Also if you are just using a locally installed MySQL (stand alone machine) then don't point to 127.0.0.1 - this can cause problems. Use a static IP address and point to that IP in your rd.conf file
All of what he said.... Certain apps, notably Talk and MySQL are brain-dead when it comes to addressing localhost. As well documented on this very list over many years, the IP 127.0.0.1 is problematic. Why that one only out of the entire 127.x.x.x block, who knows ? Since the entire 127.x.x.x block refers to localhost and the lo network interface, it therefore is prudent to use any 127.x.x.x EXCEPT 127.0.0.1 when referring to the local machine. Typically, I use 127.0.0.2 but 127.234.145.178 would work just as well. -- Cowboy http://cowboy.cwf1.com Sooner or later you must pay for your sins.
