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.

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'

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?

How To Connect To A Remote MySQL Server Using An ADO Connection?

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 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.

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 ?

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

Connect To Remote Database(MySQL)

Connect To Remote Mysql Through Terminal...help

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)

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

MySQL Slow To Connect To Remote Database
I was running a PHP/MySQL web site with the database on the local web server. I needed to move the database off the webserver (located in the firewall DMZ) and onto its own machine (behind the firewall on our private network)

Now when I run my web site it goes really slow. I ran mysql from the command line on the web server and connected through to the database machine behind the firewall using
webserver:/# mysql -h 192.168.1.7 -u www-data -p

After I enter the password, it takes around 5-7s before I see the mysql> prompt.

Is mysql trying to do reverse dns on the IP address and timing out? I added the machine details to /etc/hosts so it would be recognized but no improvement. Or do I have something wrong with my mysql configuration?

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 '',

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

Remote Connection To MySQL DB Server From Client With No MySQL DB

Can't Connect To MySQL Server
I've installed MySQL 4.1.8-win on my win XP system as guided by the installer. Most of the setup was default. I'm running the server on the local machine. But everytime I try to connect to the server through the command prompt or the MySQL administrator program, I'm faced with the following error:

ERROR 2003 (HY000): Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061)

I can't find anything wrong going. Previously I used MySQL 31.23.53, but never faced this sort of problem.

One thing can go wrong is that the port number being wrong. By default it's probably 3306. I'm not sure what else would fit in there.

I just can't connect to the MySQL server installed in my pC from remote hosts.
I can over my LAN. I have create a user with '%' for the host.

the result is this:

Warning: mysql_pconnect(): Access denied for user: 'roberto@10.8.8.4' (Using password: YES)

Can't Connect To Mysql Server
I am setting up MySQL on a development box. I have set it up and can
connect from localhost, but I cannot connect from another computer on
the network. I have narrowed down the problem quite a bit, but can't
quite figure it out still.

I am getting MySQL Error Number 2003 "Can't connect to MySQL server on
'server'. I know that the server is there because I can ping it. I am
also running a webserver from that computer and I am able to access
that just fine. I know that it is not a rights issue because if you
try to connect with a user that doesn't have rights, MySQL will respond
"Access denied for user: 'user@host' (Using password: YES)".

I checked on the host machine and check that the following are true:
- mysqld.exe is in the process list (in the task manager)
- MySQL is running on port 3306 (the one I'm trying to access it from)
