Connecting to remote database

[henri.bae]

Hello,

I've put a site which needs to connect to a remote database. I have all the credentials, the ip addr, and the port number. I'm using PEAR:B. From my local server (ubuntu, php 5.2.4, mysql 5.0.5) I have no problem connecting to the base. From the live site, however, it doesn't fly.

I can ping the database host's ip from my local setup but if I go to the cpanel's network tools and type in the same ip I get an "invalid zone" result.

Any ideas on that?

Hi Henri,

You will need to add the IP of your database host in allowed sql hosts from your cpanel control panel. You can locate this option from Databases >> Remote MySQL section of your cpanel control panel. Our server won't allow any remote database connection until and unless you allow the IP of remote database server from your cpanel control panel.

Thanks

I went to remote database and added the ip to the access keys. Still, it fails to connect. Even if I add the port. He's part of what it spits out:

DB_Error Object

The site his cfpn.fr. I have my own site at henribaeyens.com. Both hosted by eukhost. I have a subdomain (clients.henribaeyens.com, the access of which is protected) where I have uploaded the cfpn site preview for my client. Well, even from there, the connection to the remote database occurs flawlessly WITHOUT my having to change anything in databases | remote mysql

So what am I missing?

Hi Henri,

Please initiate a livechat session from eUKhost Helpdesk :: Shared Reseller VPS Dedicated Server Hosting Support and communicate with one of our technical support staff to get this sorted. We need to check the logs on server simultaneously when you attempt to connect to the remote mysql database, this is only possible when you contact us on livechat and allow us to check logs at the same time.

Hi Henri,

Our livechat is similar to Skype and you will like it once you try our livechat support.

You can directly start a chat from our homepage. Our technical team hasn't got Skype or any other messenger on their computers and they can communicate with customers on phone, livechat or helpdesk only.

well, the problem seems to be solved now: the connection succeeds.

I had no clue whence to access your livechat feature until I noticed that the home page banner was a link to it. That'll be for next time.


Thanks for the quick resolution of that matter.

Regards

try this..

Myconnection.ConnectionString = "Network Library=DBMSSOCN;" & _
"Data Source=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx,1433;" & _
"Initial Catalog=myDatabaseName;" & _
"User ID=myUsername;" & _
"Pas sword=myPassword"
Where:
- "Network Library=DBMSSOCN" tells SqlConnection to use TCP/IP
- xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is an IP address.
- 1433 is the default port number for SQL Server.
