Ubuntu :: Connecting Microsoft Access To MySQL On Server?
Mar 23, 2011
I've been using ubuntu for quite a few years, and know the basics of databases. However, how to get them to talk to each other... Not so much.
I need to be able to connect to a MySQL database using Microsoft Access 20074. The database is going to be running on my server, which runs ubuntu server 10.10.
So far, I have installed MySQL server and libmyodbc. I took the deetails for the odbc.ini file from the ODBC ubuntu community page, so this is the current setup (database name is business):
I'm having problems connecting to the mysql database on my system. I first noticed this when I was trying to set up the program anymeal. I subsequently tried using MySQL Administrator (mysql-admin), but had no luck. It gives my the following feedback:
Code:
Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)
Click the 'Ping' button to see if there is a networking problem. I press the ping button, and it seems to connect.
Has anyone got experience connecting a linux machine to a Microsoft VPN server using RSA authentication? What puzzles me perhaps most about this topic is the absolute dirth of information. If it is not possible, can anyone tell me why?
I am up and running. Symptom: webapp/servlet deployed to Tomcat, utilizes JDBC driver for MySQL connectivity. Upon launching application in browser and performing action requiring database interaction, exception thrown, server log:
I wrote a code in C to connect to MySQL by using mysql_real_connect function but I recieved error "Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)" (by using mysql_error function).
I also did the following things: in mysql I typed 'SHOW VARIABLES LIKE '%SOCKET%'', it returned /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock I typed 'mysql_config --socket' in shell, it returned /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock I modified /etc/my.cnf file
installed mySQL-server on the Ubuntu and configured it(i've made this lots of times). After that I installed mySQL-Admin and connected successfuly to the server. Tried some queries and worked fine. So, then I opened tcp 3306 for incoming and outgoing from anywhare. Went to my XP station and install mysql odbc driver, allowed tcp 3306 and tried to connect but I got an error 10061. So I decided to telnet my server with 3306 port and I got "connection failed".
Well i have got a problem with connecting to a mysql database using php. I used this package "mysql-noinstall-5.1.44-win32.zip" and extracted it to c:mysql and added c:mysqlin to the PATH variable and used the following command in command prompt to start mysql: c:mysqlinmysqld --standalone
well mysql did start and everything went well accessing mysql in command prompt. Well under the database "mysql" in the table "user" i created a new user "php" with a password="****" and hostname = "localhost" but when i try to access this database with a following php routine:
And when i accesses it with my browser using localtost/test.php, all i get is "localhost" displayed on screen, "Connected to mysql" never gets displayed not i get any error..i am using windows 7(32-bit-ultimate)and mysql 5.1.44.
I follow instruction on how to install ISPConfig2 in CentOS 5.3. CentOS 5.3 ISPConfig 2 At part 10. MySQL(5.0), I stuck with an error. Said that "Host is not allowed to connect to this MySQL server. What is the problem? Why not allowed?
I am fresh out the box to linux I am using mysql for the 1st time also, my question is what is the correct command to run on a mysql command line to connect to remote server.
We are hoping to build a central database server so that we can take all the singular instances of mysql off our web servers and have the data stored in one place (we also run a number of syslogging servers that use mysql, netflow servers that use mysql, and many other servers that have mysql tables that we would like to consolidate as well). Now I have run into the problem that requires all the customer web sites to change the configuration for their connection to the mysql server from a local connection to a remote connection, which is something we are trying to avoid. I am wondering if there is a software suite or a function of mysql itself that allows you to present the remote database information as local databases to a server, allowing customer configurations to remain intact, as if the mysql server never moved off the local machine? Or a different question, can you configure mysql server to take local requests and forward them to a central mysql server?
Scenario:A - Local Unix machineB - socks proxy server port 1080C - remote mysql server port 3306I want to connect to the remote mysql server(C) from local unix machine(A) using sock proxy(B).
I have just installed CentOS 5. I have set mysql database to access from remote machines. But now the problem is it is not connecting from the local machine now.
I'm using slackware 13.1 and I have a problem to accept remote access to mysql server.The steps I have followed to do that thing are:vi /etc/my.cnfline skip-networking is commented bind-address my_ipaddressI opened the port 3306 of my firewallAlthough I can connect locally, i.e. mysql -u a_user -h localhost -pI can't do it remotely i.e. mysql -u same_user -h my_ipaddress -pI have also turned off my firewall, but nothing.telent 3306 my_ipaddress results in: telnet: connect to address my_ipaddress: Connection refusedMy my.cnf file is:
I have a question in regards to enabling root remote access to the server.I am trying to use the mysql workbenchit kicks back an error saying "Access denied for user 'root'@'10.x.x.x' (using password: YES)" But I am able to login locally on the server.How do I enable root to long on remotely from any workstation?
