GregL83 Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Yes, provide the location of the mysql server (domainB) in your database connection function. i.e. $connection = mysql_connect('domain_location','username','password'); assuming your using php.

Zane Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 of course...that's the proper way of connecting and all... but on the mysql side of it all....you need to ALLOW domain A to connect.. or else you'll get an error saying something like error connection...using password YES are you using phpmyadmin or are you using the mysql shell to acces your database?

revraz Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Many Hosts do not allow outside access to the Database, you should really check with your Host first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delight Posted October 3, 2008 Author Share Posted October 3, 2008 Thanks all, I'll give this a try. To answer all the questions: I'm using php, phpmyadmin and mysql. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
