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 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!

Mysql Remote Synchronization
I need to do a two way synchronization between my web server and a laptop. The laptop is located in eastern africa and does not always have an internet connection. The web server needs to be the master, (located in the U.S.) and the laptop needs to be the slave.

Whenever the web server makes changes the laptop needs to be updated and visa-versa. Does anyone know of program or some code that could help me with this? If so is there a way to save the code so the client (on the laptop) could dial-up and press a 'Synchronize' button and have the code run?

Connect To Mysql Remote
I want to access my mysql server remote, I found that by default --skip-networking is on (Salckware - /etc/rc.d/rc.mysqld in /etc/my.cnf it is commented). So I deceide to remove it after that mysql doesn't want to start. So I try to run it "manual". I've run those 2 command:

(1)
/usr/bin/mysqld_safe --datadir=/var/lib/mysql
--pid-file=/var/run/mysql/mysql.pid &

This gives me:
Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /var/lib/mysql
STOPPING server from pid file /var/run/mysql/mysql.pid
060822 21:24:17 mysqld ended

(2)
/usr/bin/mysqld_safe --datadir=/var/lib/mysql --pid-file=/var/run/mysql/mysql.pid --skip-networking &
This works perfect, but only with local connection, no remote connections :/

Any ideas ?

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?

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)

Connect To Remote Mysql
I had mysql working locally with no prob, I just got my hosting, login to cpanel, mysql add a db, add a user, try to connect to the db on my hosting server via my local mysql command line
cd mysql
cd bin
mysql -h xxxxxx -u username
I end up with username@something, access denied, I am behind firewall (these days, who doesn't). I think the username being appended with @something is the root cause of access denying, but I couldn't find a way to get around it

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

from another windows box using ODBC?

Accessing Remote MySQL Database
Is it possible to access remote MySQL databases?

I manage several sites and I will soon be building a tool that can track all of them, and it would be really convenient if I could somehow access all of the databases from one remote site.

Connect To Remote Database(MySQL)
is there some sort of setting I need to turn on where I can access the database from another server. So instead of using "localhost" I can use the actual server IP address.

And just for future reference, is this how you set up a application server connecting to a database server?

Connecting To Remote MySQL Problem
I set up a linux server for Apache, PHP and MySQL last night.

A problem remains. I can't connect to MYSQL with MySQL Administrator running on another machine. The error says I cannot connect 'hostnamt' of the machine I am on.

I can connect via command line on the linux server, and I have added entries in the user table specifying host as '*' with the account I am trying to use.

I flushed privileges and even rebooted the machine.

Is there some global setting that I must change to allow remote connections?

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).

Connect To Remote Mysql Through Terminal...help
Is it possible to telnet or ssh to my paid webhost's mysql through the terminal on mac os x without installing mysql locally? (using the terminal to control mysql ). I really don't want to install it locally if I can avoid it as I wont be using my computer as a server. If so how?

Connecting To Remote Mysql Using Mysqladmin
I think Idid this before but cannot remember what i did. I want to use mysql admin to connect to remote mysql server as localhost so I can set server side features without having to be on the mysql server itself. I remember something in the way of "sip networking" option or something like this.

MySQL Max Connections Remote And Local
My website runs on two servers. One is mean't for PHP and the other is the database MySQL. Whenever a request is made, the PHP attempts to connect to the MySQL via a remove host variable in the mysql_pconnect() function. This works fine, however when it comes down to having lots of connections in the my.cnf file, which one do I edit?

max_connections = 1000

Now do I set this in the MySQL only, or do I set it in the PHP server as well?

Remote MySQL Connections, Still Not Working
I've read, and done all the tutorials, forum posts, and comments I could find regarding setting up a mysql server access for remote connections, but I still seem to have problems. I have a LAMP server running behind a closed router connection. A dynamic DNS is masking the connection, and I have the appropriate ports open for HTTP, SSH, VNC, FTP, and I thought MySQL (3306). But for some reason I still cannot get MySQL to connect from a foreign host.

The I have port forwarding (3306) to the correct system behind the router, and I can access the server just fine via http/ftp. The MySQL server is happily running PHP MyAdmin with the localhost connection too. I've set a (actually a couple now) user to have the ip access of "%", and granted all permissions to that user, flushed the permissions, even restarted the server. I still can't get the remote connection to work.

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 ODBC Connections To MYSQL
I have a requirement to do some standard table work with existing online survey software (PHP based- using MYSQL). I would like to test the ability to do this work from desktop clients such as access or open office.
I have set up an ODBC connection on my machine with appropriate passwords etc. When I run the test in the WinXP ODBC diaglog, it is says that connection is succesfull.

