The Perfect Setup - Debian Etch (Debian 4.0) some trouble

[daniel80]

firstly, sorry for my english, i am a frenchie.
i do the howto step by step, at the end of page 4,i had that
tcp 0 0 localhost:mysql *:* LISTEN 2723/mysqld
instead of
tcp 0 0 *:mysql *:* LISTEN 2723/mysqld

the step before i don't find bind-address = 127.0.0.1
but something about socket-please what is wrong here?

many thanks

what does it say when you run

hostname

?

[daniel80]

# hostname
or #hostname -f
return
servtel.daniel80.net
it's my server domaine

What's in /etc/mysql/my.cnf?

[daniel80]

the content is:

first a lot of line beginning by #
and
# Remember to edit /etc/mysql/debian.cnf when changing the socket location.
[client]
port = 3306
socket = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
# Here is entries for some specific programs
# The following values assume you have at least 32M ram
# This was formally known as [safe_mysqld]. Both versions are currently parsed.
[mysqld_safe]
socket = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
nice = 0
[mysqld]
#
# * Basic Settings
#
user = mysql
pid-file = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid
socket = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
port = 3306
basedir = /usr
datadir = /var/lib/mysql
tmpdir = /tmp
"/etc/mysql/my.cnf" 140 lines, 3638 characters
