MySQL has default security restrictions that typically don't allow remote
hosts to connect.  A quick and dirty test would be to modify the mysql start
script and add an argument for --skip-grant-tables such as:
$bindir/safe_mysqld --skip-grant-tables --datadir=$datadir . . .  Then
restart mysqld.  

If that works, then the more graceful solution is to first remove that
argument then adjust the grant tables on the databases used from the remote
host.

Subject: Re: SOT: BD 6.1 and mySQL

Now we're outside my realm of experience. My mySQL db is on a seperate
server. I can connect to it via the CF dev server and mySQL Control
Center on that same machine, as well as mySQL-Front on my personal
system. I have double checked what I thought to be the pertinent
variables (mySQL server IP, db name, un & pw), and even
uninstalled/reinstalled BD + below said instructions to start over from
scratch. No luck as yet.
