Database issue

[antiny2010]

Hi all

I am hosting my database off a windows vps and my cms off a linux server atm to try something how do i go about making it connect to the database as ive done the config file under management and changed the localhost bit to the servers ip address but it still says unable to connect to mysql

Is there anything im missing?

Thanks

On your linux make sure your ports are opened to accept incoming connections to the database. Not exactly sure how to connect a windows VPS to a linux box , but that would be my first guess

Hi jay

Would that work as the database is on the windows vps as stated

Also make sure external computers can connect to the database as "root", unless you made another user. Free your ports, and make firewall instances for it
