Connecting to HeidiSQL

development

Hello everyone,

I'm attempting to connect to MySQL database on my Linode using HeidiSQL but am receiving a connection error.

Here are the details I'm using:

* Network type = MySQL(TCP/IP)

Hostname = [My IP Address]

User = [My database user]

Password = [My database password]

Port = 3306</list>

I'd be grateful if anyone could point me in the right direction.

Many thanks

MySQL is most likely bound to localhost (which is good). You shouldn't allow public access to MySQL, you should connect via a SSH tunnel.
