Re: Mysql Client and Freebsd 5.2-RELEASE
Thanks, I'm planning on downgrading to 4.9 or 4.8 when my new server arives. Since the problem can be recreated on other machines I know it's not hardward/networking issues. Just thought someone might have a fix besides upgrading.. :) The alpha version was from the ports... --- Matthew Seaman [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Tue, Jul 13, 2004 at 02:48:19PM -0700, Jon Lyons wrote: I've been trying without success to get the mysql client(any version) built from ports collection to connect to a remote mysql server, get Lost connection to MySQL server.

Mysql Client and Freebsd 5.2-RELEASE
Hi, I've been trying without success to get the mysql client(any version) built from ports collection to connect to a remote mysql server, get Lost connection to MySQL server. I've read the mysql site, google, but it's only a problem on my 5.2 machine. Locally the client works fine, and other machines are able to access the server. On my Freebsd 4.8 machine built with the same verion/port the connection works fine. It's not a mysql permessions problem/network problem. Has anybody got the client to function correctly on Freebsd 5.2?
