Cannot Remote Access On Non-default Port
On MySQL server running on UNIX machine I changed the default port 3306 to 40006. From Windows PC I ran this command: mysql -p -u user1 -h mysqltest:40006 testdatabase

It does not work. It only works if I use the default port 3306.
How can I remote access on non-default port?

What Port Does Mysql Use For SSL?
I can't find it documented what port the mysql server uses to listen for SSL connections. I'm trying to figure out what port to open up in the firewall. I'm using mysql 5.0.24a on RHEL 4.

MySQL Port
How do I check that what Port number is MySQL is running on it? I type this command: netstat -a did not show anything yet.
But I know that mysql run 3306 as default number, but when I run the following command: netstat -a | grep 3306 gives the following warning: 'warning, got duplicate tcp line'

On What Port Is MySQL Running?
I'm running MySQL on my Mac, and I'm trying to figure out on what port MySQL is running. What can I type into Unix terminal to figure this out? Or can I find out some other way?

MySQL Server On Different Port
Because I'm using a Java program that connect to my MySQL server from a remote location that doesn't allow connecting to port 3306.

I'm forced to change the port to a number that will work on the client end. Port 23 is allowed and since I don't run a telnet server, I'd like to run MySQL on port 23 instead of 3306. I change it to port 23 in the my.conf file, but the service won't start. I can make it port 3310 and it'll start just fine. Why won't it let me use 23?

MySQL Port 3306
I want to run MySQL on server but it only be accessible to programs on
localhost. I see that port 3306 is open on server so I need to close
it.How do I do that while keeping it available to programs running on
localhost?

MySQL Multiple Port Numbers
Have a LAMP server and am trying to get MySQL to listen on multiple ports.. I need 3306 and 3307 and I just can't figure out how to get it to listen on both, one or the other just not both at the same time.

MySQL 4.0.1 Port 3306 Error
I am trying to run the server on my PC and have already got Apache and PHP working fine. Whenever I run MySQL 4.0.1 Gamma however, a port 3306 error comes up saying that I possibly have another copy of the MySQL server already running which is not true. Also, I have noticed that my internet connection ceases to function along with Apache and everything tells me I'm behind an unknown proxy server.

Mysql Commandline Tool -- Port Broken
the "mysql" command allows me to use any ridiculous number after "--port=", even "80", as shown below. I can even use a random string like "abcd" in place of "80".

Exactly what I want to do? I need to experiment with the "mysql" commandline tool together with tcpdump. So far, my tcpdump command cannot detect *any* thing about mysql.

yes my tcpdump can detect http traffic.
yes my tcpdump can detect something when i run "telnet loalhost 3306".

------------- snip ---------------
$ mysql -u xxx -pxxxxxx -h localhost --port=80 -vvv
Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or g.

Close Mysql Port Or Bind It To Only Localhost Or ...
I only use mysql locally. I want to

- close port 3306 if possible (like starting Oracle database without
starting listener),
- or bind it to localhost only (like what sendmail does),
- or next best thing

for security.

I am on redhat 9, and use mysql 3.23.55. I can upgrade if newer
version provide the functionality.

Mysql Command Line Client Ignores Port Number
I am running 4.1-7 on an SGI (unix.) The server is listening on port 3307.

I can connect like:
mysql -uusername -ppassword -P123 -hhostname database
and I can also connect like:
mysql -uusername -ppassword -P3307 -hhostname database

and they BOTH connect!

It seems that mysql ignores the port number passed in on the command line.

Is it reading a config file that I am missing (if so, why doesn't the command line port override whatever is set in this file.)

How To Connect Directly To Mysql Server Port (3306) Using TCP/IP Protocol
I want to develop an application in LabWindows/CVI (ANSI C developpment software for instrumentation) from which I could connect directly to mysql server port (3306) using TCP/IP protocol. This developpment environment allows me to use functions to connect, read and write to a certain port using TCP/IP protocol. I must say I'm new to using MySQL and I searched the manual without any response to my question.

Backup MySQL Via Port 3306 (which Tool? Automatic Backup?)
i have quite a big database on my website - and i cannot get any backup via system dump or scripts anymore, because my hoster added some memory limits - and scripts/dump can't finish...

so the only way left is to backup my database via connection to port 3306 and tools like mysqlfront.

mysqlfront is unfortunately quite slow and buggy - so do you know any tools which can backup databases via external connection? - it would be great if there are tools which run automatically? (batch/commandline??)
backup with mysql.exe - h -u .... is impossible, too!

Port Range
What range of ports does MySQL use because I need to set it up with my firewall. At the moment i have added 3306 but when it changes port to one in whatever the range is it says lost connection to server. It works fine with firewall off.

Can I Run Two Instances On Same PORT
I am using mysql and like to know the possibilities of running two instances in same port?

