MYSQL :: Configuring A Database On A Remote Server

Backup/Restore Mysql Database From Remote Server To Local Pc
Im trying to download mysql database "dbproducts1" which is residing in my webhost's server (Linux). From telnet i backed up using "mysqldump -u -p dbproducts1 > dbproducts1.sql"

Then i downloaded this file via ftp to my local pc(WinXP). Now on my local pc to restore database i went to command prompt and i did following:

mysql -u -p dbproducts1 < dbproducts1.sql

I got following error:

ERROR 1064 (42000) at line 380: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the
manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use

near '-workshop (
title varchar(250) NOT NULL default '',
decription longtext NOT ' at line 1

I opened the phpmyadmin and found that dbproducts1 database was restored but with only few tables i.e. not all tables in the db was restored.

Can somebody please help me to backup/restore this database. I checked the mysql server version and found following:

server version: 5.0.24a-community in my local winxp pc
server version: 3.23.36 in my webhost's server (Linux)

How Can I "see" A Table In A Database On A Remote MySQL Server After Creating It
I used the following SQL to create a new table in a database on
a remote MySQL server by copying one already there. I know the
table exists SOMEWHERE in cyberspace. I can read its data, write
to it, delete from it. But I cannot see it. The only way I know it
exists is by running this SQL from Access 97 pass through query:

SELECT ALL new_tbl.name FROM new_tbl

The database resides on a MySQL server that was created with
a single table (named test) in it for testing purposes. I ran the
following SQL to create another copy of the table in the same
database named: new_tbl

CREATE TABLE new_tbl SELECT * FROM test;

I cannot see the new table in the Access 97 database window
under the Tables Tab. Anybody know how to overcome this?

Its a severe drawback to programming efforts not to KNOW what
tables are in your database.

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?

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

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

MySQLimport To Remote Server
I am running mysql on my windows machine, and I am trying to use mysqlimport to import a text file onto a remote server into an existing table. The error I am getting is that access is denied for user 'Robert_Davis'@'%' (using password=yes), when using table: mytable

Connect To Remote Server
I am very new at this. I installed MySQL and PHP on my Hard drive. I can connect to MySQL through localhost on my hard drive. We have a server at work at a remote location. He just installed MySQL and gave me a password on root. As far as I know there are no databases created. I need to connect to the remote server and create a new user and database.

I've downloaded Secure CRT but don't understand how to use it. I entered my ip addresss in a new session and it seems to connect but then it says session fails.

I put a test script up and just get an error message. Should this script at least not give me an error message. Should I contact the person in charge of the server?

<?

/**
* Connect to the mysql database.
*/
$conn = mysql_connect("localhost", "root", "password") or die(mysql_error());

?>

Connecting To A Remote Server
not 100% sure which forum this should go in.. if it is in the wrong forum i am sorry.

i have just got my ubuntu box working as a server at home with dynamic dns. i have still got my website on another server. i have taken all my DB;s across to my server and want the old server to update my new one so there is only one set of data to deal with.

my issue is how do i do this? so i started with started with a simple file that connects to ponywars.com with user name and password. Then realized that i should add the user in with external hosts. i did this in phpmyadmin with user name, host being *.* and setting the password and giving it ALL access to make sure i not missed something.

but when i ran this from the old server it just hang for ages then said:

Warning: mysql_connect(): Lost connection to MySQL server during query in /home/ghoxmfjz/public_html/test.php on line 7
cant conect to ponywars.com

so i tried it the other way around to connect to happygolucky.me.uk and get the script to run. this worked fine. so i can only think its a number of things.

i tested to see if my ubuntu box was listening on 3306 which it seemed to be.

i think i have added the user in correctly but not 100% sure on that one, seemed to have.

is the php page understanding how to connect to dynamic dns, cant see why not as the rest of the site works, ssh works, vpn works. as i understand it i have set up a dmz which forwards it everything to the server.

sorry i have not given more examples etc not sure what people need to help, so any all helps suggestions, flames etc are all welcome.

