Question

I\'m trying to configure a web server (Debian 7). I followed this tutorial. I\'m renting my server thanks to gandi.net service. And i have now apache2, mysql, php5 up and runnin

Answer 1

1. locate my.cnf
2. vi < copy the path >
   for e.g. ==> vi /usr/local/etc/my.cnf
3. Now you see and compare below if you find difference then update

# Default Homebrew MySQL server config  
[mysqld]
# Only allow connections from localhost  
bind-address = 0.0.0.0

Now press button => esc and :wq (vi commands)

Restart the MySQL =>

sudo /usr/local/mysql/support-files/mysql.server stop
sudo /usr/local/mysql/support-files/mysql.server start

Now good to go...
