mysql server

[sb]

Hello,

Does anyone knows if possible and how to use my sqlserver at hostrocket from outside ?
IE: I declare it as localhost, but what is if I want to declare it sql.mydomain.com ?

Thanks.

Nope. mySQL runs as a local service and any connections from anywhere other then localhost will be denied. At least that's been my experience, and it is also a good idea from a security standpoint as well.
