MySQL listen all interfaces [ISPConfig 3]

The Perfect Server - Debian Lenny (Debian 5.0) [ISPConfig 3] - Page 3

vi /etc/mysql/my.cnf - the lines containing:

[...]
# Instead of skip-networking the default is now to listen only on
# localhost which is more compatible and is not less secure.
#bind-address = 127.0.0.1
[...]

Are not included in the file: - Am I doing something wrong?

# The MySQL database server configuration file.

# You can copy this to one of:
# - "/etc/mysql/my.cnf" to set global options,
# - "~/.my.cnf" to set user-specific options.
#
# One can use all long options that the program supports.
# Run program with --help to get a list of available options and with
# --print-defaults to see which it would actually understand and use.

I now get

zeus:~# netstat -tap | grep mysql
tcp 0 0 localhost.localdo:mysql *:* LISTEN 16563/mysqld

Which is not what the Howto suggests.

How do I edit out the localhost so that MySQL listens on all ports?

And you are really sure that you are using debian etch?

Please post the output of:

grep bind-address /etc/mysql/my.cnf

zeus:~# grep bind-address /etc/mysql/my.cnf
bind-address = 127.0.0.1


Bind address is clearly localhost and not ALL as suggested in the Howto.

p.s. I try to follow the Howto word-for-word so I suppose I can be considered a beta tester of the instructions.

I am definitely NOT using ETCH - can you help to bind to ALL please?

You have to comment out the line as the tutorial describes, so find the line:

bind-address = 127.0.0.1

and change it to:

# bind-address = 127.0.0.1

and then restart mysql.

As stated above, I have printed out my.cnf and

It does not contain the line bind-address = 127.0.0.1 so it becomes rather difficult to comment out a line that is not there!

I will have a look again before I revert to ISPConfig 2 - as you suggested in another thread, ISPConfig3 is not fully finished yet and there is no indication when it may be stable.

Take a look at post #3 and you see that you already confirmed that it contains the line ;) So take a closer look at it and change it!

I will have a look again before I revert to ISPConfig 2 - as you suggested in another thread, ISPConfig3 is not fully finished yet and there is no indication when it may be stable.

You have to find and change the exact same line for ispconfig 2 as well, so that makes no difference.