Connect To Remote Server
I have created a database in a remote host using MySQL 5.0. I created tables using the control panel of the host. I accessed the tables several times using the same procedure.
Recently, I downloaded MySQL Admin and tried to connect to the remote server. Nothing happens. It just froze there without any message or what. Is there a secret way of doing this? I can connect to a remote host in a local network but when it comes to using the internet via a router I always encounter this same kind of problem.

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?

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.

Problem Selecting DB On Remote Server (I Use Cpanel)
I'm having problems connecting to my a mysql db on a remote server.

Essentially, when I try to select the db..
mysql_select_db ("db_music") or die(mysql_error());
.. I get the "Access denied for user.." line.

However, I am sure all my info is correct. I've also added my ISP into the list of allowed mysql hosts.

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.

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)

Could Not Connect To The Database, Please Recheck The Settings You Specified. Also Make Sure That A Database With The Name You Specified Already Exists On The Database Server. PhpAdsNew Will Not Create The Database For You, You Must Create It Manually
The error message I get above is the same everytime when trying to install phpAdsnew. I have tried everything. I am hosted through yahoo! and have actually succesfully installed scripts before even though I know nothing about it. Now that I have a "auto-install", it does not work. Yahoo! also offers php-nuke with the auto-install where you just click a few buttons, and I get a similar error stating that it can not conect to the database.

Please can anyone help me and tell me what I am doing wrong?

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"?

Triggers To A Remote Database
We make use of a PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System) and
system to store DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communication in Medicine)
images (like CT scans, MR images etc.) in our Oncology Center. This PACS
system uses mysql as it's native database, in which it stores certain
data as date and time of the examination, it uses InnoDB tables.

We are building another application around it, which will use data from
the PACS tables and will hold additional data in a seperate database in
it's own tables.

Every study has it's own unique identifier which is stored in the PACS
database. Additional data is stored in the additional database, under
the same unique identifier to be able to keep track of the data and link
it to each other.

Now I would like to know if it is possible to add a trigger to the PACS
database which will delete the related information in the additional
database if a record in the PACS database is dropped. This trigger will
have to delete the records in the additional tables before dropping the
data in it's own database, so we can maintain a more compact database
and don't store data which we cannot link to the PACS system anymore.

Remote Database Issue
I am trying to setup Joomla with the following setup.

Web server 192.168.99.80-82 Joomla is specifically at 192.168.99.82
MySQL server 192.168.99.90

I used MySQL Administrator to setup user account which I will call test. Then I right clicked the user and selected Add host from which user can connect. I then typed in 192.168.99.82. I had issues so I also added .80.

I then created a database called Joomla and then gave user test full rights to this database. I also opened port 3306 on software firewall. Then I shut off firewall.

Tried to install Joomla, but I get error when connecting to database.

I loaded MySQL Administrator on web server and I am able to connect to MySQL.

Connecting To Remote Database
I'm passing in the ip address of the server, my userid and password, but I get back my userid appended with my local machine name (or maybe it's the local domain, not sure) and it fails to authenticate? Is there any way to override this appending of domain?

Remote Table In A Database
is it possible to create remote virtual tables in mysql? By that I mean
if it is possible to define a table, which actually resides on a remote
mysql server, but which can be accessed and addressed as if the table
would be on the local database.

My intention is to move one table to a remote host, but to be able to
address the table as if it was still on the same machine.

So for example:

SELECT m.header, m.body, m.from, m.to FROM users u, messages m WHERE
u.login=m.login;

would still work, even though the table "users" resides in the database
"moon" on a different host, than the table "message", which resides on
the localhost in the database "alltables".

The problem I'm trying to solve is: I have to webapplications, which
both have a table, which stores login information. Those tables have to
be combined into one and have to be put on one of the hosts only.

One of the application will access the remote user table for logins.
Since many of the SELECTS of this application contain joins like the
example above I'm looking for a way in which I do not have to modify
the selects but can move the login table to a different machine.

Remote Database Updating
I am working on an internet enabled sensor device project. I have a small microcontroller device that is connected to a sensor device. I want this device to dial the ISP and post its readings each day. I would like to know if anyone might have any suggestions on how this could be done.

Once the unit logs onto the server how might I code it to access the data area and post its reading. Also can this even be done. I mean does the microcontroller have to have a special database driver to access the remote database?
