Just wandering if I can host my database locally for the website that is hosted on hosting provider's server. It means,
The web pages to be stored on hosting server.
The database to be stored on localhost (phpMySql).
In summary, How can I point my website to use the localhost database?
As #Eggplant sais in his comment, you can set your php to use "remote server" and link it to your localhost.
For example see this tutorial how to link it:
http://www.danielmois.com/article/Manage_remote_databases_from_localhost_with_phpMyAdmin
But your localhost should have public IP address and should be always online for your website to work correctly.
Not a good idea, IMHO

I'm using Plesk installed at AWS Lighsail, I'm using the defauls MySQL database for my application. And now I'm trying to make this database externally accessible.
I've followed these instructions to whitelist the IP addresses
But the problem is not whitelisting, but more like making it accessible at all.
It shows localhost as the DB domain and I can't find how to change this or how to create an alias/forwarding or something.
The only mentions for that case I was able to find here which says:
If the server name is specified like ‘localhost’, contact your hosting provider to find out your database server address.
What can I do? Contact AWS? (my billing plan does not support this lol) Create external DB from scratch in Lightsail and point Plesk to use it instead?
Thank you!
I am building my own website and I want to show my brother on the same network. But localhost is only on my computer... I think at least. Is there a way I ca nhost it on the network instead of my computer?
To access your localhost site from another computer, you can use the IP address of the computer on your local network where the site is located (for example: http://192.168.0.2/) instead of http://localhost/ or http://127.0.0.1/ which is the same thing.
If you are unable to do this due to a 404 or 403 error, check your web server configuration and/or firewall configuration.
How to connect MYSQL Database of epizy.com (which is free database provider), to www.mydomain.co.in (which is purchased domain)
Can we connect it!
Have a look what the error is showing here
You need to have hosting first
If your website hosted and working with database on the free host you have mentioned, then you can connect your domain by changing the DNS A records, you will have an IP address which you can browse your website through, copy this IP address and then add it to the domain setting under A/AAAA Records in the DNS manager, after that you may need to wait up to 72 hours to see your website live on the new domain
There are certain free database hosting provider which provides remote access to their database.
Remote access here signifies all the requests made to the database are
originated from their own hosting server (eg, using their hosting
service for php, jsp etc) or any other hosting service provider.
But if remote access is not allowed means all request trying to connect database will be discarded if it's been made from other than their own servers.
So, irrespective of you correct ID and password to the database, you cannot connect to it remotely if blocked by the provider.
000webhost.com, comli.com are such providers for PHP based site
hosting, and, eatj.com is best for testing a Java hosted sites (but
for 11 days trial is only free) all above provider provides free
database hosting.
Turn on error reporting to know exactly what is going wrong.
Or change local host to the websites SQL server
You must have IP for free database provider then you can set this IP as your database HOST.
Also the remote access must be allowed by the server if it is not allowed you can not access your database from different server. Please ask your server support to enable it.
How to create a WordPress website when the hosting package that was given by T-Home (T-Mobile) only includes a FTP password and FTP username, but doesn't include an access to a hosting panel or a remote access to MySQL?
If you've been provided a MySQL database, but you just can't access it remotely then this shouldn't be a problem. You can just upload the Wordpress installation files via FTP and then open your website in your browser and you can configure everything with the WordPress installation wizard, which should automatically start once you uploaded everything to your webspace.
If your provider hasn't provided you a MySQL database I see no way to make this work. (You can create a Blog on http://wordpress.com though).
That is correct.
You can download WordPress installation zip in your local system, extract it and upload it on server using FTP account.
MySQL is generally installed in same server and you can use localhost as server name (no need to have remote access). Most of the providers do not provide remote mysql access to avoid security issues.
Once you have uploaded WordPress files on server, access your site with domain.com (if the domain is pointing to same server) OR if it does not point to server, you can access it with temporary URL and proceed with the installation steps.
I got stuck in deployement of my website built using ASP.Net, C# and using sql server 2008 database. The problem is that website is working perfectly fine on localhost but it is not connecting with database when I hosted it on web, I know that the problem is in Sql server database in giving permission or something but I don't know exactly because the connection and user which I have created is exactly the same as I used while development and as soon as I deployed it on web the part which is not using database is working fine that is login page but when I enter username and password in the interface and hit login it does not go into database and pull the data, I mean it does not connect to database at all.
My question is that does it matters in accessing database from localhost and from web, Though I am still using My local computer for Coding and using the company"s database through VPN. This is first time I am deploying the website on web and I need some help, I know my way of asking question might ambiguous but please try to understand and if you have some question than please ask don't just ignore.
Many thanks in advance.
Most frequent solutions:
Enable TCP/IP protocol for sql server instance.
Enable SQL Server Browser service.
Open firewall ports.
