MYSQL :: Connect To "mysql" In Hosting Server?

"Host Not Allowed To Connect To This MySQL Server"
I just recently installed Fedora Core 4 and was just messing around with the MySQL server, I tried using mysql-administrator to connect to the server and i get this strange error "#HY000Host '192.168.1.104' is not allowed to connect to this MySQL server", I saw mysqlaccess and tried granting myself access to this server but i still get the same error while trying to connect!? Any thoughts?

I Get "Can't Connect To MySQL Server 'name' 10061" (sometimes)
We have a system that runs php5 and MySql 4.1. The apache and mysql servers are on the same in-house network but on different boxes.

If a number of users invoke a page which has multiple queries that access a DB table of about 1 million rows of about 40 times, then the user gets "Can't connect to MySQL server 'name' 10061. This happen very irregularly.

The server chokes and a few seconds later comes back to life. I searched for this and got a lot of hits where users donâ€™t have a connection at all. This is not the case.

- We have a SonicWall firewall, could the firewall think that itâ€™s an attack on a port, when that many connections are coming?
- I also checked dev.mysql.com and got a lot of info on 10061, but itâ€™s only those users who can't connect at all.

Intermittent "Can't Connect To MySQL Server"
Recently, I started getting small periods of intermittent connection errors about once every hour, lasting for about 1 to 5 minutes each time:
Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket
'/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock'

I enabled the error log and did some other monitoring and established 2 things:
- the server doesn't crash/restart, it keeps running throughout the errors
- the errors do not match the load on the website, as sometimes when 500 users are online there are no errors, but when 300 are online they may by prolific

I checked many forums and then made 5 changes:
- changed the directory containing the mysql.sock file so only file owners or superusers can delete files from it
- I changed the default socket file setting in both my.cnf and php.ini
- I read about SELinux causing such a problem, so I disabled SELinux completely, rebooted the server and double-checked that it is indeed disabled.
- I changed the maximum amount of open files allowed by the operating system from 1024 to 30000.

Despite all these changes, I still get the errors. I then read that there is a workaround by using TCP/IP instead of the sock file. I tried that, but I still get the error intermittently in the form of:
Can't connect to MySQL server on 127.0.0.1

This is a extremely frustrating problem, it's been bugging us for weeks, anyone who can offer some help - it will be greatly appreciated!

Unable To Connect To Server (was "Novice User Problem")
I've been reading Kevin Yank's Build Your Own Database Driven Website and am unable to connect to the MySQL server as he describes in Chapter 4 (p. 74-75).

After modifying his code to produce a mysql_error, I get:

Even though I am using the latest MySQL server (5.0).
My

$dbcnx = @mysql_connect('localhost', 'root', 'my_actual_password');
if (!$dbcnx) {
exit('Unable to connect to server at this time.' . mysql_error() . '');
}

if (!@mysql_select_db('ijdb')) {
exit('Unable to locate the joke database at this time.');
}

Here are all the jokes in our MySQL database:</P.

if (!$result) {
exit('Error performing query: ' . mysql_error() . '');
}
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {

Single Query For No Of Hits "Today", "This Month", "This Year"
Is it possible to construct a single query that fetches the no of pageviews "today", "this month", "this year" and "total since start"?

The table is very simple, one field for Date (YYYY-MM-DD) and one for the no of pageviews this day.

If not, would it be much slower/faster to divide the query into 4 different queries?

"can't Connect To Mysql Server
I was using MySQL till a few days ago just fine. Now everytime I try to run
it using mysql.exe, I get the following error:

What can I do to get rid of this? (What is 10061?)

Encountering 2013 Error ("Lost Connection To MySQL Server...")
I have a nightly job that performs backups on my MySQL servers. There are three production MySQL instances on different machines. My backups have been running successfully for months (until now).

However, on last night's backups for one instance, a couple of database/schemas (appear to have) backed up successfully, but the larger schemas failed, as follows:

=======================================
Backup of schema dhunt was successful in 0 seconds
Backup of schema mysql was successful in 0 seconds
Backup of schema support_appl was successful in 0 seconds
Error: Backup of schema support_dict was not successful (1115 seconds):
mysqldump: Got error: 2013: Lost connection to MySQL server during query when retrieving data from server
Error: Backup of schema test was not successful (0 seconds):
mysqldump: Got error: 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2) when trying to connect
=======================================

I re-ran the backup cron job with the same results. Does anyone have any troubleshooting suggestions?

