hello,
i need to connect a mysql database which is on a remote PC using PHP or smt like that
both PC are connected to internet
i use xampp and win7

i know that i will use
mysql_connect("remote PC's IP", "login name set up for my PC", "login password");

additionally, remote PC should give permission to me to read and write its mysql database.
i did this:

CREATE USER 'remote'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY '***';

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON * . * TO 'remote'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY '***' WITH GRANT OPTION MAX_QUERIES_PER_HOUR 0 MAX_CONNECTIONS_PER_HOUR 0 MAX_UPDATES_PER_HOUR 0 MAX_USER_CONNECTIONS 0 ;

CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS `remote` ;

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON `remote` . * TO 'remote'@'%';

but it was not fixed. mysql_connect("remote PC's IP", "login name set up for my PC", "login password") gives error:

Warning: mysql_pconnect() [function.mysql-pconnect]: Can't connect to MySQL server on '79.***.***.***' (10060) in C:\xampp\htdocs\baglan.php on line 3
Can't connect to MySQL server on '79.***.***.*** (10060)

oh sorry, error: Warning: mysql_pconnect() [function.mysql-pconnect]: Can't connect to MySQL server on '79.***.***.***' (10060) in C:\xampp\htdocs\baglan.php on line 3 Can't connect to MySQL server on '79.***.***.***' (10060)

1 solution

The first thing to check is that the port 10060 isn't blocked by a firewall.

could you tell me how to give a firewall permission for such a command.

You have to check firewall settings. For example in Windows open Control Panel, locate the firewall settings and allow traffic using port 10060. You could also try using port 3306 which is the standard port.
