I'm installing wordpress and I'd like to use a web mysql database rather than a local one. Is this possible? I used the same exact credentials for an already existing web wordpress installation with no luck.
If your web server allows remote MySQL connections, then yes. Just set your DB_HOST in wp-config.php correctly.

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.

Using the password you set during installation, or if you weren't prompted, usually it's a blank password.
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 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.)
I'm new to web development and I'm trying to go live with my website. Currently I can run MAMP mysql and then in the django app I can run 'python manage.py runserver' to run a virtual version on my system.
Currently I have uploaded (rsync) my django files to the server. How do I upload and run my mysql server on the web server? How do i dictate the domain? I know before that the domain was 127.0.0.1......
THanks
127.0.0.1 is localhost, so if your code is hosted on a remote server you can still access the db with that host. You need to first make sure MySQL is installed on the server. Once that has been taken care of use the MySQL terminal to create your db, its as easy as that.
Here is a useful page of MySQL commands:

Is there any local MySQL database which I can create on my system, just like the localhost we run on our system.
I never thought of this situation since we have our beta servers and live servers with database already set up in our offices.
I am creating an app on my own, that's why I need to setup a local db of mine.
You can use WAMP (or LAMP on linux) which is an integrated web development environment giving you access to your own LOCAL SQL databases accessible through your own machine's localhost. You will have full control to be able to create tables and administrate it. I am currently doing that myself
