Can’t connect to MySQL [local] server

Are you frustrated trying to connect to MySQL? Well, I was, when I updated MySQL server from 5.1 to 5.6 couple of days ago. Updating was easy and MySQL service started without hitch but when i try to connect using MySQL administrator or Workbench or plain vanilla MySQL command-line, nothing worked. I got error after errors:

“d:\mysql\bin>mysql
ERROR 2013 (HY000): Lost connection to MySQL server at ‘reading initial communication packet’, system error: 0

In Window Event Viewer:

Error in accept: No error

After hours of going through logs  and configuration files (my.ini & my.cnf), nothing helped. I gave up. Next day, with fresh mind, I did some googling and reading MySQL manual ( Server System Variables), i figure out i don’t have bind-address in my config file (my.ini). I tried adding

bind-address=127.0.0.1 to  my.ini file

[mysqld]
user = mysql
port = 3306
bind-address = 127.0.0.1

Restart the mysql service

And It WORKED!

Future of iPhone - iPhone 5??

Wondering how next iPhone would look like. Rumour has it would be more sleeker and taller than the current iPhone4s with dimensions of 125mm by 58.5mm by 7.4mm , according to iLounge. That’se 10mm (1/3 inch) taller that the iPhone 4S, and significantly thinner than the iPhone 4S by 2mm.



Contrary to reports of a teardrop shape, this report says there’s going to be a flat back, and part of it will be made of futuristic material known as LiquidMetal. The new phone is expected to be made partially from Gorilla Glass 2 which will probably be stronger and thinner than today’s iPhones.
Another believable prediction confirming past report is Apple will introduce its new Dock Connector on the new phone which is smaller, rounded and less than half its predecessor’s size. That should fit the thinner form nicely.

I remember back those early days of web development job. there was no way you could build if you don't know some programming language like Perl/PHP/ASP. I simply learn all these just to create forms.. but later found I could do lot more using it.. well that's another story..

Now you don't have to know HTML or PHP or any other web language to build the web forms. Any one can build web form using web services like Wufoo or Jotform
