 | View Full Version : mysql remote access cyril68 03-19-2002, 01:45 PM Hello I've been looking around for a host. Perhaps I've been unlucky, but they all seem to be restricted to 'localhost' mysql and I need remote access. Could you offer any recommendations? Regards MarcD 03-19-2002, 02:56 PM xeran at www.xeran.com has remote mysql access however connections were not all that great in my exprience. and you are only allowed one database jambler 03-19-2002, 09:45 PM id be willing to bet (at least hoping) that they are restricting access the mysql because of its remote exploit/s. your better off going with a hosting company that protects against that and just accessing it the old fashion way, through the shell. : ) ²³ ½ 03-19-2002, 10:35 PM Yeah I agree with jambler bombino 03-19-2002, 10:57 PM Is there a specific reason that you need remote access? Annette 03-20-2002, 05:59 AM mySQL connections should default to localhost only to avoid having Joe Q. RandomCracker try anything nasty with someone's data. If you really need remote mySQL access though, just ask your host. It's a fairly simple process to set it up for any particular database. cyril68 03-20-2002, 09:52 AM Doh!:homer: Thank you for your answers; I think I've probably been looking at my requirements back-to-front. I should stick to localhost.