Port 3306
I'm trying to install my sql on a w2k3 std box....... I get the firewall setting error message... I open up the port (like stated in all the many topics I've seen here.... I STILL get the same massage. What the hell do I do? I tried earlier versions up to ver 4.1 and still the same thing.

Can't Connect Port = 0??
I have root access to this server which has been preconfigured. I can
connect using the mysql command tool. But I cannot connect using any
mysql GUI software (I am currently tunneling the 3306 port to 3306 on
the server using SSH). So i ran mysqladmin variables. And got the
following:

port 0

instead of the usually port 3306. Obviously I cannot connect on port 0.
How can I troubleshoot this and get mysql running so I can connect via
tunneling?

Open Additional Port
I need to access an external MySQL db through a firewall. I'd like to open up an additional port (leaving 3306 as is) to the same MySQL instance.
For example, I have my mail server running on both ports 25 and 26 (ISP blocks outbound 25).

Port 3306 - Can't Get Started
I have tried to install MySQL 4.0.14 on my Pentium 1.7Ghz running WindowsXP
Professional.

the installation ran through without any problems.

However, every command gives an error:
C:mysqlin>mysql
ERROR 2003: Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061)

C:mysqlin>mysql --install
mysql: ERROR: unknown option '--install'

C:mysqlin>mysqladmin -u root shutdown
....failed - and it suggested I telnet localhost 3306

C:mysqlin>telnet localhost 3306
Connecting to localhost...Could not open connection to the host, on port
3306: Connect failed

C:mysqlin>mysqladmin test
mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed.

Ado Connection String For Tcpip Port
Currently I connect to MySql using the following vbscript:

set conn = createobject("ADODB.Connection")
conn.ConnectionString = "DRIVER={MySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver};"_
& "SERVER=localhost;"_
& "DATABASE=test;"_
& "UID=venu;PWD=venu;OPTION=3"
conn.open()

I would like to change my connection string so that I connect using
TCP/IP and I would like to specify port 3306 inside the string. I
know how to do this with MS SqlServer, but does someone know how to do
this with MySQL?

How To Change Root Password And Port
I have recently installed MySQL 3.23 on Windows 2000 Server. Can anyone tell me how do I change the root password and default port of MySQL?

Access Denied With Port 3306
here is my problem

I get the error "access denied for user root@localhost" with a note that if I have a firewall I should open port 3306

I really have a Norton 2005 firewall enabled and I do not know how to open port 3306
although I give a rule to all mysql services to use any ports.

Authentication Problem On Nonstandard Port
I am running two database instances of mysql (one on a nonstandard
port). After granting users permissions I find that I can access
mysql from other machines only if I use the standard port. When I use
the non-standard port I can only authenticate if I am on the box where
the database is running. Also some previously set up users can
authenticate through the non-standard port (sadly no one knows how
those users were set up). What do I need to do to allow for
authentication on the nonstandard port ex:

mysql -h<HOST> -u<USERNAME> -p
(defaulting to standard port works)
mysql -h<HOST> -u<USERNAME> -P<NON-STANDARD PORT> -p
(fails)

MySQL Default Value
When a customer places an order, the database sets the default at "3" which means "not complete" when it is complete and billed, It is assigned a "1"

I want to have it be assigned a new number on all future orders, but no not want it to go back and reset every single past order. If I change the default value number in the database, will it only apply to new orders, or will it change every single record to the new default regardless of their current status?

Connector/ODBC Not Saving Port Setting
Using MySQL Connector/ODBC 3.51, I set the port to a non-default value
(3309), under 'Connection Options' to connect to a remote machine running 2
versions of MySQL. 'Test' is successful but when I close the Connector/ODBC
window on XP the port setting is not saved so the DSN doesn't work.

Internet Port 3306 Open Safe
I have a server at an ISP - I've got port 3306 open in the firewall so
that I can work from remote however its got me thinking if its safe? I
know Microsoft got hit with slammer (or whatever) worm on their
unpatched machines that were exposed to the outside world, but I'm
trying to measure up the risks by having my db server exposed for a few
weeks.

Need Help - Mysql 5 Default Values
I created a program for mysql 3.23...
We launch on tuesday...
Problem is we are installing it on laptops and are tech guy installed mysql 5 instead of the version we currently use. In the mysql 3 when you make a query if there is a null value in the query it automatically places the default value into the table.
I.E.
Query: INSERT INTO someTable SET someCol=''
Column Default: 'a'
In mysql 5 it throws an error saying the column value is out of range if your trying to insert a null value. I need it to automatically insert the default value.
Is there a way to change the configuration of mysql to automatically insert the default value if a null value is encountered (and the column is a not null setting).
This is really really important,

Default Value Problem In Mysql
- Database table with a decimal field set to Null and with a default value of 0.00
- PHP page with a form containing a price field which, on submission adds a new record to the table. If the user leaves the price field empty on the form the intention was for the default value to be applied to the field. However, an error is returned to the effect that a valid decimal value was not input.
The form could have a default value of 0.00 displayed to the user and while this overcomes the problem it would be preferable to allow the field to be left blank.
Is it the case that the script is picking up the field as being an empty string and if so how do I get around this?

