Dreamweaver MX and MySQL

[Tom B]

I've just started playing with Dreamweaver MX and wanted to use my flump webspace to host a mySQL database. The problem is I can't seem to get my local copy of Dreamweaver to be able to access the remote SQL database. It connects to flump, and tries to authenticate, but it drops out with the following error:

1045 Access denied for user: '<username>@<IP Address>' (Using password: YES)

Where username and ipaddress are the username I set up for the DB and the IP of my flump domain.

I'm guessing the problem is with the access hosts, but I've added the address of my machine in so I can't really see what the problem is... anyone else got any ideas???

Thanks,

T

Assuming you've added your hostname into the allowed hosts for mysql in your cpanel, you might need to add the IP for your hostname in there too - sometimes it needs both.
