Answer 1

Comment the line below in file /etc/mysql/my.cnf

# bind-address = 127.0.0.1

And add (any)host permission to login(maybe root) on mysql server.

Hard way: you need insert in mysql.host table...

Easy way: use MySQL Administrator->User Administration->Choose user->(Right mouse click)Add host->Select "Any host"

Finally restart server:

/etc/init.d/mysql restart

PS: Default install aptitude

mysql version: MySQL 5.1.57-1~dotdeb.0

Linux Debian 6 Squeeze
