Mysql with non local access
Hi, I want to use the mysql plug-in with a not-local application. How should I configure my readyNas/Mysql to accept the external connection ? PhpMyadmin is already installed Thanks, Vincnet...
You'll need to edit the my.cnf file located in etc/mysql via ssh and change the line that reads "bind-address = 127.0.0.1" and alter the IP address to "0.0.0.0" then stop and restart the MySQL add-on. It's not so much an "add-on" as much as a "switch" to turn on the already built-in MySQL server when apps like Photos II are either not installed or Not running. It's like the MySQLON add-on for OS4 from what I can see of it.
However you had make pretty sure you have access via phpMyAdmin secured down pretty tight, as the database has root users with no passwords. They are only local users, but if somebody was able to hack in and change that somehow...
You can't password protect those root accounts as NTGR haven't changed the behaviour of these accounts with regards their use with Photos II (and possibly other built-in add-ons) from OS4. If you specify a password for the root account, Photos II will stop working. And Possibly others services like Anti-Virus too.
