Hello everyone.

I wanted to know how I would go about finding the info for remote db access. I have my DB setup, the IP in the remote access whitelist, yet when I try connecting it always fails.

Would I use starka.x10hosting.com or my website url: smootle.x10hosting.com
When I create a database and user there is always smoot178_databasename and smoot178_dbusername would I use smoot178_dbname or simply the database name when remotely accessing it?

Help :(

Unfortunately, you are unable to access your database remotely from free accounts.

That would do it.

Thanks for the information.

No problem. We disable it mainly for security purposes.

I think paid services allow remote database access, however. I'm not 100% sure about that, hopefully someone can verify if I'm right.

I'm pretty sure if you go up onto IRC and ask one of the Administrators, they can be able to give you a definite answer whether Remote mySQL is allowed on X10hosting paid accounts.

At the moment, Remote MySQL is disabled and not usable on the free hosting accounts. I did hear though if I am recalling correctly that when Corey is able to get around to it, he may enable Remote MySQL. Don't set your hopes too high for this though

True, corey made a post stating that he may have found a solution, using a database cluster he wanted to set up.. If I can just find the post where he said that.
