MYSQL :: Remote Access

MySQL Remote Backups - No Access To FTP Or Remote Command Line
I have a mySQL database located on a remote host's server. I would
like to schedule a task on my local Windows computer to retrieve a
backup/dump of this remote database.

I have contacted my host, and they indicated that the server is only
open to the Internet via mySQL. Therefore, even if I did have access
to that server's command line (which I don't) to create dumps via
mysqldump, I would not be able to retrieve via FTP.

Does anybody have any ideas as to how I can generate backup files from
my local computer through a local command-line interface? I have done
it through a GUI (DBTools), but I would like to have it done via DOS
batch, so that I can schedule it. Does anyone know of any mysql backup
GUIs with command line switches? Or can somebody recommend an
alternate means of getting a local backup?

Remote Access
I have a MySQL server running on my iMAC and am able to access my databases locally. What steps do I have to do to allow access from a remote PC thru TCP/IP ? The manuals say it can be done but don't specify what is involved.

Remote Access
I have:

Computer A, my computer, through which I can pretty much install anything I'd like.
Computer B, my webserver, a computer on the network that I installed mySQL, and that uses IIS for its server. It also uses Windows, and not UNIX/Linux.

Anyways. I'm trying to setup MySQL so that I can use it remotely from Computer A, either using it directly with something like SSH or Dreamweaver/PHP. However... I'm completely new at this.

Remote Access
I am facing problem when i try to connect to a remote mysql server using mysql_connect command.

It give error " Can't connect to MySQL server on {IP} (10061) in"

I have even added one user and gave it permission to connect from any host (%) and allowed DB rights too.
I have checked that mysql variable -skip_networking is also off.
There was fire wall installed on mysql server but that has been removed but still problem is not solved.

Remote Access Through SSH Tunnel
I've got a MySQL database being hosted by a company. The site has
phpMyAdmin for external administration, but I'd like to use a program
like EMS MySQL manager, or maybe even an OBDC connection for certain
things. But I can't get the SSH tunnel to work.

I can access the account using an SSH logon through putty, and once in,
I can access MySQL using the terminal. But I can't get port forwarding
to work.

If MySQL is working with phpMyAdmin, shouldn't it be able to work with
an SSH tunnel? Code:

Using MS Access With Remote MySQL
I'm trying to use MS Access in order to list, edit, and add data to a MySQL database located on a remote server. I can get the tables to link (via ODBC), and display OK in an MS Access form. However, I can't seem to edit/change any of the fields. Suggestions?

Setup Remote Access
How would you allow remote database connections on MySQL 3.23.58?

MySQL Remote Access
I want to be able to access my MySQL database that I installed on linux, from my Windows 2000 machine. I will be using the database from various programs such as VB 6.0, MS Access, etc.
I have installed MyODBC on both my linux machine and my Windows 2000 machine. I want to be able to access the database through this MyODBC connection on my Windows machine but I'm not sure how to go about setting this up on both machines. I'm am looking for some advice as to how to set this up or if anyone can point me to some good information on the web

Connect To Remote MySql Using MS Access Via IP
I have a MySql database on a remote webserver. I used phpMyAdmin to set everything up. I would like to use MS Access as the front-end to link to the tables in the remote MySql database so I can edit, add, delete data using an Access form.

My phpMyAdmin is on a server that has an IP address (like 12.34.56.78:8585). So I tried setting up a DSN on my home system using the same IP address and MyODBC Connector. When I put in the IP as server name, and the user/pass info, when I click test it just sits there for a long time and then I get an error:

[MySQL][ODBC 3.51 Driver]Can't connect to MySQL server on '12.34.56.78' (10060)

Remote Access To My Mysql Server
I ran grant all privileges on *.* to 'root'@'%';

I've got two questions... firstly, when I try to get to it from another machine on the local network it tells me access denied...

secondly, I'm on a soho network with a NAT router... what port/ports do I set up to access the mysql server from the outside?

Cannot Remote Access On Non-default Port
On MySQL server running on UNIX machine I changed the default port 3306 to 40006. From Windows PC I ran this command: mysql -p -u user1 -h mysqltest:40006 testdatabase

It does not work. It only works if I use the default port 3306.
How can I remote access on non-default port?

Enable Root Access From Remote Machines?
I just setup MySQL5 on a Windows 2003 dedicated box and one of the last questions in the Instance Configuration Wizard had a check box labeled: "Enable Root Access From Remote Machines".

I did some research but could not figure out what that meant. I log on to my box using Remote Desktop so if I don't check this will I able able to have root access?

I am guessing this is a security issue. I want my box to be as safe as I can.

Here is how I have the MySQL config file setup (from the Instance Configuration wizard):

Remote Access To MYSQL Server Host
I am trying to access a mysql database on my old host (I'm doing a CMS migration to something on a different server.) My hosting company doesn't have a CLUE what I'm talking about when I say MYSQL server host (I'm not even sure I do). They keep telling me it's 'localhost'. I can access both dbs through their prospective phpmyadmins.

Is there any way I can find out what the host server is? I would just export the db and then import it into the other one, but all attempts at that have failed.

How Do I Enable Remote Access To MySQL Database Server
I want to connect to my mysql server which is seperate on an external server but i dont know how to enable remote access to MySQL database. The mysql server is on xp and running mysql 5.

Local Host On Windows Allowing Remote Access
We have MySQL running on a server in the US (we are in NZ) the response times to queries can vary, so i have installed MySQL on my Windows XP PC. i can transfer data across overnight using a scheduled task, this allows me to query yesterdays data much quicker - it is used for trends so up to date in not important - the problem i have is this

I want others within the company to be able to connect to my PC to run their own queries against my data. i do not know how to set up the ODBC connections on their PCs to 'talk' to mine. I can set them up to connect to the US with no problem but not to my PC.

Remote Access Not Working: Error 1251 Client Does Not Support Authentication Protocol Requested By Server
I'm trying to set up my MySQL database for remote access. I've never been a DB admin so this is all mostly new to me. I am binding to my public IP address, and I have created a new user with the following grant commands run from the mysql command line on the server:

mysql> grant all privileges on prs_data.* to 'username'@'%' identified by 'change';
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
mysql> grant all privileges on prs_data.* to 'username'@'localhost' identified by 'change';
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.01 sec)

When I try to connect remotely from another host, here's what happens:

Can Access Remotely, Cna't Access Locally (seems Backwards)
I have a database that I am trying to connect to a schema called lportal4_1_2 in mysql 4.1.13a (provided by my hosting company) runnning in fedora. I am trying to get a container to connect to it and was having problems. Since I didn't want to pollute the problem with the container, I wrote a small (hack) program that does the connection.

Here is the problem:
I can connect from my desktop (winxp) using a Java command line application, Mysql Administrator and mysql query browser and everything works fine. When I run the same Java command line app (using the exact same driver) I get the Access denied for user error that follows:
----

Can't Access Created DB's Via PHP, Though Can Access Them Via PhpMyAdmin
I can create databases via mysql-shell and edit them. These then do show
in phpMyAdmin and are editable.

BUT, if I try to access these db's via a normal php-script (i.e.
$ergebnis=mysql__list_dbs($server)), it only shows me one database, the
test-db.
(To show them, I use a for-loop which counts the elements in $ergebnis
from 0 to the number smaller than mysql_num_rows($server) and then prints
the string.)

Get Access Denied Msg..how Can I "reset" Mysql Access
I downloaded the windows installation last night -
mysql-4.0.16-win.zip - unzipped it to c:ms, double clicked on setup.exe and
nothing.... nothing happened at all....

Bad download I though, so tried the same thing with the .zip of
version 3.25.55 I had - the downlaod that I used once before, before my
recent re-format - so I knew that it did work once, but this time, same
problem. The setup.exe just doesn't do anything...

I really want to learn mySQL, but if I can't even install the thing,
it doesn't look good!

Remote Connection
How do i connect to a remote (webserver) Mysql from the windows command line?

Remote Control
I have MySQL running on a desktop computer that I log into through logmein.com and this is not the best solution. How can I connect remotely to use the MySQL Command Line Client on my desktop so I don't have to wait so long for each line to appear? I should also point out that this computer is on my LAN, so I shouldn't have to configure the router.

One problem I am running into right now is that when I try to make a new table, I keep getting error 1064 (42000) and I'm not sure why because everything looks correct. Code:

Accessing Remote DB
i want to inser data into a remote dB. I cant for the life of me get it to connect. The mysql_connect syntax is straightforward. Ive tried the ip number and domain name, the user name and pass are correct. No firewall probs.

Always an error lilke this:
"Can't connect to MySQL server on '130.220.33.14' (10054)"

I use phpdev to run the files at home. Is there maybe a config I have to change on it to access remotely?

Remote Mysql
I'm having a weird problem and hours of googling could not help me solve this, so maybe someone here can help me out? I'm by no means experienced with mysql, it just worked all the time so I didnt have to bother looking into it too much :)

We have 2 servers for our forum, one "powerful" server used as webserver where phpBB runs on, and one server that just holds the database (we got that after we found that code & database on 1 server caused overload).

So far, everything went fine for nearly a year now and I had nothing to do with all of it, all I had to do back then was edit a variable on my.cnf on the database-server I think, and then it worked.

Now the webserver's power unit broke, and after that the database had all these little errors on several tables, so I went to phpMyAdmin, marked them all and clicked "repair" - probably/like/surely a stupid move [my excuse: i was tired & in a rush as I did this from work] as the tables were rather big in size (several hundred mb). As expected, the forums didnt work during that, all I got was the typical phpBB "could not connect to database"-message. This went on for ages without anything happening, the tables just stayed "in use" (I could still connect to phpMyAdmin afterall).

After it wouldnt work, I restarted mysql, i restarted the server - those tables still stayed in use, so I flushed the whole database and installed a backup into another database, changed forum-configuration to read from the new db and thought things would be fine, but they weren't.

It just won't connect to mysql it seems, at first I thought some table must be still corrupted, but after some trying out, I realized that the database/forums DO work when being addressed as "localhost" from phpBB-files running on the database-server. When I change the configuration to connect via the IP of the server instead, it will give me the "Could not connect"-error just as it does when I try to connect from the webserver.

I checked netstat on the db-server to see if the the mysql-port was open and being listened to, and got this:
Active Internet connections (servers and established)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:3306 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN

this does mean it's theoretically working, right?

I also tried to grant all priviledges again on mysql, but didnt change anything either - do you have any idea what I could do? This is driving me nuts (especially as I can see the forums running fine when connected to by localhost).

As I said - this happened suddenly and has been working before for nearly a year, that's what puzzles me most, I didnt change anything on that server mysql runs on!

Remote Connection

Remote OUTFILE
I have three servers (S01,S02,S03)... my aplication PHP run in S01 and there are two databases in S02 and S03.

I make one file and I'm using LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE INTO tbl_xxx to load file in S01 to S02.

My problem is:

I need export data from S03 to S01 using only mysql.
I'm using SELECT OUTFILE, but this statment is only local.

is it possible?

Remote SQL Connection
I am trying to access my database on the server with a MYSQL front-end
client on my computer (not the server). I have the correct username,
password and database name. I tried every possible hostname, even its ip
addy, but each time, I am rejected by the server, which says something
like - access denied. I can access the database in my php code with
'localhost', but that's of course because the code is actually running on
the server. Is there anything I have to specify on the MYSQL server in order
to gain access to it remotely?

Remote MySql
I have make a php application and i want to use mysql for the database in different computer, the computer ip is 10.20.37.77 and mysql port 3306, the password = "root"

$MySQL_Host = "10.20.37.77";
$MySQL_Passwd = "root" ;
$MySQL_DB = "squid";
$db = mysql_connect( $MySQL_Host , $MySQL_Username , $MySQL_Passwd ) ;

the error :
Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Access denied for user 'root'@'xeon' (using password: NO) in D:Program

if the php application use mysql in localhost it work
$MySQL_Username = "root";
$MySQL_Host = "localhost";
$MySQL_Passwd = "" ;
$MySQL_DB = "squid";
$db = mysql_connect( $MySQL_Host , $MySQL_Username , $MySQL_Passwd ) ;

Remote Connection
First of all hey guys i'm new to this forum and hope to get some help on getting me fully started with mySQL.

Alrite i've really briefly used mySQL with java but only with a local database.

I need help on how to create remote connections via the internet to mySQL. Basically i've been trying to test out connecting via the internet from my home machine where mySQL is installed, i've tried this through windows command line and doing:

mysql -h myip -u myuser -p

also tried with --port=3306

but it doesn't work. Does the fact that i'm behind a router and have a different local ip matter? Or does the fact that i'm doing this from the machine that holds the mySQL database but i'm using the internet IP address to make it go through the internet. I've already opened up the port in my routers firewall.

I wanted to create a java application that can access a mySQL database over the internet so I thought i'd try out remote connections on windows command line first.

I'm very new to mySQL so any help in the right direction and/or what i'm doing wrong with some explanation will help me give a better understanding.

Remote Connect
I've installed MySQL 4.1.12 on my server, I can connect from the local
machine with navicat, but
not from a remote machine. I checked with 'nedstat' and there is something
listening on port 3306.

I have tried several users and settings. What i want is to set a user name
(:support) and that this user
can connect remotely with navicat to the mysql server.
How would I do this? Or what am I doing wrong?

