Hi,
I solved the problem I asked about this morning. I found out that I need to
specify only part of the domain as the host paramater. If I specify the
full qualified hostname, it seems like mySQL reverts it back to
"localhost", which fails.
Example (the machines full name is: shauny.ih-graulich.baden-online.de)
mysql --user=root --password --port=3351 --host=shauny
The above does work. However the following two statements don't work:
mysql --user=root --password --port=3351 --host=localhost (tries to use the
wrong socket, as the one compiled into as default, clear)
and
mysql --user=root --password --port=3351
--host=shauny.ih-graulich.baden-online.de
doesn't work either. It connects to the same host as the "localhost"
statement one example above.
So, I know how to get it working, but I am still puzzled, what makes the
full qualified domain not working. (DNS is working correctly).
