Connecting to remote MySQL database from local LAMP through a university proxy

Question

I have LAMP set up on my laptop for working on a web app for a project at university.

If I have the web app connect to a local MySQL database, all is fine and the app connects to the database.

However, if I specify a remote database, the app will load for a while before displaying this error:

Warning: mysqli::mysqli() [mysqli.mysqli]: (HY000/2003): Can't connect to MySQL server on '176.32.230.14' (110) in /home/ben/site/inc/db.php on line 2
Connect Error (2003) Can't connect to MySQL server on '176.32.230.14' (110)

and stops at this section of code:

if ($mysqli->connect_error) {
    die('Connect Error (' . $mysqli->connect_errno . ') ' . $mysqli->connect_error);
}

The remote database connection only fails when I am at my university connected to the WiFi and proxy.

I believe the proxy is the likely cause for my problem.

So, do I need to set up Apache to some how connect to the proxy?

嘿，听起来好像您可能无法通过mysql端口（3306）连接。
