Lo guys,

i have a small question!

i am running a  webserver with mysql.
Now i wanna make a external mysql server on anoter pc.
I transferd all the sql data to the new sql server.
i changed the configs for my website.
instead of localhost i used 192.168.1.xx

When i try to acces my website it says cannot find dbase.
all data is the same.
all users are the same..
am i missing something?

Thnx

Arno

Hello,

Does your external mysql server accept external connection to mysql???
You can check the connection to your mysql server with tools like mysqlfront or some things else...

You can't see that with phpmyadmin.
You can find that option in my.cnf file in /etc/

You have to create a user that can access server from anywhere or from specific IP adress.
Code: [Select]

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON databasename.* TO newuser@% IDENTIFIED BY 'password';

This is to allow the user "newuser" to access database "databasename" from anywhere.

Code: [Select]

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON databasename.* TO newuser@192.168.0.10 IDENTIFIED BY 'password';

This is to allow the user "newuser" to access database "databasename" from IP 192.168.0.10.

Regards.
