I am about to install WordPress on a Windows 2008 server - two load balanced servers with a UNC share. Web browsing using the server is out of the question (IT security policy) so using the Microsoft Web Platform Installer is also a non starter. I will therefore have to install it manually.
So far I have installed PHP (routine), but I now need to install MySQL and create a database. However, with these being two separate servers, what effect is this going to have on the database - will this require a database on each server? Will they remain in sync? Can the database itself be put in the UNC share?
In short, can anyone advise me whether this is possible and how to go about it?
Thanks
Install MySQL and create the database on the server which is supposed to have it - preferably a 3rd one or on the UNC. In the MySQL config, enable network connections via my.cnf, specifically the bind-address.
Both the PHP boxes should connect to that one MySQL db (using it's LAN ip address). (And yes, they would remain in sync since they connect to the same db.)

Using the deck app, that uses Multipass & Docker to build containers and instances of specific technologies (such as Laravel, CodeIgnite, Apache, etc.,) to create a mysql instance it installs a copy of phpmyadmin and allows you to view the server through the browser.
I cannot logon to the phpmyadmin page that is created by this mysql/phpmyadmin instance in the deck app
I have messed around using CLI (terminal) to initiate the server to make it active, however this generally resulted in errors.
I have web hosting that allows me to use remote myqsl through cpanel but I don't know how to connect it to a localhost.
I would like to know how to login or use the mysql server.
I would appreciate advice on what I need to do to make this new mysql instance usable, so I can get a username, password & database name to utilise in a laravel project.
I would also like to know if there is any better solution for creating a mysql & phpmyadmin database to use for a laravel project.
Thanks in advance!

What are the errors?

You wouldn't; you'll want to install your own phpMyAdmin locally rather than connecting your web host to your local server. You should not expose your local database server to the internet.
I would like to know how to login or use the mysql server.
Using the password you set during installation, or if you weren't prompted, usually it's a blank password.
Me and my friend have to do a project in Mysql and i am trying to find how me and my friend can work on mysql together from our own workstations. Is there a way where we both can work on the same database together without being physically present.
I am fairly new to mysql.
Just take cheap shared hosting that has MySQL databases and preferably also PHPmyAdmin and cPanel or any other panel to easily manage your databases. In that way, you have minimum hassle to create and manage databases that you can both access.
Google "compare cheap shared hosting" and that's it. Or take this quick Google result I got: https://www.pcmag.com/picks/the-best-cheap-web-hosting-services
If you're not happy to pay $1-$2 per month for hosting then you can install WAMPP or XAMPP on Windows machine but then you'll have to also Google how to forward ports from your router.
Edited 3aug2020: For a free MySQL hosting for up to 5MB free storage please, check https://www.freemysqlhosting.net
You can use a program like XAMPP to host mysql and port-forward phpmyadmin so your friend can visit your db
https://www.apachefriends.org/index.html
If you have MYSQL running on a server or your local computer you can both access phpmyadmin (http://server-ip/phpmyadmin) you can also use programs like Navicat (paid) or HeidiSQL (Free).
You can make the database remotely accessible, in which case your friend can connect and work on it as well.
Without knowing more about your network setup it is difficult to say how you should proceed, but generally it is enough to spin up a mysql-server instance on the host machine, then forward a WAN port to the LAN address and port of the host machine.
I have checked almost all solutions both in Openshift forum and here in stackoverflow but couldn't solve the problem.
Here is the situation
I have a php server with load balancing in one gear.
I have a second gear for mysql server along with PhpMyAdmin. At present OpenShift does not support load balancing for PhpMyAdmin, so my second gear does not have any scaling feature.
Now I want to host a php app in first gear and the database in the second gear. So how do I connect them internally (would be better if I could do it without port forwarding)? I need all the commands from the beginning to the end unfortunately.
Thank you.
You should just add the mysql cartridge to your scaled application. It will still put the mysql database on it's own gear, but it will be accessible from your scaled application using the standard mysql environment variables. You can view those variables by sshing into your application and running env | grep mysql. If you decide to run your own second gear for the mysql database (you still had to install a web cartridge anyways to do that right?) then you will either HAVE to use port forwarding for direct access, or you will have to write an API on that server that will allow your application to access the mysql database.
One of my small python web app hosts on GAE
but I prefer to change its database to Mysql.
GAE database is too special which rely on GAE and not good for future migration.
Can python app on GAE(google app engine) access Mysql server host on VPS/dedicated server?
(of course they are not in same local network with GAE)
if sure, what need to care(firewall, port policy and all others) for Mysql server being open to web?
Sure.
Open the single port needed (3306) inside your firewall of choice.
Always install relevant security updates to the mysql server software as soon as possible.
Create a new mysql user for access from your GAE instance.
Possibly restrict access for this user to one single IP inside of mysql.
(If this is true, you can also enforce it in your firewall of choice too, which hardens the access even more.)
Grant this user as less rights as possible inside mysql.
I'm a tyro, want to use database (MySQL) installed in hosting account, to change things in the database from desktop. What are the softwares that I can use for this?
PS: Most likely I'd be using this database with PHP.

Top 15+ MySQL Managers and Tools
How ever, most web hosting don't allowing remote access to their database servers, but they do offer access a tool to access to database, generally via a browser(in most cases phpMyAdmin).
If you really want to learn SQL with MySQL, why just not to install it in your desktop and avoid future problems(disconnecting, slow connection, etc ...).
Depends on your hosting provider. Most likely it won't allow you to connect from external host (that is, your desktop). Reason? Security.
Your best bet would be to install a copy of phpMyAdmin on the server and manage your DB from the browser.
