Hello, I'm having a problem connecting to a remote MySQL database and was hoping someone could give me a pointer on where to look. Both machines are running Red Hat Linux 7.2 and MySQL version 3.23.52. I have it compiled and running succesfully on each machine as long as I log in to the database on localhost.
However, when I try to connect remotely, I get the following error: [jcoltrin@persephone jcoltrin]$ mysql -h hades.vernier.com -u verniercart -p Enter password: ERROR 2003: Can't connect to MySQL server on 'hades.vernier.com' (110) Now, I can SSH between Persephone to Hades with no problem, so they can find each other via SSH. I know our network admin has closed down most of the ports and I suspect this is the problem. I tried opening port 3306 on both machines in the /etc/hosts.allow file to try to open the connection, but it didn't work. Other possibly useful information is that the hades machine is inside our firewall and the persephone machine is outside of the firewall Any help would be greatly appreciated. - jessica Jessica Coltrin Vernier Software and Technology (503)277-2299 [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
