I checked the configuration of MySQL in /etc/mysql/my.cnf and found that by default MySQL is having “skip-networking” enabled.
SQLyog supports connection thorough TCP/IP, so you need to comment this line. You may find more details here.
The other configuration you need to change is in TCPWrappers. I found that TCPWrappers is blocking all connections originating from
the applications that are running through wine.
I edited the file “/etc/hosts.deny” and commented out the default access list rule as shown below.
# ALL:ALL
Next I included that statement in “/etc/hosts.allow” as shown below.
ALL:ALL
I hope this will solve your problem.
Please let us know if you have any questions or if we can be of further assistance on this.
Warm Regards
