This is a bluehost question posted by eouw0o83hf on 06 January 2009

I know this is a total noob question, but I’m new to bluehost and fairly new to MySQL (but not to databases/web development in general); I can’t seem to get connected to the server from my computer.

I have created a database and added a user for it with necessary permissions; I need some help with the server host to connect to. Now I’m using MySQL Query Browser 1.2.15 with following connection info:

Server Host: mydomainname.com
Port: 3306
Username: database_username
Password: password
Default Schema: database

Is there something obvious I’m missing here? I went over the documentation provided by bluehost and couldn’t find anything helpful in connecting to the database server. Am I going about this in completely the wrong way?