How Can I "see" A Table In A Database On A Remote MySQL Server After Creating It
I used the following SQL to create a new table in a database on
a remote MySQL server by copying one already there. I know the
table exists SOMEWHERE in cyberspace. I can read its data, write
to it, delete from it. But I cannot see it. The only way I know it
exists is by running this SQL from Access 97 pass through query:

SELECT ALL new_tbl.name FROM new_tbl

The database resides on a MySQL server that was created with
a single table (named test) in it for testing purposes. I ran the
following SQL to create another copy of the table in the same
database named: new_tbl

CREATE TABLE new_tbl SELECT * FROM test;

I cannot see the new table in the Access 97 database window
under the Tables Tab. Anybody know how to overcome this?

Its a severe drawback to programming efforts not to KNOW what
tables are in your database.

"Lost Connection To MySQL Server During Query"
Bog standard SuSE 8.2 Linux install.

I have installed mySQL (off the SuSE 8.2 distro CDs). I can connect locally,
e.g:

....logs me in just fine. However, this:

bealzebub> mysql -u root -p mysql -h bealzebub

....causes the connection to fail with: "ERROR 2013: Lost connection to MySQL

"external" MySQL Server MsAccess Connection
I do have rented server space (webhosting) with 3 MySQL databases and a standard URL (e.g. www.1234567.ch).

Is it possible to connect to this "external" server with MsAccess?
If yes how?

REQ: MySQL 4.0 Equivilent Of "DateDiff("m", Date, Now())=1"
I have a query that works in the rest of the SQL world

"SELECT invoice.*, invoice.Date
FROM invoice
WHERE (DateDiff("m", Date, Now())=1);"

which will give me all of last month's invoices.

However it doesn't work with MySQL 4.0.

While

"SELECT
Invoice.*
FROM
invoice
WHERE
(Month(Invoice.Date) = ((Month(Now()))-1))"

Is a close substituent, it will blowup in January.

Anyone have an equivalent expression for MySQL 4.0?

MySQL "Server Types"
I have created a MySQL table in one of my domains control panel (borderprints.co.uk)

All the .php files are in the other domain (dryburghfalconry.co.uk) as this domain does not have the MySQL option.

So... in this line in my config.php:

$server = "localhost"; .........

........what should i have to access the table in the borderprints.co.uk domain from the dryburghfalconry.co.uk domain....? if possible...?

"Connect By" / Connect By Prior Clause
One thing that very annoying me in SQL SERVER is the lack of the "connect by" support. The other thing is that in order to take advantage of multi-processors/cores system, you have to pay a good deal of money.

Therefore, I'm examining MySQL now & wanted to know if there is a "Connect by" support in MySQL? It's not just syntax issue, but also performance issue. Anyhow, it's far more comfortable.

Server Not "seeing" MySQL
This seems to be a constant problem and a great frustration for newbies looking for alternatives to MS solutions. I had PHP, Apache, and MySQL installed and working on my Windows 2000 machine but now have a new machine with XP. PHP and Apache are working but its as though MySql wasn't even there.

When I run phpinfo() to troubleshoot, there isn't even any reference to MySQL in all the data I get back. Been following the threads on this forum and it looks like everything else is right; my.ini in the right place; libraries in the right place; - who's got the magic bullet?

"dumping" Database From My Comp To Server?
i have been developing a site and building the DB on my comp at home. i do not have inet access and choose not to for security reasons. am i able to utilize the dump feature (new to this) still?

would i be able to save (burn) the info to a disk and then use that to perform the DB transfer to the new server? or what would be the workaround, if any...

Searching For Numbers - "close To" Or "approximate"
I would like to know how to search a table for records where a particular field is "close to" a particular number.

For instance, let's say I have a table containing students and their most recent test scores. I'd like to see students who scored 7/10. That's easy enough (select * from table where score = 7). I'd also like to run another query to identify other students whose scores are not 7 but "close to" 7. Ie students who scored 6 or 8.

As an added bonus, I'd like to be able to do a related search that shows students who scored 7, then shows the other students ordered by how "close" they are to 7. Ie students who scored 6 or 8 are "closest" matches, and students who scored 1 are "furthest". I hope this makes sense!

Is there any pre-existing MySQL command that will do this? Or will I have to run separate queries for each value?

Server "date Created"
When I open MySQL Control Center, it shows "server properties" window
when the server is selected on the left pane.

One of the property is "date created". I have not found this variable in server
and status variables .... Does anyone know how to read this variable using
MySQL SQL query or MySQL API (not file system, etc. ) ?

Equivalent To MS SQL "Linked Server"
Is there an equivalent to "Linked Servers" on the SQL Server platform?

If so, I'll continue my exploration into MySQL... I've installed servers on Linux and Windows and have yet to come up with a GREAT GUI management tool but I'm sure it's out there (any suggestions?) Anyway, my question is...

"Is there an equivalent to "Linked Servers" in MySQL?"

I need to access other DB's as though they were local and have a central spot for development.

