Alright, so I am having the problem off allowing external connections to my webserver. But whenever I go into the /etc/mysql/my.cnf it only shows me 21 lines and I cannot see the "bind-address" option in the my.cnf file let alone any other of the options. I don't know what information is required in order for you to tell me what I have done wrong but, can anyone help be with this small dilemma? Cheers, Panda .
I had this problem too on Ubuntu 16.04. I restarted my laptop and it worked normal... might be a 16.04 thing, it never happened on 14.04.
I agree it's annoying, I got 2 more errors followed by this one, and it basically didn't load my connections to databases and so on. I guess backing up those files somewhere form time to time could be useful. Did you try the Ubuntu forums to see if there's an actual fix/ideas on how to fix it? I suppose their forums would be a more appropriate place to look for solution to this.
Yeah I'll hit it up on the Ubuntu forums too, ofc going back to 14.04 on my web server it's really a fuss as I just started configuring this node today but I am disappointed that I didn't work out as planned though xD. Thanks for your help guys <3.
