Is MySQL listening on port 3306?

Some distributions include the "--skip-networking" option on MySQL startup, which leaves MySQL only listening on a local socket. ispCP needs MySQL to listen on a network port.

hm, either -skip-networking or bind-address=127.0.0.1 do IMHO the same...

mysql must listen on localhost - the external IP is not a must.

They actually are different. Giving --skip-networking (just skip-networking in my.cnf) has MySQL not use any IP address. It only opens a local socket. Using bind-address does cause MySQL to listen on a port on a specific IP.

Indeed, having it only bind to localhost is fine and will work fine. However, skip-networking will not work. The first step in debugging this issue is making sure MySQL is listening on a port.
