By the way how would I figure out what IP Address the MYSQL Server is using in a VM. I installed it via the command line directions.
Thanks
What VM provider are you using? I am going to assume VirtualBox.
What flavor of Linux are you running? I am going to assume one of the Debian flavors.
Jump on a command line and type:
Code:
ps aux | grep mysql
It should return a bunch of processes. If it doesn't it means the daemon isn't started, start it with: (as root)
Code:
system mysqld start
Type:
Code:
ifconfig
Should see something like this:
Code:
eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 08:00:27:BE:AE:5F
inet addr:192.168.33.10 Bcast:192.168.33.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
inet6 addr: fe80::a00:27ff:febe:ae5f/64 Scope:Link
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:534 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0

collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
RX bytes:24692 (24.1 KiB) TX bytes:710 (710.0 b)
That means the ip address of you VM is 192.168.33.10, mysql is running on port 3306 by default.
You won't be able to see it from outside your computer because that is not addressed to the outside world. If you want to see it from the outside (which I don't think you do) let me know and I will show you how.
