Local php-mysql install not connecting to remote db?

Question

I'm trying to connect to a remote database from my local machine, and php is throwing a nice vague error, so I was hoping someone with a bit more experience in this area could point me in the right direction. The error I'm getting:

Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Connection refused in /my/obfuscated/directory/config.php on line 10
Could not connect: Connection refused

Answer 1

Your error is "Connection refused". So, remote sever refuse your request.
Try to configure remote server to allow your connection