However, when I try to use the same DSN in ACCESS or the database component of Open Office, it is that it is unable to make the connection. For example in ACCESS, trying to link tables, the message comes that the ODBC call fails.]

In OPEN OFFICE when I do the test connection, I get "ACCESS DENIED" for user... which is the user account and password that I use in the web based projects.

Connecting To A Remote MySQL Server
I havn't done this before and i'm not sure how to do it. I have another computer on a LAN that is running a mysql server and is the machine that is also running the intranet server which i am working on. What i want to know is how to connect to this server from my MySQL console so i can administer the databases without having to be in the main machine.

I thought it would be as simple as using the IP address but this doesn't seem to do it. Can i connect annonymously like i can from the host or do i have to have a user account setup?

MySQL Administrator On A Remote Machine
On my internal network i have mysql running on a test/development webserver (windows), and im trying to use the GUI tool MySQL Administrator on another networked pc but it wont work. It keeps saying 'Error 1045 Access Denied....'

I can ping it fine, and MySQL Administrator GUI works on the server itself.

Accessing Remote Mysql Host
I need to access a remote mysql host from my server. All host permissions have been set but the server refuses to connect. I can use a different one and there is no problem. It just seems to be from one specific host that I can't get access.

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 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?

Connecting Remote Server In Mysql

Connect MYSQL From A Remote Location
I can connect to MYSQl via PHPmyadmin...only on the localhost. What do I need to do - to connnect, say from home or off the localhost?

MySQL ConnectorJ And Remote Machines
Let's say I have a MySQL 4.12 database, opened to the internet on
111.111.111.111 allowing all incoming and outgoing ports. I have a username
and password setup, which CAN connect to this database, from
222.222.222.222.

Also on 222.222.222.222, which is running Tomcat, I have a Java servlet,
called, say, servlet.class in WEB-INF/classes. servlet.class has permissions
755, as does WEB-INF/classes.

Additionally, I have on 222.222.222.222 under WEB-INF/lib
mysql-connector-java-3.1.7-bin.jar also with permissions 755.

The system (222.222.222.222) is running on Linux Kernel version
2.6.9-22.0.2.ELsmp. I am running Java 1.5.0_05. Bear in mind, the very same
parameters, from the same machine (222...) connect to the very same db
(111...) under php (so there is no firewall issue on 111...). Additionally,
if I run a MySQL DB (version 4.0.25) on 222... and connect to it (thus, on
'localhost') I can connect no problem. It is only when I go to connect to a
remote machine that I get the following stack trace: Code:

Remote ODBC Tables Via MySQL
I've been using MySQL as a db engine behind a PHP application, and it has worked very well so far. Now I need to access some data held in a remote Oracle database and the only access I'm likely to get is via ODBC.

I know the federated engine only works with MySQL, but is there a way of viewing these tables through MySQL? It would be much simpler (and more portable in the long run) to maintain an illusion for the app that it is looking at only one database. If there's no way to do this, will I need to set up a script that dumps data into the local database?

Connect To A Remote MySQL Server On The LAN
The MySQL setup on my WinXP machine runs fine with host localhost, username root, and my password. But I can't seem to access my databases from a different machine on my LAN. When I try to connect from another network PC , I always get:

MySQL Error No 2003
Cannot connect to MySQL server on 'remotehost' (10060)

All the settings in my ini seem correct. I've allowed TCP/IP connections. I know which port to specify. Did I forget to do something on the LAN to allow remote access? I've tried sharing the basedir and datadir folders. That didn't work.

I also tried using IPs instead of hostnames. Didn't work either.

When I try to ping the remote host (using MySQL Administrator), I just get a timeout error.

Cannot Connect To Remote Host MySQL
I'm trying to connect Mysql query browser from my PC (NT) to MySQL on a remote host. I always get the error message :-

"MySQL Error Number 2003"
"Can't connect to MySQL server on 'whatever.com' (10060)"

I've tried with Mysql control centre, and navicat, and they report the same error message.

I CAN connect from dreamweaver, but I really want some good GUI tools to administer the DB and data.there is phpMyAdmin on the remote site - but it bugs me.

Connecting To Remote MYSql Server
I want to connect to a remote mysql server from command line. I don't have a mysql client installed on my local machine from which i want to connect to my Data base server.

