well for starters you should look into updating your grants table, to allowe the
remote server to access the db. Don't forget to properly set the userid, password, and
perms for this...Highly encourage to grant this id read only access...but that's your
call. Then on the prospective webserver make sure the mysql client is installed and
try logging into the db from the clilike this:
myslq -h some.host.com -u whoami -pMYPASSWD DBNAME
if you get in then you've follow the instructions in the mysql handbook
properlyRemember to use mysqladmin to reload the new grants before you try the
remote connection...or you'll be left with some rather frustrating troubleshooting and
quite probably the jitters from that extra few doses of coffee...
cheers,
m!
