Hey,

I'm trying to connect my MySQL server, which is stored at my home under a ip adres, from an server on internet (www.server.com) via php. But it cant reach it.

I have forward my port (3306) to my computer in my router and in my PHPMyAdmin a gave acces to a user for any host.

What can be the problem?

Thanks

How are you trying to access it, via phpMyAdmin or another program?

Check your Firewall settings also....

i can reach mysql localy via phpmyadmin, but i cant reach it via a php script which is somewere on the internet outside my lan.

I opened port 3306 and i do not have any firewalls on.

Did you put an exception to it in Windows Firewall? Also, did you set the things up right....? If you have a router, did you set up port forwarding... and are you entering the right IP?

Eh, i typed my ipadress correct, so that can't be the problem. Also i did forward my router to my lan ipdress, so dat cant be the problem either. And I do not have any firewalls, included the one from XP, on.

Also good to know is that it all works fine within the lan.

Are you trying to access it via phpMyAdmin> if it is via phpMyAdmin, go to W:/www and edit the .htaccess file. modify as specified in it, comment the lines needed.
