Re: Attempting to connect to MySQL Server from Internet

Hi Chester,

Not sure what you are trying to acheive other than access your database over the net which in itself is not a major task.

On your server ensure that you have set the port in the configuration file so that it listens on the correct port.

Not used windows version but I guess somewhere there is a my.ini or my.cnf file and you want something like the following in it.

[client]
port=3307

[mysqld]
port=3307

Similarly on the client machine you are attempting to connect with you will need the same configuration or to specify the port when connecting.

I would also suggest you configure your firewall so that only you can access the port.
