I am just starting out with learning mysql and I have run into some speed bumps that are mostly my configuration. I have set up mysql running on a Mac OS X box with php running a particular software package called phpESP. Works great (a bit slow, but great). Now, in order to have my system go live the head honchos decided that my department could not have the mysql database and the webserver on thes same machine (security reasons). Now I have read some of the docs regarding doing this, whatever user accesses the database has to have the IP that it will be coming from set up after the @ symbol. Well, can I change an existing user to have access from any location, and how would I see if that is already set up for this user? Sorry for the newbie questions, but docs, urls, or pretty much anything will get me started thanks so much!
