Thanks for reply, I'm going to try that, but how could this be? I just want to make sure I was clear that there is no problem to connect to the remote MySQL server and there is nothing blocking that machine. It's the PHP machine that's blocking any incoming traffic from the MySQL machine. How could PHP use a port number that is also used by MySQL?

it IS 3306(in a default setup) that you'll need to allow traffic through

we open.

In a default setup, I believe the port is 3306.
Check your MySQL config files, as this can be changed.

Subject: [PHP-DB] Question on the port PHP uses to connect to remote MySQL



Here is my problem. I have PHP running on one machine, mysql on another
one. Everything works fine till I put a firewall on the PHP machine,
which blocks pretty much every port there is except port 80. Now, PHP
can't connect to the mysql database anymore. If I disable the firewall
on the PHP machine it works again. So I eliminate the reasons down to
that PHP must uses some port for mysql return the query. The question is
which port does PHP use for the connection? I'm NOT talking about 3306
which is used by Mysql. Anyone could help? Thanks in advance.

Louis
