connecting to server

Recommended Posts

I am able to use localhost to create my MySql databases and add data etc.  However, when I try to use the command prompt to connect to the server version (my ISP host), I don't know how to do that.  I tried SQLyog and was able to connect to the server, but can't do it using the cmd prompt.  When in SQLyog for host, I typed "mysql.domainname.com" (without the quotes and using my real domain name).  When I try that in mysql it does not work.  For example, "mysql -h mysql.domainname.com, -u username, -p password;".  For the host name in the example I have tried "http://my.... ",  "www.my...", http://www.my...", plus a few others, but to no avail.  Any ideas?  Do I need to contact my ISP to find out what is correct?

Forgot to add that I can use PHPmyadmin and get to localhost, but not the server.  How do I do that?
