You'd be suprised how many of us prefer to read the content without any
flashy additions (content vs. style, I suppose). Anyway.

Ok.

No.
You have checked that mysql is running on the server machine? (ps awux |
grep mysql)
You have checked that it is running, bound to a port (netstat -an | grep
3306) (this assumes the default port)?
If mysql is started AND it has bound itself to the network interface, it
should be reachable on <your server's ip>:3306.
Good luck,
