MySQL

[rvbfreak]

I have an account on x10hosting.com

I have the MySQL connector dll for .net, but am having problems.

1) When I go to phpmyadmin on cpanel, it says the server is localhost. I am confused by which IP i am supposed to use to connect, as im pretty sure just localhost will not work.

2) When connected, can i use credidentials from an account already made to access the database, or do i need to use the admin credidentials?

I would be willing to pay someone to help me get it set up if I cannot get much help here.

Thanks

Have you tried it?

You need to use the credentials of a database account. The admin account on your control panel is not a database account.

Does x10hosting allow remote connections to MySQL databases? Most hosts don't allow remote connections unless you have a dedicated server hosting package.

x10hosting does allow remote connections, but it says that you need to enter the IP of the remote connection.

The free hosting does not allow remote connections. You need to sign up for premium hosting in order to access a database remotely. I signed up earlier today to see what it was all about, and I saw that remote access IP addresses area also. I don't understand why it's there, because they say clearly here that it is not allowed with free hosting. It must be there to draw you in.

I ended up just ordering a hosting package from databasemart.com earlier tonight and it was up and running in less than ten minutes. If you have $7 a month to spend it might be worth it. I'm going to give it a shot for a couple months. Merry Christmas to me.

hmm, are there any other 'free' methods of making databases? I want to make a VB app where the user can log in and it shows their number of credits.

Oh, you want to use the database remotely. I assumed we were talking about a program that ran on the server.

You might want to look into having a Web Service on the server that talks to the database, and your application talks to the Web Service.

For VB applications, I use db4free.
It can be connected to remotly!
