boen_robot Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Yes and no.A MySQL server instance must run on a certain machine for you to be able to query it.If the MySQL server instance is on the same machine from which you'll be making queries, you can set your firewall to block the port this instance is running on. By default, this port (3306 by default) is blocked by your firewall, so no one can connect to the MySQL server from another computer. In other words, your server is not really "online" since no one else can connect to it.Check out your firewall's settings if you are not sure, or try to connect to the MySQL server from another computer.
