python connection to the database not connecting

Question

I have a simple question please

When I put data into the local host server's database via python, i do the following

db= MySQLdb.connect("localhost", "root", "pass", "Database")

Now i have just for a hostgator server which me and my friend share

The snapshot of the Cpanel's database section is as attached.

Now what should i input in the following code for connecting to the database

db= MySQLdb.connect( , , ,)

I have tried this but failed]

db= MySQLdb.connect("moeenmh.com","moeenmh_ahmed","<mypass>","moeenmh_ahmed")

The user I created for my self is moeenmh_ahmed and have a password for it]

Error is "Access denied for user 'moeenmh_ahmed'@'91.74.98.6' (using password: YES)")

Answer 1

Your database name has to be the full name, not just the _ahmed part. So it should be moeemnh_adhmed . Protocol should be 'TCP' for remote connections.

Also, check if you have configured MySQL for remote connections. So first try to connect to it using:
mysql -u moeenmh_ahmed -h moeenmh.com -p

And see this SO answer for setting up the privileges: https://stackoverflow.com/a/12844804/1431750 . Quoting:

You have to put this as root:

 GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'USERNAME'@'IP' IDENTIFIED BY 'PASSWORD'; 

where IP is the IP you want to allow acess and USERNAME is the user you use to connect

If you want to allow access from any IP just put % instead of your IP

and then you only have to put

 FLUSH PRIVILEGES 

or restart mysql server and that's it

Answer 2

I can see from the Cpanel screen shot that moeenmh_ahmed doesn't have access to moeenmh_ahmed DB. You can see in Cpanel documentation how to do it: http://docs.cpanel.net/twiki/bin/view/AllDocumentation/CpanelDocs/MySQLDatabases#Define a User's Privileges
