client connection to mysql

[sucralose]

Hi guys,

I'm using a mysql client called CocoaMysql and I'm having problems simply connecting to the mysql database.... the client is asking for connection info and i am entering it as follows:

Host : http://www.mydomain.com/ (i also tried just the shared i.p. address)
User: mycpanelusername_mysqlusername
Database: mycpanelusername_mydatabasename

it refuses to connect...

thanks

An external connection to the MySQL will be refused, only localhost is allowed. However, here's a couple options to work around this:
