[MySql Connection Error]

Some versions of MySQL will crash when attempting to perform a DNS lookup. Hence it was crashing when trying to resovle alex.vergason.com... when I places the placed the following entry into the /etc/hosts file everything worked just fine.

 

192.168.0.77 alex.vergason.com

 

Strange, but a workaround none the less.

[MySql Connection Error]

It never asked for a password. It just kicks out the error. When I use the -p option it will ask for one, and then give the error. I can connect from the console of my MySQL server.

[MySql Connection Error]

All of this happens when:

 

 

[root@vergason phpMyAdmin-2.3.2]# mysql -u alex -h 192.168.0.203

ERROR 2013: Lost connection to MySQL server during query

 

 

(NOTE: a password is required)

[MySql Connection Error]

When ever I try to connect to my MySQL server from a remote client I get the error:

 

ERROR 2013: Lost connection to MySQL server during query

 

when I check the MySQL log it says:

 

Number of processes running now: 1

mysqld process hanging, pid 3131 - killed

030212 14:49:14 mysqld restarted

/usr/libexec/mysqld: ready for connections

 

ANY and ALL suggestions will be appreciated. I have spent FAR too much time on this.
