After days of struggling with the 2013 error which no one seems to know how to fix. I decided to install a 3.xx version of mysql, and then a new 4.0.15 version as well from binary this time. (even tried the RPM and src versions)
Installation is easy Mysql Server is up
I then try to connect to the server from a remote location and get ERROR 1130: Host 'xxx.yyy.zzz' is not t allowed to connect to this MySQL server which is normal since i did not create a user yet
I do this: GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO stew@'%' IDENTIFIED BY '123' WITH GRANT OPTION; flush privileges;
and I get this again when i try to connect using mysql -h the_host_name -u stew -p
ERROR 2013: Lost connection to MySQL server during query
In other words, the server was not able to connect the first time because it did not have permission, but the second time it did, and i get this lousy error again.
However, I am able to do the same command and connect from my XP workstation where mysql client is installed. so I have no clue why it is not working from the server where I really need it to work.
I am getting really desperate after 3 weeks of this same error. Can you please help
thank you
