Bug#721487: mysql-server: standard mysql server installation does not listen on tcp6 protocol

2013-09-01 Thread Adrian Immanuel Kiess
Package: mysql-server
Version: 5.5.31+dfsg-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?
 Trying to connect to mysql via perl script using DBI interface
   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
 Executing the perl script
   * What was the outcome of this action?
 No database connection
   * What outcome did you expect instead?
 Database connection :-)

my default installtion of mysql does not listen via IPv6 protocol for
connections, only via IPv4 protocol.

Here is the output of netstat:

root@g6 (~) % netstat --inet --listen -p -n | grep mysql
tcp0  0 127.0.0.1:3306  0.0.0.0:*   LISTEN
27020/mysqld
root@g6 (~) % netstat --inet6 --listen -p -n | grep mysql
(no output given)

Would it be possible to make mysql listen on IPv6 with a special configuration
option (I don't know) or is it a bug? I was not not able to find the option in
the default configuration files.

Sincerely,

Adrian Immanuel KIESS

Bug#721487: [debian-mysql] Bug#721487: mysql-server: standard mysql server installation does not listen on tcp6 protocol

2013-09-01 Thread Bjoern Boschman

Hi Adrian,

letting mysql-server listen on localhost only is the default debian 
configuration. This was done as a security enhancement.


Unfortunatelly you can only supply a single IP address to bind-address

So there are only:

bind-address = 127.0.0.1 # IPv4 localhost only
bind-address = ::1 # IPv6 localhost only
bind-address = 0.0.0.0 # IPv4 any
bind-address = :: # IPv6 any

but now way to open localhost for IPv4 and IPv6 only.

my vote - close bug as it is a configuration issue.

Cheers
B
