dear all,
i am new to both php and mysql as well as unix/linux. my webserver has apache and php running linux. on a seperate linux machine, i have mysql installed, up and running.
i am able to telnet into my linux machine running mysql. infact, i am able to create and insert values into databases.
my problem is when i try to connect to this machine using a php file on my web server, my ie took ages before throwing me a time out pop out box like 15 mins later and there's no error mesg what so ever from php (web server) nor mysql (seperate server)
please help.
the code i used to connect is as follows
mysql_connect("xx.xxx.xx.xxx", "xxx", "xx") or die ("Could Not Connect");
but instead of returning me the "Could Not Connect error", my ie either stop responding or i get a time out pop out from ie after about 15 mins.
