I am trying to create an environment where the mysql db server is on one box and my application server is on a second. The db server is running on the first box and I can connect to it locally using the mysql interface. What needs to be installed from the mysql distribution on the application server to enable connectivity to the db server? Should I be able to initiate the mysql client on the app server and connect to the db server on the first box? Is there a way to verify the connectivity independent of the app server? --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
