Setting up a remote MySQL server

You can change the MySQL server from the local server ("localhost") to point to a remote server. This allows MySQL functions to be performed by another computer.

To set up a remote MySQL server:

1. Click on the Setup Remote MySQL server link in the MySQL menu.

2. Enter the name of the remote server in the Remote Mysql Host field and its password in the Remote Mysql Host's Root Password field.

   Note: Do not enter the root password for the remote MySQL server in the Remote Mysql Host's Root Password field.

3. Click on the Setup button.
