I am looking at a database builder called Navicat, building the data basis is done in a live enviroment, but i can not connect to MYSQL using the Voda IP address or the host and idea how ?

I am sure Navaldesign will be along to help soon.
(Especially with a software name like this) lol
If you have still got time? Pop his name or the software name in the heading to attract his attention. But you may have been timed out by now.

Good luck.

Most likely you need to allow your IP in the Access Host. Go into cPanel, click the MySQL icon, and scroll down to the bottom of that page. There is a field for you to enter an IP address into, enter your IP address there

Do you use a Password Protected Directory? Need a way to allow users to make their own account, try my .htaccess Login Script

Could also be something like (in my case) "host53-212.pool80117.interbusiness.it" .

Please note that if you have a dynamically changing IP address and/or host, you will need to repeat the same procedure every time you disconnect.

I was just helping Holly with an issue like this, and ours was the PORT number was needed for a direct connect or bridge to the live database, and we couldnt get it done. And we used the HOST ip as well too, or her computers ip. Didnt think of the base string that Naval suggested tho. I did note tho, on one account i have mysql version 4, and on the other account i have version 5.. so maybe we need updates.. :)

Karen,

VH updates MySQL from time to time, as well as php (you will see that php on some servers is version 4 whilst on some others it is version 5) . However, the remote connection has nothing to do with the version of php or MySQL but with the settings of the server.

There are some softwares that use an intermediate piece of software for remote communication. Usualy a php file is installed on the server, which allows connection as localhost (as local conection within the same server) then this file (script) comunicates with desktop aplication directly.

This way you acheive the results of a remote connection without actually establishing one.

Naval..

Yes i know.. Ive installed several. 2 of my stores are installed in this manner and i create the database at the time of installation and can also populate the cart same way. This was for oscommerce, and it was an addon for populating the cart ... etc. We never could get the direct connection and im sure its the port number. The only way it would become operational and by pass this was to create a BRIDGE, and I could do it and alter the necessary files but Holly chose not to. This BRIDGE would have to be created EACH time it was used, so it tended to take away some of its automated effect. It involved installing another script as you said to establish the connection.

I think this might be an issue with DESKTOP applications, as I have no issues when im running addons..etc that actually work on the live server.
