Remote Database Connection error

[william232]

Hi all i am trying to do a remote server connection to a mysql server host

and this is my error i have a feeling you will need to add it in to your firewall as u didd to shoutx 's thread

this is the error i am getting anyway


Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Can't connect to MySQL server on 'SQL06.FREEMYSQL.NET' (4) in /home/william2/public_html/index.php on line 5
Unable to connect to License Server

If you can add it to your firewall that would be good thanks,

Are you able to use an IP address instead of sql06.freemysql.net? I can allow an IP through the firewal for it.

I Have not been given an ip address for the host so its only that url i have given you.

I added the IP of it to the firewall.
