MySQL Question(s)

Expand Post »

I am a student and am developing my knowledge of MySQL and am practicing using it as a backend for some of my apps. I can run MySql on my laptop (Windows XP Pro) and use my apps referring to the local host. We have a wireless network in our home and I am about to get my big compuer back up and running. When I get it up, it will have Windows XP Pro on it. I am planning on installing MySql on it and practice using it more in a network environment. Now my question(s) are: How do I "share" MySQL from my main computer so that my apps can access it and instead of using localhost to get to it how will I refer to it?

Thanks,

Chester

Re: MySQL Question(s)

if you are behind a router, what you will need to do is open port 3306 and forward the request to The private IP of the pc hosting the MySQL server. Now you can replace localhost with your IP. Let me know if that helps.
