In this episode I figured out that the problem is not
stunnel or the remote connection. I simply cant log
in with the command:
mysql -u root -h 127.0.0.1 -p
I just get a connection refused message. There should
be a trick here that I'm missing if history is a
lesson, but I'm a noob to mysql. Anyone know it? I
can't use my other mere mortal account to log in
either although both work fine if I say:
mysql -u root -h localhost -p
