MYSQL :: Remote Connection Error

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

ERROR 1045 (00000): Access denied for user: 'dbm.stetsonband.@d199-126-224-237.abhsia.telus.net' (Using password: YES)

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

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?

Remote Connection Through Php Script
I have a mysql server running at the office on <officeip>:3306

I have a site hosted by a provider at domain.it

I have granted privileges for existing user office as office@domain.it and office@domainip

I wrote a php script using the parameters:

$host='<officeip>'

$user=office

$pass='<thepass>'

$db='<mydb>'

to connect to the office db from the website.

I get a 'Lost connection' error (no query to execute just connecting so no time-out problem)

What do you believe is wrong with it?

Remote Connection To MySQL
Trying to connect to a MySQL server from my desktop.

Specs:

My Desktop - XP OS - MySQL Administrator.
Server - Red Hat Linus OS - MySQL version 4.x

From the MySQL I am getting an error code 2003 "Can't connect to MySQL server (10060)". I am using the default port 3006.

Any suggestions? What additional information do you need to help me out here?

Remote Connection To Sql Server
I've set the remote website, dotbooks.org (207.44.234.74) as an "Access Host" in cPanel.

I'm trying to connect to wiishare.org (70.86.206.218)

The connection string I'm trying is:

<?php

$user = "username";
$password = "password";
$database = "database";

$link = mysql_connect("70.86.206.218", $user, $password);
mysql_select_db($database, $link);
echo mysql_errno($link) . ": " . mysql_error($link). "
";
?>

The string works with localhost, but not like this. It just times out
Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Lost connection to MySQL server during query in connect.php on line 7 Any suggestions?

MySql Remote Connection
I'm having problems in trying to remote connect to a database and it's driving me nuts.

Database is on server, trying to connect to it through internet using MySQL Control Center with following settings:

Name: Lucca
HostName: IP address of server
UserName: Beeps
Password: """"
Port: 3306

I've made sure that the firewall will allow entry and can successfully ping the server, but I get the following error:

Error 2003: Can't connect to MySQL server on "ip" (10060)

Establishing A Remote Connection
I'm trying to enable remote connections to my mysql database. I'm getting a
java.sql.SQLException: Unable to connect to any hosts due to exception: java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused

error when I try establish a jdbc connection. I'm supplying the correct user/pass information.

A quick google tells me that I need to enable connections from places other than localhost.
okay, so I do a:

mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* to raghav@'%' identified by 'blah';

As can be seen from the table below, i've tried doing it for anonymous accounts as well, when all of this didn't work. I've flushed privileges, and restarted the mysql server. no luck. Code:

Remote Root Connection
I am new here and I have a problem with configuring mysql. How can I set up mysql to allow remote root connections from a specific IP range?? Is this possible at all?

Remote MySQL Connection Slow
I have a website on a dedicated server that was running really slow, so I got another, much faster server and transferred the MySQL database to this server. However, now when I connect to the faster server's database using the slower server's PHP web pages, the overall page loads much slower than when the database was on the slower server.

Any ideas why this would be? Right now the host name is just an IP address. Does it need an actual resolved hostname to be fast? MySQL on the faster server is supposedly tweaked for fast service (my-huge.cnf).

Remote MySQL Connection Fails
I have two XP computers, with the same version of MySQL on each. I
have the same database structure and data on each. Each computer has
the same user name, and each MySQL database has the same user names.
Locally on each, I can connect and work with the data. I can ping
each computer from the other computer. My problem is that when I try
to connect from one computer to the other I get the following error:
Host 'XXX.XXX.XX.XX' is not allowed to connect to this MySQL server.
This happens on both computers. I can not find the reason for the
error.

Remote Connection To Mysql Database Using JDBC?
I am trying to set up OpenOffice Base to connect to a remote os x server with mysql on it.

It has the default mySQL JDBC driver class set to com.mysql.jdbc.Driver

It also asks for server URL, should this be the ip address?
Port number? Default is set to 3306.

When I set the class it says that the JDBC driver could not be loaded.

I would like to know how to connect to a remote MySQL server using an ADO connection object, for example from Delphi.

Query Browser When Opened Via Remote Desktop Connection
I have a MySQL database that I set up by running a couple of .sql scripts.

The .sql files are fine and not corrupted.

But they are located on our server in headoffice.  When I try to open them in MySQL Query Browser (also installed on the headoffice server) via Remote Desktop Connection, the Query Browser opens a new script tab but does not display anything (i.e. no text in the scipt tab).

Also, I'm sure this is related, I can enter a query in to the execute box and execute it, but you cannot see the text as it is being typed.  However it is there as when I click the Execute button the query runs fine.

Any ideas why I am not able to see any entered text in the Query Browser window?  I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Query Browser a few times, but this has not cured the problem.

Making A Command Line Connection To A Remote Mysql Server?

Remote Connection To MySQL DB Server From Client With No MySQL DB
I have MySQL server running on a Solaris machine. I have a Perl tool that is run on multiple operating systems (Linux, Solaris, MKS on windows, CYGWIN on windows). I would like to post to the MySQL database on the Solaris machine from this script when it is run on the different local clients. All these clients share a single network share (available via Samba on windows).