Value "000" Stored As "0" In Text Field?
I've managed to import my data from a CSV using SQLyog Enterprise, however, I have a problem with the table storing the text value "000", MySQL truncates it to "0", unfortunately, I need the value to be stored as "000", does anyone know of any way that I can force the field to store all the characters, rather than treating it as a number? Surely a text field should treat any numbers stored within it as text?

Return A "true" Or "false"
i wanna do a "select", where if the script finds any matches, i dont wanna know about them. Instead, i just want it to return a a value: true (1) ou false (0).

ie.:

$sth = $dbh->prepare("SELECT * FROM maps WHERE name='algo' LIMIT 1");
$sth->execute();

if (match is true) {
print "True Match. A match was found";
}
else {
print "False Match. No matches were found.";
}

"Group By" Forgets "Order By"
I'm trying to build a simple RSS reader for a client and am running into some serious problems with the GROUP BY in MySQL. Basically I have two tables: one that holds all the entries and one that holds all the feeds. Then what I can do is say:
[MYSQL]SELECT * FROM entries WHERE feed_id='13' ORDER BY date DESC[/MYSQL]
That will select all the entries that belong to feed #13. This is fine, but what I'm doing now is building a library that will display the feed_id with the latest entry with that id. So I would think it would be something like the following:
[MYSQL]SELECT * FROM entries GROUP BY feed_id ORDER BY date DESC[/MYSQL]
That should get me the single latest entry from each feed_id. However it's forgetting the ORDER BY clause all together and seemingly ordering it by the auto-incrememnt value in the entries field.

"table Is Read Only" After Copying Table Files To New Server
I'm trying to port my MySQL tables for a database called "tracerlock" from
one server to another. On the old server, in the /var/lib/mysql/tracerlock
directory, there was a ".MYD", ".MYI" and ".frm" file for every table in
the database. So after creating a database called "tracerlock" on the new
server, I copied these files over to the /var/lib/mysql/tracerlock
directory on the new server. On both servers, all the table files are
owned by user "mysql" in the "mysql" group.

Now, when I connect to MySQL on the new machine and load the tracerlock
database, "show tables" shows all the tables as expected, and I can perform
SELECT statements on them and get the correct results. But when I try
doing INSERT statements on one of the tables that was copied over, I get:

mysql> INSERT INTO test VALUES(3);
ERROR 1036: Table 'test' is read only

However, if I create a new table called test2, I can perform INSERT
statements on it with no error:

mysql> insert into test2 values(3);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)

Code:

REGEXP To Find "foo-bar" And "foo Bar"

Maximum Execution Time Of 300 Seconds Exceeded (was "MYSQL Error")
I have a huge database 400mb+ in size which i have exported into a .sql file. I tried to run this export script into a new database and it runs fine until three quarters into the scripts execution and the following error appears:

ERROR 1064 (42000): You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ' 
Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 300 seconds exceeded in <b' at li ne 1
I believe this error may relate to "delayed_insert_timeout = 300". How do I increase this limit in mysql - maybe it may solve the problem but then again it may not .

Any advice is most gratefully appreciated - As you can imagine if the script runs fine for 3/4 of it and then an error appears, stating the error is on line 1, it will take me days to go through the whole script (hundreds of thousands of rows) to find the error as I assume the error does not reside on line 1 as this line would have been executed.

I am running the script on mysql 5, and via source /path/****.sql on linux.

Store Web Site Club Registration Data (was "MySQL Question")
I am working on a website for a club. One thing that they want included in the site is a way for people to register online for the club and their services and for this information to be put into a database for the owners to view. Is this something that I can do with MySQL?

Batch Mode Feedback Of "mysql" Command Line Tool
while writing a bash shell script to backup some databases and I am having slight problems with the mysql command line tool's feedback.

Here goes command line:

#!/usr/bin/env bash
mysql -ubackup -e "UPDATE `mydb`.`sysvar` SET `val`='backup' WHERE `var`='updateState' AND `val`='0';"

The backspaces are nescessary for the shell, otherwise it'd interpret whatever is inclosed in --> ` <--- as command.

The problem is, I need to know wether a line has changed or not. The command always returns 0 (that is a success in Unix/Linux) if it was successfully executed, no matter wether or not a line had been changed, and produces no output at all.

Could anyone tell me how I get that info?

"supplied Argument Is Not A Valid MySQL Result Resource" Error

The error is referring ot the last 2 lines of this script.

