Mike~ Thanks for the reply. I did check the settings in my.cnf and skip-networking is commented out. I looked at the rest of the configuration and it seems as though it should allow the connection
Help is definitely appreciated John D -----Original Message----- From: Michael Crute [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, September 02, 2005 5:35 PM To: gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org Subject: Re: [gentoo-user] connections On 9/2/05, John Dangler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: how can I setup my laptop to connect to apps like phpmyadmin on the local fileserver? both are running gentoo 2.6.12-r9 . vfs is setup and running, but when I try to connect from the laptop to the fileserver on other apps like phpmyadmin, I get "The connection was refused when attempting to contact 127.0.0.1" I'm using http://192.168.1.10/phpmyadmin in the browser, so it would appear as though the message is saying it's trying to connect to 'localhost'. I can't verify this at the moment as I'm not within reach of my network but I do believe that you have a misconfiguration in either MyAdmin or MySQL. Check your my.cnf first and make sure that the line skip-networking is commented out. BTW... By localhost it is most likely the server referring to itself not your computer trying to connect back to itself. -Mike ______________________________________ Michael E.
