Error Connecting Via Remote Mysql From My Computer

[slash]

hello!

 

i have a program that must be running for the website to work 100 % and i can only be able to do it if i have it on from my home computer. to the program to run it must be connected to the mysql database(which is on the host).

 

i asked a friend and he said that use Remote mySQL and enter your IP and then try again. it didnt work... what am im doing wrong..

 

 

## MySQL Configuration

db.hostname=localhost

db.port=3306

db.username=slash_****

db.password=****

db.name=slash_****

 

should i do something in my computer too to get it work or what?

"Failed to open connection for database, exception message: Unable to connect to any of the specified MySQL hosts."

Did you add the domain (or IP) of the machine your are connecting FROM to cPanel?

You can also use '%' in there to allow everyone to connect.

 

Edit: I'm a bit late i guess. The wiki covers all of this.
