Website Unable to connect to MySQL server

[xX EPIC Xx]

I have never realy had this problem so i don't know how to fix it.

on my website when i go to the account creation page this error comes up

Error: Unable to connect to MySQL server. MySQL reported: Can't connect to MySQL server on 'wowdark.getmyip.com' (4).

i've portforwarded mysql ports but still i get that error?

Your information is probably incorrect. Recheck if your Connecting settings are correct.

sometimes the mysqlnt.exe (the mysql server) closes, I do not know why.

but if this is what happened, just restart your computer.

simple fix:

Open your navicat or whatever you use for your SQL Database

I will use navicat as an example ok?

Open navicat click once on your connection

then click -Manage users-

Once window is open click on -Add user-

when the window will prompt, put the following:

Username: Root (unless you changed it)
Host: % <---- Thats right in the host field just put a percentage sign
Password: your Mysql Password
Confirm password: retype password

save.

Once done window will appear with global privileges, Click select All. Click save.

Done

do you have a firewall on blocking the access?

yes i've fixed it for the normal firewall but i'll check McAfee

if you are not a noob then why are you inputing wowdark.getmyip.com as your SQL address when you trying to connect,instead of your direct IP

because i've alway used my domains

[hingxxwing]

If you are hosting website off your own computer, Host should be Localhost... or 127.0.0.1..

If its hosted elseware, Then put that domain ip, And it should work, and if its not working with domain ip, Check your dyndns settings.

Im sorta noob so dont flame me like.

"I already did that im not a noob"

But if i helped Yay! i finally helped som1 on mmowned.

im not hosting my website it's a .org domain
and what ip do you mean my external or the hosters?

[hingxxwing]

If your server is hosted off of your computer.

Put your external IP in website.
---------------------------------------------
If Your server is hosted elseware.

Put the hoster's IP in website.
