Manage mySQL DB by using phpMyAdmin and point browser to ip - mysql

Hi I am completely new to phpMyAdmin and mySQL
Is there any way to configure remote management/access of my MySQL database by pointing requests or a browser to an IP? I have my server set up behind a router and have setup port forwarding for ports 8080 (tomcat) and 3306(should be default mySQL). Everything works locally on the machine, however I cannot access the dbs or phpmyadmin by pointing a browser from a computer on the local network to http://IP/phpmyadmin or from externally by pointing the browser to the IP given to me by my ISP. Any thoughts? Is there a specific way to edit the config files in order to allow the use of IP addresses?

Exposing your db and appserver on the internet is not a good idea. If these need to be accessed remotely, use a VPN or authenticated SSL. In the case of phpmyadmin - if this is running on a webserver on your network then you'll need to forward port 80 too - although I'd recommend using HTTPS/SSL (port 443)

Redirect FTP requests

I have an application that connects to a domain using port 3306 (MySQL) and port 21 (FTP).
I've had to move the MySQL hosting to another server (AWS) and need to keep the FTP server as is.
Now the problem I have is that the application doesn't allow you to specify a different server name for each service so it's trying to connect via FTP to the MySQL server in AWS.
Is there any way to setup Windows to redirect certain ports only to a different IP?
Is there a way to set up the new server to bounce FTP requests back to the older server?
Alternatively is there a way to setup the domain DNS to point MySQL port requests to the MySQL server?
One of the ways to fix this is, install a TCP proxy server (Eg. nginx, haproxy) on the new server and pass the request to the old server based on the request type.

Hot to connect to remote MySQL server when my ISP is blocking 3306?

I am developing simple application with Visual Studio that gets data from remote MySQL server through MySql.Data.dll extension. Everything works fine when I'm in my own network, but when I'm at customer site it won't work. I'm assuming their IT is blocking port 3306. Since this is a big corp with strict rules cooperation with network admin is not an option. I heard about tunneling with SSH, tried to do some research but this time this is something not supported by my remote MySQL server provider. I'm out of ideas. What are my options?
Many thanks,
Paw
You can try the command > telnet <yourDBHost> 3306 to verify if port is blocked.
In that case, if you can't request to your admin to open port, maybe you can change the port of MySQL to another open port in the firewall, using your CPanel or editing config files directly if you can access it.

Fail to access remote server from another remote server

I have a remote server to which I need to connect to. Let's say the hostname is Remote01. From my local, I am connecting to it via a VPN (Juniper). I have another remote server in my intranet which is an RHEL server. I loginto this RHEL server (let's call it Remote02) and in the command line I type:
ping Remote01
This returns
ping unknown host Remote01
Do I need a VPN installed in Remote02 as well?
You would need to install the VPN client on Remote02 as well in order to reach Remote01.
Or, if you're comfortable changing the routing table and firewall of your own server/machine, you can changing the routing table on Remote02. For the network of Remote01, instead of going to the default gateway, point it to your local machine. On your local machine, modify the firewall to accept incoming packets from Remote02 to forward to to Remote01 via the existing VPN connection.
I would say the first solution is much simpler. But if for some reason, the VPN client is not available on Linux then you can try the second solution.

can't connect with mysql on company network

I have built an application in vb.net that needs to connect to a mysql database. This all works fine from my own network and several other home networks.
But if i want to use the application on my company's network, i get the error
Unable to connect to any of the specified MySQL hosts
I thought that this is caused by the firewall of the network.
But I used the "automatic update" option and I publish the application on a online server. This works fine on my company's network.
So the application can download the updates from the network, but can't connect to the mysql server. What could cause this issue?
The most common situation that would cause this is selective egress filtering. Specifically, the firewall is most likely only allowing HTTP/HTTPS port connections out.
Try changing mysql to listen on 443, then try again using 443 instead. The firewall may allow the traffic since it is using 443 like web traffic instead of 3306 (mysql default).
If you're testing it locally, its because you need to whitelist the IP that you're CURRENTLY on.
On live sites, the IP of the server doesn't change. So you use that IP with the correct permissions to allow mysql to work.
So basically, figure out where your allowed IP's to talk to the DB are, find your local ip, and modify. Incorrect ports can be a problem also

Localhost database connect from other sysytem

I am testing a website which in other machine like 192.168.0.1 in my machine which is 127.168.0.2 so in the website ajax jquery is used on page load in which the url is
http://localhost/Demo/store.php
but when i execute that page in website in other machine the database isnt connecting and even if i give the url as
http://192.168.0.1/Demo/store.php
its not connecting to database..What is the issue please tell me...How can i access from other system so that all my local database values can be displayed in other machines also..Thanx..
From http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc940018.aspx:
address 127 .x.y.z is reserved for loopback testing and interprocess communication on the local computer.
Your probably not connected to your network correctly. Check your physical connection (blinking leds), then make sure you have a DHCP server on the network, otherwise assign a static IP.
After this try pinging the address to make sure the 2 hosts can see each other. Also open up any ports which may be behind a firewall, 3306 is default for MySQL DB.