MySql 5 On Hoster's Remote Site
I set up an application using Flex, C# web services and MySql 5. On localhost the app works fine. No problems.

However, when I uploaded the site to our hosters, C# can't find MySql db. I followed all the same directory structures layout as on the original.

Using MySql Maestro as my tool I can connect to the remote MySql db.

Can't Connect To Remote MySQL Server
I am developing a site on a remote cPanel system and I am not able to connect to the MySQL database from my location. My application can connect to the server using localhost just fine.

I have ensured that the correct port is open in the firewall (the server responds to telnet on that port) and I have added our IP address as an access host in the MySQL area of the client's cPanel but I am still unable to connect.
The exact error message when I try to connect is:

Access denied for user: 'user@<my IP>' to database 'user_database'

Connect To A Remote MySQL Server
I need to connect to a remote mySQL server. I have the IP address, userID, and password. When I try using these from another computer I get an "access restricted" error. How do I get to this remote mySQL server?

Remote Connect To Mysql Server
My host says that I don't need to login to my server in order to connect to my mysql server. They say all I need to do is enter this command into a mysql client:

mysql -h xxx.xxx.131.240 -u User -p Database
Password

However, they don't want to mention any client to use to connect with.
What client can I use? Putty? Where do I enter that command?

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?

VB6 Controls Not Populating From Remote MySQL Database
I have created a VB6 app that connects to a web hosted MySQL database. I have created the connection string in my app and used the Port number required by the Web Host. All my data comes back to my VB forms when I run my app from my Win XP development machine, but here is my problem...

I have installed the app using InnoSetup wizard on a Win2K pc at SP4, and it connects successfully to the databases, but my textboxes, labels, comboboxes and datagrids show no data. For example, one of my forms has textboxes and a datagrid, and a statusbar. The textboxes and datagrid are bound to ADO controls which pass SQL statements to MySQL to create the recordset. The statusbar shows the RecordCount from the resulting recordset. The statusbar shows the correct recordset count, but the textboxes and datagrid are empty. This doesn't happen on my development machine.

In my installer, I have installed all the VB Runtime files to the target machines WindowsSystem32 directory, and have installed the OCX files the app uses to the application's directory.

I am at a complete loss to know why I can connect to the database, successfully open a recordset but not populate my forms' controls with the resulting data.

Insert Records To Remote Mysql Server
for a insert statement, there are two packets on the network between the client and the server. so, the packet's number will be double of the number of insert statement. that is rough.

I want there will be a few packet used for many many insert statement. Is there any way to make that true.

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.

MySQL Command Prompt / Remote Server
Is it possible for me to use the mySQL command prompt to create/manipulate a database on a remote server?

Local Remote Command Control For Mysql?
ok, My website is hosted remotely onto my Web Hosting company. and i want to control MySQL remotely or locally in my computer without using PHPMyAdmin.

I notice using PHPMyAdmin is very tiresome and also i'm thinking
if there is a good alternative for PHPMyadmin so that i don't need
to enter my CPANEL website everytime i do the work using PHPMyadmin.

I'm thinking perhaps just like Microsoft Express/Outlook functionality instead of opening my Yahoo emaail account they will be sending the incoming and outgoing messages into my email automatically. This are the features that i'm looking for as an alternative for PHPMyAdmin.

Connecting To Remote Database Via MySQL Administrator
I have used Sql Server and other databases extensively. I have the following questions.

1. I need to connect / manage a SQL database located on a remote web server runnin Linux. My workstation is running Windows XP. I understand that this is what MySQL Administrator is for. Is this correct?

2. Can I run both MySQL and SQL Server on my Windows XP machine?

3. What one book would be the most helpful to help me get a basic table setup?

Connecting To Mysql Using Phpmydmin From Remote Location
I just installed PHP 4.3.9, MySQL 4.0.2 and PHPMyAdmin 2.6.0-pl3 on our
intranet server (Win2k3 running IIS). I also have a similar setup on my
local machine (http://localhost/phpmyadmin).

Everything seems normal when I work on the server machine (also known
as web-nt with IP xxx.xxx.xx.xx), but when I try connecting to the
MySQL database on the server from my local machine
(http://web-nt/phpmyadmin), two things happen:

1. If I user 'localhost' in the phpmyadmin config file on the server,
it opens up properly but obviously all the images are looking at
http://localhost/phpmyadmin... etc, which is on my machine.

2. If I use the IP address on the config file, which seems to be the
better method, I get the following error: #1045 - Access denied for
user: 'root@web-nt.acorn.com' (Using password: YES)
