Settings for connecting to remote mysql

[Havouza]

Hi!

The shop today connect to a local msql server. But we want to change that and connect to a remote one. I have donee all preparations and the user is approved and tested. But how should it look in settings.inc?

_DB_SERVER_', 'localhost');
define('_DB_NAME_', 'db_jv74');
define('_DB_USER_', 'jxxxx');
define('_DB_PASSWD_', 'xxxxxxxx');

Obviously "localhost" for _DB_SERVER_ will have to be replaced by some server name. 

Note that not all database servers accept such external access.

Well our mysql server do that. It only has to do with the bind address. And as said I have already tested the user from remote, the question is if just the username is enoughj because when you test it you use user@ip