Linking Stores With Products (was "MySQL Dificult Code")
I have a MySQL database dificult (for me anyway..).
I have a ecommerce site with a table of products.
Now I want to create a new table with a list of stores where clients can find near home those products. In a limit situation I can have a list of all products indexed in one store (and the products list is increasing everyday, the same with the list of store...). I want this feature to be capable of introdution of new products in a store that already as several products.
My idea is to develop 3 tables:

Products
+----+-----------+--------------+
| id | name | description |
+----+-----------+--------------+
| 1 | xxxxx | aasa... |
| 2 | vvvvvv | asasasasas... |
+----+-----------+--------------+

Stores
+----+-------------------+-----------+
| id | store | address |
+----+-------------------+----------+
| 1 | aaaaa | street1... |
| 2 | bbbbbb | street2... |
+----+-------------------+-----------+

Linking stores with products
+----+-------------------+-------------+
| id | store id | products id |
+----+-------------------+-------------+
| 1 | 1 | 1;2 |
| 2 | 2 | 2 |
+----+-------------------+-------------+

Can I implement this in MySQL? I mean how can (if I can) place several ids in a field? and how can I do the query in order to list the products inside a store?
Hope that I made my self clear. If not please do not hesitate to request further information.

What Is Execution Time Of A Query Based On? (was "a Mysql Question")
when selecting data from the database, does the time taken to retrieve it vary from 56k connections to T3 connections? or does it all depends ont he general server speed/amount of connections on the db?

im not sure if ive explained that in the best way for people to understand
but im sure someone will get what i mean

Adjacent Theater Seats (was "mySQL Query Issue")
Having not been working with more than a simple SELECT * from table query, I am having a few issues when it comes to using more complex queries.

I am currently using a query to select seats from a database using the following query:

$query1 = mysql_query("SELECT struct.seatid, struct.row, struct.seatnum FROM seats as seat LEFT JOIN structure as struct USING (seatid) WHERE seat.showtimeid=".(int) $_GET['id']." && seat.available = Ƈ' && seat.timelimit < $minutes2 ORDER BY seat.seatid ASC");
For each record that is selected I want to check if either of the seats either side of it are also selected, if not then it is not to be shown.

I have added a while loop below the above query and run another query following it (not sure if that makes sense, so I will paste it below!)

while($rows = mysql_fetch_assoc($query1)){

$minusseat = $rows[seatid] - 1;
$plusseat = $rows[seatid] + 1;

$queryminusseat = mysql_query("SELECT * from seats LEFT JOIN structure WHERE seat.showtimeid=".(int) $_GET['id']." && seat.available = Ƈ' && seat.seatid == $minusseat && seat.timelimit < $minutes2");

$num_rows = mysql_num_rows($queryminusseat)or die(mysql_error());

echo "$num_rows";

//if($minusnum > 0){
//echo "$minusseat " . $rows[seatid] ." $plusseat ";
//} else {
//echo "$minusseat " . $rows[seatid] ." $plusseat ";
//}

}
The code above is used below the initial query and the following error is being displayed:

Compare 2 Tables And Find Rows Which Don't Match (was "Mysql Noob Question")
I have a products table and a products_description table. They both have products_id as primary key. However, products_description table has more products_id keys then the products table. How do i compare the 2 tables and show just the products_id that dont match from products_descripition table?

SELECT products.products_id, products_description.products_id FROM products, products_description WHERE products.products_id != products_description.products_id;

I tried that query but got some wierd results and also the results gave me 2 columns when I just want one.

Help! MySQL DB Transfer Is Adding "�" To The End Of Some Sentences
I'm transferring databases from one hosting account to another and my transfer seems to be adding little squares to the end of some sentences but not all. the squares look like "lower.�" You can see an example at http://www.alohaupdate.com/2007/02/2...ents-a-gallon/.
If you can't see the squares, give it an hour. I switched hosts as mentioned and it's taking the full 24-48 to propogate around the world.
The old host is using MySQL version 4.0.27 and the new one is using 4.1.21, should transfer nicely. I've done version 4 to version 5 before just using the INSERT functions and this never was a problem.
I don't even know what that thing is.

Unchecking The Enable TCP/IP Option (was "Mysql Problem")
I have had a problem with Mysql so I downloaded it again but after configuring it would not start so reconfigured and unchecked the enable TCP/IP box in the networking options and Mysql worked fine. But canâ€™t get PHP to connect so I think the enable TCP/IP box should be ticked. So I thought I would do better with a complete re start. I have removed and reloaded several times but the same problem occurs every time.

Next And Prev DisplayOrder Values (was "Help With MySQL Query")
I have a table 'Album' containing columns 'PageID' and 'DisplayOrder' (both INT).
On each page that is displayed I want to have 'previous' and 'next' links to other pages, which are arranged via the DisplayOrder column.

At the moment I'm doing this in 2 separate queries:

SELECT DisplayOrder FROM Album WHERE PageID = $currentPage
$currentNo = [result of last query]
SELECT PageID FROM Album WHERE DisplayOrder IN ($currentNo-1, $currentNo+1)
Highly simplified but you get the idea. Would it be possible to combine this into one query?
