MySQL Remote Access not working after following all the instructions I've found

Forums: 

I've tried a bunch of trial and error and read a lot of posts on this and still can't get this to work by connecting from my computer or another web server.

Can anyone help me troubleshoot this? Is there any way I can see if port 3306 is even accepting connections from some command line command?

DBI connect failed : Access denied for user ''@'localhost' to database 'mysql'

Forums: 

Hi Forum,

I've mistakenly changed MYSQL root user name from "root" to "xyz" using COMMAND :

update mysql.user set user='xyz' where user='root'; flush privileges;

But after exiting from MySql when I tried to reopen command prompt of MySql I could not enter using the previous password and whenevr I was trying to use mysql database it was showing : Access denied for user ''@'localhost' to database 'mysql'

I have also tried with changing root password and finally reinstalled the mysql but same thing is happening till now.

Proftpd Won't Start After Update

Forums: 

I logged into Webmin yesterday to be greeted by a message that said there was an update for a few modules, including proftpd. I applied the updates and since then proftpd refuses to start.

I tried looking in the logs for errors, but /var/log/proftpd is empty.

I also tried removing proftpd and reinstalling, but the same thing happens. Running command service proftpd start returns Starting proftpd: [ OK ], but the server isn't running.

Webmin Cron GUI vs search

Forums: 

Hello

I use Webmin for Cron jobs and the GUI provided, but after about 100 scheduled cron jobs, the GUI changes to a search box.

Does anyone know of a GUI to emulate the original because the search box makes managing many crons, very difficult and time consuming.

Thanks Graham

System and server status

Can you not use the if else statements for sms messages? When saving the e-mail template I don't receive any errors, but upon checking the e-mail template again I find that the sms message only has the first line of my if else statement. (as listed below)

(What I have entered and saved in e-mail and SMS boxes)

${IF-DOWN}
Network traffic on ${HOST} has exceeded 50mbps
${ELSE-DOWN}
Network traffic on $(HOST) is no longer above 50mbps.
${ENDIF-DOWN}

(What gets saved in my sms box)

webmin disable and enable firewall csf question

Forums: 

Hello

I would like to know please if I disables webmin /etc/webmin/stop would that also stop the CSF firewall and all the setting in that firewall?

Do I need webmin running for the CSF firewall settings to be active/running and protecting my server? Or is it safe to disable webmin when I am not using it and only enable webmin when I need to configure the CSF firewall.

I am using webmin along with Kloxo as a GUI for the CSF firewall to protect my server.

Thank you all in advance.
