To remotely connect to your MySQL databases, you must have an I.P.-based account. Login to your control panel and click on the side menu "ValueApps" then the "Database" tab. If you have not installed MySQL, click on "MySQL Database" under Available ValueApps. If you have already installed MySQL, click on "MySQLs" under Installed ValueApps. Check the box "TCP/IP Connection". Now login to your account via SSH.
Use the MySQL monitor to grant privileges. Start the MySQL monitor with this command: mysqlor: /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqlYour shell prompt should now look like this: mysql> Run this command: GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO USERNAME@IP IDENTIFIED BY "PASSWORD";USERNAME is the username that you would like to create. IP is the public IP address of your remote connection. See examples PASSWORD is the password you would like to use for this username. You now must flush MySQL's privileges. Run this command: FLUSH PRIVILEGES; Run this command to exit MySQL: exit; You can find your I.P. address by visiting these sites(opens a new window):
