Shilpa: What may be the host address of mysql server

[shilpa.agarwal]

Hello,

My mysql database resides on the server. I have to connect it by navicat or other conversion tool. But there is some problem of host address. It shows the incorrect host address or port no. It seems that host address is wrong. What may be the host address of mysql server.
Plz help me

Thanks.

If you are running navicat from the same machine as the MySQL server, then localhost or 127.0.0.1 will work, otherwise the external ip address of the server in question will be the MySQL server's host address, however you may have to grant access privilege to the username you are using to the other machine's host trying to connect.
