I'd suspect mysqladmin's using the unix socket, and ignoring your "-P" option; try adding the option "--protocol=TCP". You may well find a similar issue with phpmyadmin - there's a configuration option: $cfgServers[...]['connect_type'] = 'tcp'; which might solve this. hth, Kevin -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
