how to connect to a mysql form a server

[ruselle]

hello
i have installed mysql on a server in school and i'm trying to access it via the school's network from my class. how do i go about doing that?

hmm, how so do you mean?
Like via SHELL/SSH to make a database?
Or for uses, ie installing a forums ??

I think this should be moved to the General Discussion.

We have no idea how you network is setup at your school. Have you tried to contact the admins?

i would like to connect through shell
my database was set up at the server with permissions being granted to all the remote work stations.

** This assume its a Windows-platform server **

1) Start menu > run > cmd
2) get into the server computer (I personally do not know how to do so)
3) put: cd x:\path\to\mysql\bin\folder (x = drive latter)
4) put: mysql -p -u user -h servername

Replace 'user' with your mySQL username, 'servername'
with the name of the server; usually (if on same machine) 'localhost'

I think this should be moved to the General Discussion.

I'd second that...this is not a Dathorn support issue.

heh thought I moved it there, I guess
I moved to wrong 'General...' forum eh?