Default Password Of Mysql
I was checking an already used mysql. I dont think their passwords were changed. What is the default passwords for the users( root, mysql, etc)?

Default Password Set In Mysql
Can any one tell me if there is a default password set in mysql when installing it. I am sure that i did not give any password while installation process. To confirm it i installed it many times and different versions as well.

I am having following error message:

ERROR 1045: Access denied for user: 'ODBC@localhost' (Using password: NO)

Default Mysql User
I need to know the user name of my "mysql" database so i can connect it to other applications.

So far i haven't created any new profiles, so i'm only prompted to enter the user password when i start up mysql.

Would the default users name in my case be "root" or is that only on unix machines? (i'm running mysql on win2000)

Default MySQL Return Value For Query
I'm writing a multilingual web site where not all content will necessarily be multilingual. I have a languageid and want to retrieve the content for that language. However, if that content doesn't exist, I would want to retrieve content for the default language.

My ideal query would be something like:

SELECT content FROM page_content WHERE pageid=$pid AND languageid=$userlang IF NO RESULTS WHERE pageid=$pid AND languageid=$defaultlangid

I imagine my made- up 'IF NO RESULTS' directive does not exist. Is there any way to get that kind of functionality from one query? Since I will be having queries all over the site to retrieve different kinds of localized things (image tags, html code, textual content), it would be awesome if I could figure out a way to consolidate.

Maybe there is a way to sort results from this query:

SELECT content FROM page_content where pageid=$pid AND (languageid=$userlang OR languageid=$defaultlang) ORDER BY .... ?

I'm also not sure if the nested boolean will work.

Default Charset/collation In Mysql
My language is Farsi and since I was using previous versions of MySQL, I had no problem. But upgrading to 4.1, I notice that character "Ý" is not displayed the way it should be. After reading chapter 10 of mysql manual, I sent this query after connecting to my database in PHP, and I have no problem:

$res = mysql_query("SET NAMES 'utf8'");
if ( !$res )
{
print "<pre>" . mysql_error() . "</pre>";
}

The thing is that I really do not wana send it in my PHP code, since I have some scritps that I'm not allowed to modify, so, I tried starting mysqld with the default-character-set option, just like:

mysqld_safe --default-character-set=utf8 --default-collation=utf8_general_ci &

and it really works fine. I even checked the Server Variable and Settings in phpMyAdmin and everything is set to utf8. But you know what? My code still doesn't work if I remove the first code that I wrote in here, I mean if I don't send that query (SET NAMES 'utf8'), I was wondering why? I mean it's working, as the server variables show, but then they have no effect. What should I do.

Default Table Type On MySQL 5
I seem to recall reading somewhere that InnoDB was the default table type for MySQL 5. Yet when I did a 'show table types' it indicated that MyISAM was the default type since version 3.

How To Show All Records In MYSQL Query Using Default Value

CREATE TABLE With DEFAULT CHARSET In MySQL < 4.1
Ok, I've read the whole chapter 10 of the reference manual and now I know, that only MySQL Version up from 4.1 support the

CREATE TABLE tbl (cols) DEFAULT CHARACTER SET foo COLLATE bar

statement. But is it possible to create tables with special charactersets (at least UTF8) with a MySQL version prior to 4.1?

How To Change The Default Charset With GBK Or Other Language Of Mysql ??
I install a mysql server in default installation with latin charset, but I want to use GBK(a chinese charset), so that I can store and search chinese words directly. Code:

Bad? Id Int(11) DEFAULT '0'
I'm trying to install the authlib module that's required for the open-source iOutliner web-based outliner (http://ioutliner.com), but it fails halfway through when creating the tables:

//Bad! /* SQL Error: Invalid default value for 'id' */
$query = mysql_query("CREATE TABLE authlib_data (
id int(11) DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL auto_increment,
name text NOT NULL,
email text NOT NULL,
age int(3) DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL,
sex text NOT NULL,
school text NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (id)
)");

//Bad! /* SQL Error: Invalid default value for 'id' */
$query = mysql_query("CREATE TABLE authlib_login (
id int(11) DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL auto_increment,
username text NOT NULL,
password text NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (id)
)");

According to Google, DEFAULT '(0)' seems a legit instruction. What's wrong with this?

Specifying Default ''
does specifying default make the table smaller, like

setting_title varchar(32) NOT NULL default '',

instead of
setting_title varchar(32) NOT NULL,
make the entire row smaller, instead of a blank 32?
