Thanks, I stopped the firewall but couldn't find the following file /etc/mysql/my.cnf my installation folder is /usr/local/mysql but there is no my.cnf there also. I used mysql-max-3.23.54a-unknown-linux-sparc.tar.gz for installation. I am trying remote for converting old access db to mysql, if you know alternate way doing it under linux it will also work for me, thanks for the help by the way i am a programmer not a linux admin, guru etc. so forgive me if I am writing stupid things, busying the list, anyway thanks for the help, ulash
