it is mysql.domainname.com:3306 you should connect to. I recomment you keep a local database for each of your location, local i mean on the same network. mysql connection from one location to another in the backend causes performance issue. you might consider replicating the same db all across your different locations. ----- Original Message ----- From: Doug Harvey To: users@httpd.apache.org Sent: Friday, June 20, 2008 5:17 PM Subject: RE: [EMAIL PROTECTED] MYSQL Domain ?
Rob. I would think that you would want to use a port number instead of a domain name. I think the port number is 3310, so you would have someone connect by going to: domainname.com:3310 Doug ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ From: Rob [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, June 20, 2008 2:01 PM To: users@httpd.apache.org Subject: [EMAIL PROTECTED] MYSQL Domain ? Hey there, wondering if some one could point me on the right direction. I have no idea what its actually called but i want to asign my MYSQL to a domain name. So instead of using local host they can use mysql.domainname.com Basically want this to make my database accessible to our other servers which are hosted at all diffrent places around the world. Could any one give me a brief idea on how this is done ? and the pro's and cons of it. I did trying searching for it but seams i dont actually know whats its properly called i came up with very little. I thinking this is done in apache ? im just guessing here thanks, rob
