Hi,
I resell using CP/ WHM and have had a thought...

I have a databse running on the server using mysql. i could do with accessing that information from a program i have running on a nt box.

Basically can you access a mysql database running on another server? (perhaps calling an IP or url instead of localhost?)

-thanks all.

Yes you can, make sure the user trying to access from a different IP other than localhost has permissions to do so (read up on "grant" command in mySQL manual)

your host would have to grant permissions for the remote ip address to connect to mysql.. email the host asking them if they will allow it..
