[Q] Remote

[ReltihVGT]

Hi all,

I have a hosting plan here (a hatchling package). I've just created a database and I want to connect to that database from another host (the host that contains *.php files). But I do not know what the servername (the domain name of the database server) is. Can anyone here help me?

Thank you very much!

PS: I must post here because my accout has not been activated yet.

PHP Code:

//    ****** MASTER DATABASE SERVER NAME AND PORT ******
//    This is the hostname or IP address and port of the database server.
//    If you are unsure of what to put here, leave the default values.
$config['MasterServer']['servername'] = 'what is my servername?';
$config['MasterServer']['port'] = 3306;

//    ****** MASTER DATABASE USERNAME & PASSWORD ******
//    This is the username and password you use to access MySQL.
//    These must be obtained through your webhost.
$config['MasterServer']['username'] = 'xxxxxxxxxx';
$config['MasterServer']['password'] = 'yyyyyyyy';

Use your domain name or the server's IP.

Remember also that you need to put the IP you're connecting *from* into the Remote MySQL access list in cPanel.

And if it still doesn't work, contact support to make sure their firewall is open.

Thank you! Now I can connect to my database remotely.
