To test whether the server is connectable from the windows PC, open up a command prompt, and type:<br />
<br />
&gt;telnet ww.xx.yy.zz 3306<br />
<br />
If you get a response similar to:<br />
<br />
(<br />
&nbsp;3.23.58 9&quot;=LG^&amp;A&amp;#9787;<br />
<br />
Connection to host lost.<br />
<br />
C:\tmp&gt;<br />
<br />
Then it is possible to connect to the mySQL server, and the network and firewall settings are OK.<br />

My company had a power outage a couple of weeks ago. &nbsp;After restarting the Linux Server, I noticed that any time I attempt to run certain MySQL applications, I receive a Runtime Error '-2147467259 (80004005) [mySQL] [ODBC 3.5.1 Driver] Can't connect to MySQL Server on MySQL' on the PC attempting to running the job. &nbsp;<br />

Can anyone tell me how to restart ODBC on a Linux Server? &nbsp;Please HELP this non-Linux guy.<br />

Starting ODBC Drivers in Linux

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux. Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.

Linux

A Linux distribution is an operating system made as a software collection based on the Linux kernel and, often, on a package management system and are available for a variety of systems. A typical Linux distribution comprises a Linux kernel, GNU tools and libraries, additional software, documentation, a window system (the most common being the X Window System), a window manager, and a desktop environment. Most Linux systems are open-source software made available both as compiled binaries and in source code form, allowing modifications to the original software. Over three hundred distributions are in active development, including commercially backed distributions (such as Fedora, openSUSE and Ubuntu) and community-driven distributions (such as Debian, Slackware, Gentoo and Arch Linux).
