Dear All, I need some help. I`m trying to connect to MySQL using these script : <?php $dbHostname = "localhost"; $dbUsername = "root"; $dbPassword = ""; $dbName = "cms"; // Make connection to database // If no connection made, display error Message $dblink = mysql_connect($dbHostname, $dbUsername, $dbPassword) or die("Error !! Unable to connect to database"); // Select database or print error message if unsuccessful */ mysql_select_db($dbName) or die( "Unable to select database ".$dbName); ?> But if I changed the Hostname with the Server Name/IP Address (not using localhost), the error message become : Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect <http://tu-lip-nt4/CMS/forecast/function.mysql-connect> ]: Host '157.47.115.180' is not allowed to connect to this MySQL server in c:\wamp\www\CMS\forecast\includes\db_connection.php on line 10 Error !! Unable to connect to database What should I do? Thanks & Regards, Anita