Is there a Perl module that I can install in the network share that I can use to connect remotely to the server DB?

Connection Error
I am currently running two servers one with Tomcat and the other with MySQL. They are both in different Windows domains and on different network segments.

I have the following users on the MySQL server:
user@localhost
user@%

I am getting a VERRRY SLOOOW connection between the two machines so I thought I'd add a user just for the Tomcat server. The IP address of the Tomcat server is 172.22.0.1 so naturally the user would be 'user@172.22.0.1' When I added this user I got the following error

Access denied for user: 'user@172.22.0.1' (Using password: YES)

Any ideas on what I can do to remedy the situation?

Connection Error
I've a db named "controlloscatole" on my PC which has IP: 192.168.50.195
I've created a user which hasn't generic privileges but he has
only SELECT privilege to "controlloscatole":

GRANT USAGE ON * . * TO "rep_ammin"@ "%"IDENTIFIED BY "***************"WITH MAX_QUERIES_PER_HOUR 0 MAX_CONNECTIONS_PER_HOUR 0 MAX_UPDATES_PER_HOUR 0 ;

REVOKE ALL PRIVILEGES ON `controlloscatole` . * FROM "rep_ammin"@ "%";
REVOKE GRANT OPTION ON `controlloscatole` . * FROM "rep_ammin"@ "%";
GRANT SELECT ON `controlloscatole` . * TO "rep_ammin"@ "%";

If i try to access to controlloscatole as rep_ammin:
* via MysqlCC
*host: localhostall is ok.
*host: 192.168.50.195ERROR 2003: Can't connect on
192.168.50.195 (10061)
* via phpmyadmin
*http://localhost/mysql/all is ok
*http://192.168.50.195/mysql/ALL IS OK!!

*host: 192.168.50.195ERROR 2003: Can't connect on

So if i try to connect to my db as rep_ammin from my PC i've no problem.
On the contrary nobody in my office can do that... via Access (ODBC) or MysqlCC.

Connection Error
There seems to be a problem with the MySQL server, sorry for the inconvenience.
So I start the MYSql server by the command:
mysqld --skip-grant-tables
and I can get in fine from the webside but once i get it out of this mode i can't hit it from the webside BUT i can hit it with MYSql GUI tools to setup users/db/grants/etc.
All idea why and what i need to do?

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:

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?

How To Solve This Connection Error?
I have this connection error in my windows application which is using .net connector. The error is "Unable to read data from the transport connection: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host" ? Can some one please help me on this?

MySQL Connection Error
I am trying to put together this PHP script using the database for IPB. I just can't get this one part of the script to work. It is supposed to access the members database, and it just can't find the members database.

I get the error
Quote:
Unable to view external table, ipf_members. Table 'username_ipb.ipf_members' doesn't exist.
username would be my MySQL username, but I won't post that. I know the username works, because all other MySQL connections using that same username work.

I took the piece of code that wasn't working out of the file and tried putting it in its own little test file, and it still wouldn't work.

PHP

<?php$wgIPB_MySQL_Host = 'sql1.byethost7.com' // ipB MySQL Host Name.$wgIPB_MySQL_Username = 'username' // ipB MySQL Username.$wgIPB_MySQL_Password = 'k1tens' // ipB MySQL Password.$wgIPB_MySQL_Database = 'username_ipb' // ipB MySQL Database Name.$wgIPB_UserTB = 'ipf_members' // Name of your IPB user table. (i.e. ipb_members)$wgIPB_UserConvergeTB = 'ibf_members_converge' // Name of your IPB users converge table (i.e. ibp_members_converge)$wgIPB_GroupsTB = 'ibf_groups' // Name of your IPB groups table. (i.e. ipb_groups)$wgIPB_User_GroupTB = 'ibf_groups' // Name of your IPB user_group table. (i.e. ipb_groups)$username = "chris"; $connection = mysql_connect($GLOBALS['wgIPB_MySQL_Host'],$GLOBALS['wgIPB_MySQL_Username'],$GLOBALS['wgIPB_MySQL_Password']) or die ("Couldn't connect to server"); $db = mysql_select_db($GLOBALS['wgIPB_MySQL_Database'],$connection) or die ("Couldn't select database"); $getuserinfo = "SELECT `name` FROM " . $GLOBALS['wgIPB_UserTB'] . " WHERE `name` = "" . $username . """; // Query Database. $userResult = mysql_query($getuserinfo) or die("Unable to view external table " . $GLOBALS['wgIPB_UserTB'] . " " . mysql_error()); $userinfo = mysql_fetch_array($userResult); echo $userinfo['name'];?>

I normally would use the $GLOBAL['variable'] if the variable was defined in the same file like the code above, but I just wanted to see if I could get this block of code to work.

I know for a fact that ibf_members exists. Here is a screenshot from phpMyAdmin.

I just don't know how to fix this problem! The table exists. I have tried repairing the table. I have tried reinstalling IPB. Nothing works!

Connection Error - Errno 4
I have a clients-server application that is using (the server) mysql.

