MySQL & VB.NET

[Phreak]

Are our MySQL databases setup so we can connect to them from a remote connection and not localhost? I want to write an app with vb.net to access the database from my site so I can manage it from my desktop and not through my browser. Can this be done with the current setup or do I need to have something configured specifically for my database?

Thanks,

Jaryd Sunstrom

you can only connect from localhost on hostrocket.com.

(search for:
Connect to mySQL database from other host

(--> just add your desired host (or hosts, wildcard allowed) to the "add hosts" list on the bottom your mysql configuration page)

I think you may also need to submit a TT for access from another program as well. I did this with one of my databases a little while ago.
