Topic: connecting to MySQL remotely

[Andy Poole]

hi

I am trying to connect to MySQL on my e-smith box from my windows box (across the net).

I am using mysqldump.exe as I want to shcedule a daily backup  but the mySQLdump.exe programs says it can't connect...

is there some kind of firewall blocking my access?

Thanks

Hello andy,

First question dos it work internal (on the local network) ok.

If not gif more right's to the user how can do is in de PHPMyadmin module.

Suggestion:

Make allways a separate user how can's only connect from a specified Ip adres so your securiti stay's on a high level.

It works on a standard SME 5.5 box on my location to connect from outside to the MySql database.

Goodluck

Johan