Time to time, I'm getting the error :

Can't connect to MySQL server on 'x.x.x.x' (4) (mysql_errno = 2003).

Mysql is 4.0.18. It's on a debian with 2.4.20.

4 is so the errno, wich here is :
[color=blue]
>Error code 4: Interrupted system call[/color]

Is there a way to prevent mysql from beeing interrupted in its connection phase ?

Ado Connection String Error Through Vb
I'm using mysql-5.0.1-alpha-snapshot-win & VB 6.0

  I'm having trouble connecting to the database server over a lan.

  When I use the following connection string from the server it works fine. -

adoCon.ConnectionString = "Driver={MySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver};SERVER=localhost;DATABASE=MyDatabase;uid=root;"

  When I use the the following connection string from another computer I get this error -

MySQL Connection Error
I have my web server on a Linux machine.

Apache 2.0, MySQL 5 and PHP 5

I have a utility (phpmaker) that helps me administer my databases. When I went to set it up I get this connection error.

Where do I enable so this ip (host) is allowed?

Connection Error Err Nr 1045
I am trying to set up MySQL 4.1 on windows 2003 web server. I have installed mysql and when configuring i get the Err Nr 1045 Access denied for user root@local host (using password: No) when trying to apply the security settings. I have running a linksys rooter. I have configured the rooter to allow access to port 3306 and forwarded to the web server.

Connection Error (2013) Using TCP/IP
When I try to connect to a remote MySQL server with following command:
>mysql -h myhost.com -u mysql -p

I'll occasionally get an error message saying:
ERROR 2013 (HY000): Lost connection to MySQL server at 'reading authorization packet', system error: 104

This is quite often when I using a remote client, but never happens if I use the local client on the MySQL server. Is this a known bug or anyone knows a solution to this problem? Code:

MySQL Connection Error
Using MySQL server config wizard, I created a database 'polls' and set passwd as 'admin'. I used the following PHP code to connect this db:

$host = "localhost:3036";
$user = "polls";
$pass = "admin";

$conn = mysql_connect($host, $user, $pass) or die ("Unable to connect!");
mysql_select_db($user) or die ("Unable to select database!");

and I got the following error:

Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Access denied for user 'polls'@'localhost' (using password: YES) in C:ServerApache2 htdocsPollsuser.php on line 17 Unable to connect!

and BTW, what is the difference between the user name and db name? when I try to connect the db from DOS, it just prompted for password only, not username.

Dreamweaver Connection Error
I have set ODBC connection up through the data source administrator and get a connection just fine. However, in Dreamweaver I now get the 400 bad request error.

ODBC Connection Error
I am trying to configure an ODBC connection to a MySQL database, 5.0.12 Beta-nt. We testing the connection I get the following error;

[MySQL][ODBC 3.51 Driver]Lost connection to MySQL server during query

If I try to connect via cmd prompt the following message is displayed;

ERROR 2013 (HY000) : Lost connection to MySQL server during query

The strange thing is if I disable Norton Internet Security all works fine. The Windows Xp firewall is turned off and Norton has been configured to allow MySQL.

Host Connection Error
I am getting an error, when I try to connect to the MySQL Administrator, I put in the computer IP and my username/password, but when I try to connect I get an error. The error reads...
Error: Host "X.X.X.X" is not allowed to connect to...
and then the rest of the error i can't read, it's been cut off. I did ping the host and it was fine, so there is not a network problem, or so i think...
If someone could please tell me what is going on that wold be great.

Mysql Tcp Connection Error
The configuration of MySQL on my linux box is somehow set that I cannot use TCP to connect to it
When I try to logon from the CLi/telnet, it says:
Quote: [root@chrislinux chris]# mysql
ERROR 1045 (00000): Access denied for user: 'root@localhost' (Using password: NO)

If I try to use a connection within a program like Zend IDE, it says:
Quote: Server connection failure during transaction. Due to underlying exception: 'null, message from server: "Host chris.linux is not allowed to connect to this MySQL server".
I did have skip-networking uncommented but that just produced a pipe error. I have restarted mysql everytime I have made a change to my.cnf as well.
Can anyone point me where to look to possibly find the cause of this?
Thanks for any help anyone can give.

Error Establishing A Database Connection
I'm trying to use MySQL on my computer to design and test a WordPress blog locally, but I keep getting the message, "Error establishing a database connection." This isn't limited to WordPress; if I run a simple MySQL test script I get the same problem.

I'm using MySQL 4.0.21 (I installed this old version after getting the same results with a couple of newer versions, so I don't think this is the problem). I'm on OS X 10.4.8.

Using MySQL Administrator, I'm able to connect to the server as root. I created my wordpress schema and assigned all available connection privileges to root on localhost, [computername].local, and %.

I'm used to creating a database and assigning a user to it using cPanel. I suspect the solution is simple and I'm overlooking something obvious because of my newbie status when it comes to MySQL.

Client Side Connection Error
I'm getting this error message:

MySQL Version: 4.1.8-nt via TCP/IP
Client: 5.0.11
OS: Windows XP

I believe that I have the latest client. What should I do and how should I ensure that none of the visitors to my site has the same problem?
