I got two Debian 6 servers - one for web and one for the database..

How can I connect through the local area network?

On both servers I have permanently changed the hostnames

/etc/hostname
/etc/hosts

web => web-server
db => db-server

In the privileges in mysql I have set the root user to accept requests from web-server (instead of localhost) and from the web-server I connect to db-server

in my.cnf I have escaped the following line:

# bind-address      = 127.0.0.1

error

Warning: mysqli::mysqli(): (HY000/2005): Unknown MySQL server host 'db-server' (1)
