I can't telnet MySQL on my localhost. MySQL is up and running and works fine with Apache-SSL/PHP/MySQL server but I can't connect by telnet:
telnet 127.0.0.1 3306
Trying 127.0.0.1...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection timed out
The same for localhost
telnet localhost 3306
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Trying ::1...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection timed out
Netstat confirms MySQL is running on 3306 port:
netstat -alpent | grep 3306
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:3306 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 105 522804419 17231/mysqld

I can connect with -h localhost:
mysql -h localhost -u root -p
Enter password:

Bye
But I can't connect with -h 127.0.0.1:
mysql -h 127.0.0.1 -u root -p
Enter password:
ERROR 2003 (HY000): Can't connect to MySQL server on '127.0.0.1' (110)
And yet I have put bind-address 127.0.01, vi /etc/mysql/my.cnf: ...
# Instead of skip-networking the default is now to listen only on
# localhost which is more compatible and is not less secure.
#bind-address = localhost
bind-address = 127.0.0.1
And I restarted MySQL:
/etc/init.d/mysql restart
Rather than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d, use the service(8)
utility, e.g. service mysql restart
Since the script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an
Upstart job, you may also use the stop(8) and then start(8) utilities,
e.g. stop mysql ; start mysql. The restart(8) utility is also available.
mysql stop/waiting
mysql start/running, process 17464
IPTables rules are empty:
iptables -L
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
So I don't know what to check and Postfix can't connect to MySQL. Does anyone know what I should check ?
Actually, I can't connect to any service from the server:
telnet 127.0.0.1 80
Trying 127.0.0.1...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection timed out
telnet 127.0.0.1 443
Trying 127.0.0.1...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection timed out
My /etc/hosts file:
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 mail.mydomain.com
::1 localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
