MySQL Not working

Post by Alex Macca »

Hello, I have been told to come onto the forums and ask some questions. On my dedicated server, the port 3306 is open, but nothing will connect to this port, my server has been down for days and I cant fix it. I really need help.

Is this a new MySQL installation (Has it ever worked?)? in the my.conf file, do you have the bind-address line set to either 0.0.0.0 or your actual IP address? Is it instead set to 127.0.0.1 or localhost (the latter two would be incorrect)? Do you have a webserver installed on the machine, as well? If so, can you try connecting locally with something like phpMyAdmin?
