[SOLVED] MySQL Server issues

Question

I just installed a fresh ArchLinux, restored a backup from an Ubuntu natty, everything works except my MySQL server connections.
I cannot connect with odbc or jdbc, I'm using the latest versions available:
$ pacman -Q mysql unixodbc myodbc jre
mysql 5.5.12-1
unixodbc 2.3.0-1
myodbc 5.1.8-1
jre 6u25-1
$ mysql -u mencargo -p
Server version: 5.5.12 Source distribution
mysql> use etlcontroltf;
Database changed
mysql>
$ cat /etc/odbcinst.ini
[MySQL]
Description = ODBC Driver for MySQL
Driver = /usr/lib/libmyodbc5.so
$ cat .odbc.ini
[MySQL]
Description = MySQL ODBC
Driver = MySQL
Server = localhost
Database = etlcontroltf
Port = 3306
Socket = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
$ isql MySQL -v
[01000][unixODBC][Driver Manager]Can't open lib '/usr/lib/libmyodbc5.so' : file not found
[ISQL]ERROR: Could not SQLConnect
$ lsd /usr/lib/libmyodbc5.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root 19 Mar 17 09:05 /usr/lib/libmyodbc5.so -> libmyodbc5-5.1.8.so
For JDBC I'm trying to use mysql-connector-java-5.1.16-bin.jar with DBvisualizer, getting:
Product:  DbVisualizer Free 7.1.5
Build:  #1590 (2011/02/24 17:23)
Java VM:  Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM

An error occurred while establishing the connection:
Long Message:
Communications link failure
The last packet sent successfully to the server was 0 milliseconds ago. The driver has not received any packets from the server.
Details:
   Type: com.mysql.jdbc.exceptions.jdbc4.CommunicationsException
   Error Code: 0
   SQL State: 08S01
A curious thing about the odbc is that the Arch guide suggests a /usr/lib/libodbcmyS.so file that is not present in my system, or any libodbcmySX.so nor libmyodbcSX.so.
Anyway, jdbc doesn't have anything to do with odbc, and it's also not working, so maybe it's my server config?
$ cat /etc/mysql/my.cnf
[client]
port = 3306
socket = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
[mysqld]
port = 3306
socket = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock

key_buffer_size = 64M
max_allowed_packet = 2M
table_open_cache = 64
sort_buffer_size = 1M
net_buffer_length = 512K
read_buffer_size = 2M
read_rnd_buffer_size = 1M
myisam_sort_buffer_size = 16M
bind-address = 127.0.0.1
server-id = 1

[myisamchk]
key_buffer_size = 32M
sort_buffer_size = 32M
read_buffer = 16M
write_buffer = 16M
Or is this version of the server broken?

Answer 1

The my.cnf code posted is the whole config, I don't have skip-networking.
$ telnet localhost 3306
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
Connection closed by foreign host.
$ netop
Active Internet connections (servers and established)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State PID/Program name
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:3306 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 1483/mysqld
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:3306 127.0.0.1:43098 TIME_WAIT -
The port seems open but I'm getting disconnected immediately.
Any thoughts?
