how do I find the mysql server name in cpanel? I need it for sequel pro

Question

I'm trying to setup my databases in Sequel Pro (a mysql app). Localhost won't do. Any idea how I can get server name?

Answer 1

您应该能够使用服务器的IP地址或主机名。

Answer 2

Your MySQL server name is often te same as your website domain (eg example.com ).

From http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/connection-access.html :

Your identity is based on two pieces of information:

• The client host from which you connect
  
• Your MySQL user name

So even if you've know your host, you have to allow remote connections with a specified user. Please see this guide for that. Your IP address could be entered as host.

Answer 3

尝试您的网站域名，同时检查mysql服务器是否允许远程连接。
