hi all:
I'm a new one. I have a mysql server in 192.168.27.72 , and a mysql
client in 192.168.23.73.
I use this way:
mysql -h 192.168.27.72 -u root -p

the ERROR message is:
ERROR 2003 (HY000): Can't connect to MySQL server on '192.168.27.72' (111)

And in 192.168.27.72
#########################################################################
service iptables status
Firewall is stopped.
#########################################################################

and there are not "bind-address " and "skip_networking" in my.cnf ??


I have installed the mysql in this way:
#########################################################################
yum -y install mysql-server

#vim /etc/my.cnf
[mysqld]
datadir=/var/lib/mysql
socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
# Default to using old password format for compatibility with mysql 3.x
# clients (those using the mysqlclient10 compatibility package).
old_passwords=1
default-character-set = utf8


[mysql]
default-character-set = utf8


[root@sample ~]# chkconfig mysqld on
[root@sample ~]# chkconfig --list mysqld
mysqld 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off


chattr -i /etc/group
chattr -i /etc/passwd
chattr -i /etc/shadow
chattr -i /etc/gshadow
useradd mysql
chattr +i /etc/group
chattr +i /etc/passwd
chattr +i /etc/shadow
chattr +i /etc/gshadow


chown mysql /var/run/mysqld/

cd /var/lib/mysql
chown mysql -R *
cd ?C


mysql_install_db --user=mysql --ldata=/var/lib/mysql


[root@sample ~]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysqld start
