Hi

I want to use MySQLMan on one server to edit a MySql database on a different server.
So i changed in msql.cfg "direct_host" from 'localhost' to '213.196.37.50'

I got the following Error Message:
connection failed: Host 'reaktie10.reaktie.com' is not allowed to connect to this MySQL server

how can i solve this problem? Please help.

You have to tell mysql about the changes as well - you can't just change the setting in mysqlman and hope it works.

Hello Paul

I am not sure what you mean by "You have to tell mysql about the changes as well - you can't just change the setting in mysqlman and hope it works."

I am able to access (with MySQLMan installed on server "B") the database in server "B". So mysql knows username and password. All works fine.

I cannot access with MySQLMan (now installed on server "A") the database in server B. although I supplied the host name of Server B. and my user name, and my password for the database in the file mysql.cfg (on server A).

Thanks for answering

As I said, you need to setup MYSQL to accept remote connections......setting up MySQLMan to do this doesn't configure MySQL also.

Try reading the URL I gave you.
