<div dir="ltr">If the database is on the same system, then the IP is typically something like localhost's <a href="http://127.0.0.1">127.0.0.1</a>. If the DB is on the same system, try setting your <hostname> to "localhost" rather than an external IP.<br>
<br>From your batch of X's, it looks like that might not be the case. So if the DB is on another system, try the connection from the command line like:<br><br>mysql -uMyUser -pMyPassword -h XXX.XXX.X.XXX my_databasename<br>
