Naming a mysql server
Posted: Tue Jul 24, 2007 7:35 pm
Does anyone know what the proper search term would be for giving your mysql server a name? What I am looking to do specifically is create several servers on various machines that will be used for dev/test/prod. I want them to be named servers so we can connect to them from any other machine on the network. So...
On our dev machine right now, I can connect to localhost only. I want to be able to connect to mysql-dev.domain.com from anywhere in our network. I also want to be able to connect to mysql-prod.domain.com. Does anyone know what this is called or know what I should be searching for?
I am not ready to ask you how to do it as I have not even been able to search for it yet. All help is, as always, appreciated.
