VPN MYSQL

Hi everyone,

I have installed OpenVPN to access a server through the internet. This works fine. I see the shares. I can run programs etc.

I´m running mysql on the same server. I can access the database localy and over the internet.

BUT: If I try to access the database through VPN I can´t connect.

Does anyone know why?

Thanks for any help.

Michael

perhaps you should attach the mysql error message. try looking in the mysql tablespace, and check that you user is also allowed from the vpn ip address.

Not knowning the mysql error, i don't consider this to be a vpn problem.

Hi Adam, thanks for your help. my VPN adress is 192.168.13.1 the error is: ERROR 2003 (HY000); Can´t connect to MySQL server on '192.168.13.1' (10060)

The user I use has permission to access from everywhere (%) and is only once in the userlist.

When I´m working on the server I can access the DB through 192.168.13.1

as I told VPN works but from my home computer

"C:\\Programme\\MySQL\\MySQL Server 4.1\\bin\\mysql.exe" -h 192.168.13.1 -u michaelbeecken -p

does not work. As well I tried other users, that are in the userlist.

Strange isn´t it?

Thanks again
