I have mySQL installed on a box running Red Hat 7.2. The database is running fine, the only problem is that it is not accepting connections to 3006. I have done a web search for this on the net and have found some sites saying that I need to remove a skip-networking option on safe_mysqld. Looked there and in my.cnf, skip networking in is neither of those. Any help would be appreciated.

maybe you can try checking ports again. Also check you httpd.confg file for that line.

mysql runs (default) on 3306, not 3006...

If you making a connection from a remote computer be sure to grant a user with remote IP privledges.

I can't get anything when I telnet to 3306. It was a typo by the way. I can login to mysql from the machine just fine. There are many PHP pages currently using the db also. The real problem I'm having is that users would like to use mySQLfront from their windows desktops to modify the database. I basically need to figure out how to enable them to log on through port 3306. Thanks.

did you modify your permissions table to properly allow remote users to connect to the db? there's a good article on melonfire.com on access permissions with MySQL. That's most likely where your problwm lies.
