Can't connect to MySQL server
I am trying to setup an SQL database on my readynas RN516 to service multiple XBMC machines. I have installed mySQL server and phpmyadmin. I have created a user xbmc with full privileges and port forwarded port 3306 in my router.
But xbmc is unable to create a database - I get the error "Can't connect to MySQL server on '192.168.1.22' (10061)". I tried to telnet into the server on port 3306 and it is not open.
I tried to ssh into the server to change the "bind address" but once I log into root via putty and type in the command /etc/mysql/my.cnf and press "enter" and nothing happens.
Is someone please able to help.......thanks

Envoyé de mon iPhone en utilisant Tapatalk - Thanks super-poussin. I am not an expert user.
I have had all sorts of issues getting SQL up and running on my RN516. Somehow it works now but not all the time. After a firmware update or reboot MySQL server does not restart and I have to go into the app window move the switch to "on" but keep stopping for no reason the switch goes back to "off" on its own. Also sometimes I get app intialisation error
Am I supposed toedit the my.cnf file for bind address? I am unable to locate my.cnf file to edit it.
