Mysql remote connections

[Skorch]

I'm running mysql on xampp on my VPS, while my webhost site is connecting to the database on the vps. I've already tried enabling remote connections, but the webhost just doesn't want to connect. It says it has no permission.

http://viciousms.net/ is the webhost
it cant connect to my xampp mysql db

Does your MySQL user have external permissions setup? Something like 'user'@'%'

You'll also need to make sure the following line isn't in your MySQL config file:

Code: Select all

skip-networking

And double check that you have a firewall rule allowing incoming connections on TCP port 3306
