coldfission Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 Our mysql server is currently only letting us access it through a localhost connection. I need to be able to access it over the internet with other applications. Do i need to change something in the config file to do this? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coldfission Posted July 17, 2007 Author Share Posted July 17, 2007 Query failed: Can't connect to MySQL server on... At one time i was able to connect to the server remotely with this username and password i am using for localhost. Then, some settings were changed or something and now i can't get in remotely.
