I believe that MySQL uses a particular port when connecting over a
network such as you're doing. I can't remember the exact port number,
but you can Google it. Just check that there's nothing blocking this
port either on your computer, the server, or the router/switch or
whatever else you are using to connect the computers on the network

Here's the weird part, I can connect to the mysql database server just

from the web server's command line so I'm pretty confident that it's

Any thoughts?

Well, for MySQL there are multiple user perms. In the user table you
may see multiple entries for, let's say root.
mysql> use mysql;
mysql> select host,user,password from user;
host user password
* root *22669F8A96AC3CE42B3E5E8087893840412E035F
localhost root
So, root, if accessing from localhost, requires NO paswword. But root,
accessing from any other host requires a password. Also, this could
have more host entries, but probably not by default.
If your db server is on a different host from your web server, this or
similar is most likely your problem.

Or, there is no * entry (all hosts). In which case you should add a
specific entry for your web server.
