[DM-MUG] Yahoo/MySQL & DreamWeaver

[Darcy Baston]

Hi Chris.

Most web hosts (Yahoo too I wager) don't allow for connections to a  
database outside the domain (meaning from a personal computer that  
has access to the internet). They often configure their MySQL setup  
to only allow 'localhost' connections, which means connections from  
web pages being served from their own web servers. In this setup,  
you'd use Dreamweaver to write the code, say something like PHP, to  
connect to MySQL from inside a .php web page, upload the page, and  
test it "live".

I've been trying to get DreamWeaver hooked up to a MySQL database I  
have hosted on a Yahoo site, but I've not been successful. I cannot  
figure out what to specify as a hostname, having tried the "obvious"  
such as the domain name and several variants. Maybe I just need to  
append a port number, but I don't know. Have any of you done this?

A bit googling led me to a forum where somebody insisted that they  
had done this successfully and promised to post the solution, but  
nothing more. This leaves me thinking it can be done, but I just  
don't know how.


Thanks,
Chris
