Configuring remote MySQL access in cPanel allows you to connect to your MySQL databases from external applications or servers. This can be useful if you want to manage your databases using a desktop application or if you have multiple servers that need to access the same database.
To configure remote MySQL access in cPanel, follow these steps:
- Log in to your cPanel account.
- Scroll down to the Databases section and click on "Remote MySQL":
- In the "Add Access Host" section, enter the IP address or hostname of the server or application that you want to grant access to.
- Click on the "Add Host" button to save the changes.
Once you have added the access host, you will be able to connect to your MySQL databases remotely using the provided credentials. Make sure to update your application or server configuration with the correct hostname, username, and password.
It's important to note that enabling remote MySQL access can pose security risks, so it's recommended to only allow access from trusted sources and to use strong passwords for your MySQL users.
By following these steps, you should be able to configure remote MySQL access in cPanel and connect to your databases from external applications or servers.
