I recently completed my installation of OptigoldISP. Clients are running on WinXP or Win2k machines. Filemaker Pro server is running on Fedora 3. Filemaker Unlimited is running on Win2k. NetTools Version is 3.0. Here's the problem. Anytime I trigger an SQL action I get "ERR: Communication failure during handshake. Is there a server running on 172.30.0.14:3306?" There is a server running. Other applications access it just fine. No firewalls are running on the clients or server. I get the same results on all the clients. Any suggestions as to what I may have missed in the install or configuration? Adam Hardy Comnett Computer Services
What version of MySQL is running on that server? Are you able to access it from the client machine (outside of Optigold)?
Try turning on the debugger for it under My Stuff -> System Info Try to make the connection from within Optigold, then check the JavaCompanion Log file under your FileMaker Java Extensions folder and see if it yields anything useful.
I found the problem. I needed to set the password in MySQL using the OLD_PASSWORD option. Should have thought of it sooner. I had the same problem with my FreeRadius server. Thanks anyhow. Adam
