Port 3306 Outbound Connect

[wheatfie]

Hi,

I need someone to allow the outbound connection to port 3306 for the IP address: 198.91.82.28.

Thanks!

They do not open additional ports. Period.

How do you create a ticket in the x10 Free hosting?

Hi Kaine,

You'll need to submit a ticket now in your free hosting service for friendstream.x10.mx and ask them to allow the outbound connection to port 3306 for this IP - this will resolve your issue.

I wonder why he would recommend me doing something like this if it wasn't possible?

The reason for all of this is to be able to use a database that is hosted at another server on this server. I am not trying to remote mysql this servers databases, but the other way around.

Doesn't matter; it won't be allowed on a Free Hosting server. If there's no API you can use over HTTP (port 80), then you can't use the service from a Free Hosting account.

We don't open ports on Free Hosting servers because it is impossible to grant exceptions on a per-account basis with the software we use to manage the firewall.

I'll make a sweep of all outstanding prime/illuminated tickets tomorrow and I'll try to check back on them more often (like twice a week), but I don't have much time outside of work and school. You'll find a lot of the other volunteers around here have similar time issues, which is why there are often large delays or even nonresponse on tickets. It isn't something we're proud of, but it's unfortunately the truth. Obviously the easy fix is to get more volunteers, so if people are interested in helping out, start off by answering people in the forums here and then shoot me a PM saying you'd like more access to help out more -- I'll see what I can do from there.
