Remote Mysql Connection

[Guest GuestPaulGuest]

I use c++ and Im currently learning libcurl and the mysql C api, im currernly with ipowerweb and I was fine with not being able

to remote mysql (as in not being able to use my domain name to login to mysql account and select db and tables) localhost

was fine because I wrote curl scripts in c to emulate webbrowser post,get and put and made a specialy crafted php script to handle mysql querys

I needed for the programs I made (a simple role playing game with users and stats and other stuff) But this is besides the point. Ipowerweb upgraded

and now I cant even connect to localhost even through my php script and I can't get a hold of support and was thinking about transferring because

ipowerweb is just frustration waiting to explode. I Inqueried with TCH live sales support and I was told it was possible to remote mysql even with a shared hosting package is this true? if so then i can ditch the script and use pure mysql C api and be happy. To visually lay this out this is the c connection function

 

if(!mysql_real_connect(&mysql,"localhost","username","password",NULL,0,NULL,0))

 

i would rather replace localhost (cause it doesnt work in this case) to

 

if(!mysql_real_connect(&mysql,"MyFutureTCHDomainName.com,"username","password",NULL,0,NULL,0))

 

if this is possible!

sorry for the rant and if this is unclear but i need to be clear on this!

Yes, it should be possible. You would just need to give your IP access rights to access it on the TCH server. This is done simply in cPanel.

I can confirm that this is allowed. As Bruce said you just need to add your allowed remote IPs into the MySQL configuration in cPanel.
