Strange, how comes your hostname into this file? The Debian scripts put "localhost" there. As you probably have "skip-networking" or "bind=127.0.0.1" in your /etc/mysql/my.cnf connections to 127.0.1.1 will fail. No reboot helps here, you have to change the host line back to "localhost" in /etc/mysql/debian.cnf. I've just put the same line into my /etc/hosts and clean installed mysql but ended up with a proper debian.cnf. Please check the modification date of your debian.cnf to make sure that really nobody edited it manually. bye, -christian- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