Cannot Log In To Remote Server
I am trying to set up a replication server and cannot get past an error trying to log on to the master from the slave. I have tried everything I can think of and am at a loss as to what else I can check/do. The error on the slave server is:

Error: 'Host 'myslave.mydomain.com' is not allowed to connect to this MySQL server' errno: 1130 retry-time: 60 retries: 86400

The error itself is confusing. Since this is the slave log, the reference to "this MySQL server" does not make sense. I am not (should not be) trying to connect to "this MySQL server" but rather the remote master server. I am guessing that the error is just poorly worded.

I have a user on the master with the host name 'myslave.mydomain.com'. What else is needed to allow that user to connect from the slave host? I tried changing the host name to '%' but that didn't help either. Can someone point me in the right direction?

MyODBC And Remote
I'm conected to server and my app works just fine, and I was connecting to MySQL over ODBC (my app is running on winXP)! It was good while I was using only USERNAME with blank PASSWORD in MySQL! But when I put password, I can't connect, and of course my USER/PASS combination is OK! I try to search for known MySQL bug in this version but with no results!

Remote Login
When logging into mysql, mysql appends '@hostname' to whatever the username you provide is. Example:

> mysql -h hostname -u dsb

'dsb' becomes 'dsb@hostname.com'

Does anyone know how to turn that off so that the exact username specified is used.

Remote Connection
just that. and DONOT point me to any documentation ive been through it all mysql will NOT let me give any host persmissions it keeps giving me the syntax crap and to check the menual when i did it just like the friggen manual said

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES TO db.*
-> root@'host';

and its really pissing me off.
im runing mysql 4.1.8 any ideas?
i also put the host in my hosts file and still nogo

Remote Connecting
The admin on my work server won't give me access to the mysql control panel. So what I'm thinking is using my yahoo mysql database instead.
What would I replace for localhost?

$oConn = mysql_connect("localhost", "user", "pass");

Second question, would yahoo allow remote connects?
Third question, will the queries run slowly when remote connecting?

Remote Connection
I'm having a problem connecting to mysql on a remote host because it truncates my user name (dbm.stetsonband.org):

Is there something I need to set in my mysql prefs somewhere?

Connecting To A Remote DB
I am running some website on fedora with VMWARE and my main OS is windows server 2003. I am trying to use db on the windows server but whenever I try to connect to it from fedora I get bug messages.

"Warning ! [2003] - Can't connect to MySQL server on 'ep038' (13)
Server unavailable. Is your MySQL server started ?"

I am sure that the server is started and running on port 3306.
I am sure of the hostname.
I can ping the hostname from fedora so it IS accessible.
I am sure of the login and password (I set them myself).
The weird thing is that when I run a tcpdump, apparently fedora doesnt even try to connect to the remote host database.

Remote Sql Server
I am using PHP on my site and I wanted to play around with myqsql.
Rather than just going ahead and upgrading my account @ a monthly cost for testing, I thought that I would just add mysql on my pc and connect to it from my remotely hosted site.
I opened port 3306 on my firewall.
I can connect to the database but it will not allow me to select the database

Windows Remote Gui

Remote Site.
i jus completed my first database site and ready to upload. but need to know 2 things.
1. where exactly is the database? ive got my site in the inetpub.. is the database in here C:Program FilesMySQLMySQL Server 4.1 ?
2. how do i upload it along with the site? is there just 1 file to upload or is there lots... ?

Remote DB Connection
I am trying to install SAM Broadcaster and it requires tables to be installed on a mysql database remotely. I am not able to connect to the database for some reason and I am wondering if this is maybe because the MySQL server I am trying to connect to has remote connection protection on (if there is such a thing). Is there a way of determining this and is there also a way if this exists to allow remote connections to add tables to a mysql database?

Connecting To Remote Database
I'm using MAMP on a MacBook Pro. The only database connection I've been able to write that doesn't return an error message is on the database "test" that's installed by default:

$link = mysql_connect ("localhost" , "USERNAME", "") or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db ("test", $link) or die(mysql_error());
...where USERNAME is a username I created and accidentally applied to all my databases. Anyway, I assumed I could use the database "test," since I can at least connect to it.

But my queries all display error messages, even after I copy the tables they reference into the database test. Finally, I wrote a very simple query:

$Geog = mysql_fetch_assoc(mysql_query("SELECT * FROM gw_geog_gw"));
But I still get the following error message:

Quote:

Warning: mysql_fetch_assoc(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /Users/MyName/Sites/Geobop/Files/World.php on line 7

Does that mean I'm not even connected to the database "test"?
