Hi I have installed mysql on a linux box connected to my win2000 PC and have installed mysqlyog on win2000 pc when I try and connect through mysqlyog I get the error "error no.2013 lost connection to server during query"

Is your Linux box running RedHat 8.0?

Try the advice here first:

If that doesn't work, there is a problem with your glibc libraries on your system:

Good posting Sleipnir214.

If I only found your post before, it would have saved me a lot of time as I swapped to Mandrake 9 in order to sort it out.
I will definitely keep it in mind for other server I administer.

Just one more question

[mysqld]
skip-innodb


What are the implications of this line my.cnf?
I hope it does not de-activate InnoDB support

I have been happy throughout my life in thinking that samba was I kind of dance; now I live with Linux and all I do is working.
