dsartain Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 Hey guys, I just finished setting up my linux box to run as a server for web design and as a mysql server. Since I'll be accessing this by domain name...whatever.com...I need to know how to set up my router for this...does mysql need to run through a specific port to work properly, or can I just assign a port to it??I looked on my router and it didn't have "mysql" as a predefined option....

fenway Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 You have to have a CNAME record for this, I believe... and the router just have to leave that port open Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsartain Posted December 3, 2006 Author Share Posted December 3, 2006 sorry for my ignorance, but what do you mean, CNAME?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_oliver Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 mySQL runs on port 3306 (TCP/IP) by default. You may wish to increase this for security if your the only user? I asume you will need to set up your router to forword access on this post to your servers IP address.Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsartain Posted December 4, 2006 Author Share Posted December 4, 2006 Awesome, so I should just add a new application in my router called "mysql" and run it through port 3306, right?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenway Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 Sound about right... I was confused earlier about your post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
