Bind MySQL to IP when installing

Question

When I install Mysql using apt-get it binds to the localhost. I have to manually change the bind address. Is there a way I can set bind address at the time of install.

Answer 1

NO, You need to change that in in my.cnf after installation and then restart MySQL Server.

Answer 2

Binding to localhost is the default is for security.

If you want less secure configure you are required then reconfigure your my.cnf file manually.
