Accessing MySQL Database from my VB.NET 2008 Project - mysql

I developed a project in VB.NET
In this project I want to use data from MySQL that is resides in my WEB Server.
I can communicate with the MySQL server of my localhost but can not communicate with the WEB Server.
In my CPanel I added Host from the Remote Database Access
But I can't communicate with WEB MySQL Server.
Please help me.

The first step is to try to connect to the web mysql with MySql Query Browser - that will tell you if the database is open for remote connections ( I assume it would fail)
I guess you have already checked it, but make sure you use the correct ip
EDIT:
As Björn said, your vb code is ok, so the problem is with the connection to the db.
Unfortunately that would be caused by many many reasons.
Are you sure you use a real IP from the host (and use it in the mysql settings)?
Are you sure you entered the correct remote host in the mysql settigns?
Are you sure you have correct connection string in the vb code?

Since your post indicates you can access the DB on your localhost, it doesn't seem to be an issue with the way you're connecting to the DB from your application (.NET-Connector?).
What does the external MySQL-Server say? Access denied? Or can't you reach it from the pc where your application is hosted (aka maybe a firewall regulation, other network etc.)?

How to login to PhpMyAdmin with a Deck.app mysql instance?

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.

Connect Google Data Studio to Local Mysql Server

I have started using Google's Data Studio I found it very easy to turn the Excel data into Intuitive Business Dashboards with little or no coding skills.
But I have a problem here, whenever I try to connect to Mysql DB (running on my local system) I'm facing error.
Connection Details:
Error Message:
I tried googling the Error Code but No luck.
But I'm able to access the local Mysql Server from Mysql Workbench.
What is that I am missing here? Data Studio Heros?
Thanks in advance.
Simple answer: To expose a localhost service to the web, you have to use ngrok.
For your MySQL the command is:
ngrok tcp 3306
Then the hostname you have to use data studio will be displayed.
Google Data Studio operates on the Web, thus does not have access to your personal local network. However,
You may make you MySQL db Engine accessible to the web by changing the bind-address parameter (See on MySQL Workbench, Instance > Option File > Networking > General > bind-address) to 0.0.0.0.
You also need to create a new user allowed to connect from Hosts Matching %, since Google Data Studio servers are using a dozen of different IP addresses (https://support.google.com/datastudio/answer/7088031?hl=en)
Please refer to this question:
How to make mySQL database at my local accessible from different machines?
Please note that this is a bad practice to open an access to your personal computer and you may instead want to use a MySQL or MariaDB cloud service such as https://console.cloud.google.com/launcher/details/bitnami-launchpad/mariadb
You cannot put host address as localhost.
1) You will need to check your device address at whatismyip.com or something like that.
2) Second thing you need to check is if your device is under firewall or not.
You can refer below URL for more information
http://qsok.com/x/KIBr
As Will mentioned above, it's best practise to use cloud service such as Google Cloud itself to host your MySql database and then take the connection there.
When you connect your database to Data Studio you need to open firewall for all the IP addresses it uses. You can find the whole list of IPs on the bottom of this support article https://support.google.com/datastudio/answer/7088031?hl=en
If your database is behind a firewall, you will need to open access to
the all of the following IP addresses. These are used by Data Studio
to connect to and query your MySql database.

Database is not connected to my website build on ASP.Net

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.

JustHost Cpanel - MySQL username/password access remotely

Not sure if this is the right forum for me to ask this question.
But I'm wondering does anyone having difficult using JustHost as web hosting provider in establishing remote access to their mysql database server environment?
What happened recently was that I'm trying to use mySQL ODBC driver connector via MS access to access their mysql database.
Originally I know what my username/password is and JustHost(well.. at least that's what I think they normally do) is set this similar setup for all other CPanel access such as your FTP, email, billing info, etc, etc.
Thus I tried using my username/password to logon into the mysql database via MS ACCESS's odbc connector. But I kept on being rejected to log in.
I started whether the password I used to log on my CPanel services would be different that the one used to access mysql via PHPAdmin window. Thus with that in mind, I forwarded the query to Justhost helpdeskteam.
Unfortunately they don't have a clue about this.
Thus that's what brought me here in this forum, begging this question - does anybody know what's the appropriate approach in remotely connecting mysql database environment via a web hosting provider such as Justhost.com?
Sorry for the elongated story.
Thought it would help to state the meaningfulness of my supposedly-trivial problem.
Log in to your JustHost account and scroll down to Remote MySQL. You need to add the IP address(es) of the remote server(s) to the list of Access Hosts.

How do I connect VS2010 to a MySQL database (locallay on another computer)?

I have a MySQL database on another windows computer (a server) that is setup locally using remote desktop connection for testing.
How can I connect to that local database to Visual Studio 2010 on "my computer"?
Server Computer(MySQL database setup local) --> My Computer(Visual Studio for test code..)
I am new to MySQL and any suggestions will help.
Thanks
PS: I have found this, but the "Server Name" for the database is 127.0.0.1 which I can't use because it is local on whatever computer you are on.

You'll have to use the address of the computer that it is hosted on. It should be the same as the address you use to connect to the remote desktop session.
You might need to configure the firewall to accept the connection. You also might need to setup MySQL to allow remote connections with the user that you authenticate with.
I would recommend downloading MySQL workbench and install it on your local computer. Once you get the connection working with that, you should be able to use the connection with VS2010.
If you're not sure how to do the things listed above, you'll need to start out with a basic tutorial on setting up MySQL for remote connectivity.