I have yum installed mysql 5 on Centos5 and I can successfully run queries through shell.However, I want to now allow external access to mysql via some mysql tools (Mysql Administrator/Mysql Query Browser) which is on some windows machines on the same network.Mysql is running on port 3006.When i try connecting through mysql Admin i get the following:Could not connect to the specified instance.MySQL Error Number 2003Can't connect to MySQL server on 'ipaddress' (10065)If you want to check the network connection, please click the Ping button.Googling this I get the impression its something port related, but I have tried what I have found and still no go.When I ping the server I get:
Start Pinging: Reply from ipaddress: Time=0ms TTL=64 Reply from ipaddress: Time=0ms TTL=64
I've tried every manual there is for creating new MySQL users ... but without success. I keep getting
Code: ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'test'@'localhost' (using password: YES) even though I just created it with all privileges ... WITH a password that I DO remember .
Fortunately I still have access via the MySQL root user (so I try not to disturb that user, because I have had computers with THAT account not accessible as well - even WITH resetting the password via skip-grant-tables).
Enable remote access to MySQL database server I used the link above to enable remote access to mysql for a specific user. But when I try to telnet 3306 or user mysqladmin to connect, both just hang there. Using mysql 5.0 on opensuse 11.1
I did something silly and changed my root user access for mysql access to Any from localhost using webmin. I get an access dented when i try to open up the mysql editing page on webmin. Can any of you tell me if there is a way to change it back to hosts=localhost I am using webmin 1.5.30 on Centos 5.5. I am hoping I can change it by command line or if I can access the config files and change it that way?
I'm having a hard time to access MySQL from the local or remote shell. If I try to access MySQL, using mysql -u root -pxxxx I get the error 1045 Access denied...
MySQL is running and I can access it, using phpmyadmin.
There must be something blocking shell access. Can anybody confirm and tell me how to check/configure for shell access? I'm using ca preconfigured CenOS from PBX in a flash and it seems they did some security settings - but I can't find any further information. I know I should probably post there, but the Mods didn't activate my account yet. And you know how it is if you try to figure something out. You won't stop.
I think this goes here, but I'm not sure. I decided that XAMPP had been troublesome enough. MySQL never worked. So I decided to instal the LAMP stack offered by YaST. I went about installing it thinking that it would all work. But it seems that I was wrong. So I try to start mysql, and here's what I get:
Code: the-matrix:~ # mysql start ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/mysql/mysql.sock' (2) or Code: the-matrix:~ # rcmysql start Starting service MySQL warning: /var/mysql/mysql.sock didn't appear within 30 seconds chmod: cannot access `/var/run/mysql/mysqld.pid': No such file or directory
I have a server machine that is running SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11. I set up a mysql server there. Now I want to access this mysql server from my laptop. I used the following command,
> mysql -h 12.246.5.70 -u davidehs -p
I found if the firewall on the server machine is running, I can not connect the mysql server from my laptop. If I stop the firewall first, and the do the connection, I can access the mysql. how to keep the firewall running and allow the remote mysql incoming requests?

i am using liferay5.2(mysql included in the download pack) on fedora. while liferay is working fine but i cannot connect to mysql.i am getting the error
[ [root@localhost ~]# ln -s /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock /tmp [root@localhost ~]# /etc/init.d/mysqld start Timeout error occurred trying to start MySQL Daemon.
[code]....
i didnt find the mysql.sock file in the location /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock. i cannot find the portal-ext.properties file also to make intial settings.
I have install mysql on my fedora12. My different mysql server is located in us. I want to check health status and hits per seconds everything. Is it possible with mysql-administrator command.
now a these days i am connect through ssh and excuting below command
#mytop mysql -u root -p <passwd>
In my mysql db i have added the userip & passwd (allowed the privileages for that ip)
If i use mysql-administrator i am getting below error
MySQL Error Nr. 2003 Can't connect to MySQL server on '66.98.152.64' (111)
I set up a servber on my local machine, & also PHp - Both working fine.I'm trying to load up MYSQL i have installed it, & *can* start/stop the server. however if I do anything else with it, I get this error :-
Quote:
root@gordon-desktop:~# sudo mysqladmin -u root -h localhost password MYPASSWORD mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed error: 'Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)'
Query :-
1) How do I know MYSQL is actually active ? (apart from the message it says that its statrted (or stopped).
2) Is there a way to
a) Find out the usernames that are recorded on the MYSQL server ? b) set / RESET the 'root' username (I know MYSQL root user is different to PC root user) c) anything else I can do on the PHP / website code to see if MYSQL is working
(as yet, no tables / databases etc have been set up - as I can't get past this error message - I get the same error when setting up a database.)
Ps I did allow my usermname (when logged in to ubuntu) to edit / create files in the /usr/www/ directory (but it is still OWNED by 'root' - that directory)
