mysql remote connection

Post by s.dot »

I'm trying to connect from my computer, to a mysql server on my paid hosting

I use the IP address of my website as the server, but it says that user scott@my-ip-address.com isn't allowed access. How do I go about connecting correctly to a remote database?

unless you have admin/root access to the database (very doubtful) your host would need to allow you remote connection rights (also doubtful)
