MySQL Port?

[cold12141]

I know this is before June 30 and I'm sorry for that but I need to know what port I would use to connect my MySQL database remotely. I already have it set to allow my host.

3306

Thank you. Though I have another problem now, I can't connect to it.

I have the remote mysql section set up with the hosts allowed set to % and another one set to %.%.%.% And it still doesn't work.

3306 is the port that MySQL is running on.

The server firewall may block any incoming connections though. If it does, let me know and I can allow your IP through the firewall.

Edit: Wow I'm slow tonight.

Well, that won't really fix my problem. I want to use this database for information from a game I am making so it's impossible to give everyone's IP that may play the game.

cold, i would NOT directly connect from a program, you can "sniff" network packets and retreive the connection information...

I would use PHP connector scripts instead, send a POST request from your program to a specially designed script and you do not give the server user+pass to everyone...
