How do do you modify bind-address in my.cnf without SSH ?
How do I modify the my.cnf file and specifically the property “bind-address = 0.0.0.0 “in order allow connections to MySQL from another PC, without having to SSH into the box and edit the file using ...
Thanks mdgm, I think I will just enable the SSH and be done with it.
I can't remember how i enabled the SSH on my previous Readnas Duo but i am sure i will be able to find out through this forum.
Just in case things go wrong, is there a system restore without wiping all data on the readynas 516? Without checking i remember on my old NAS there were two options, one for restoring to factory and the other for restoring configuration files only (OS files).
Failing that are there system files I should be backing up on the nas to a usb stick which can then be used in case of system failure to restore files ?
Your help is much appricated.
On OS6, SSH is a built-in service under System > Settings > Services.
On legacy devices it is enabled by installing the EnableRootSSH add-on.
There is still the OS Re-install option, but this doesn't wipe the OS. All this does is reset some settings (e.g. network adapter settings and the admin password) and install the OS over the top of itself. So it may do nothing to help with a SSH mishap and may even make the problem worse.
If you filled the OS partition and the system couldn't be accessed via SSH then the problem would need to be looked at via a low-level debug mode.
