Hello,
I am running a very small local web-based / browser-based customer sign up platform. At the moment it is running on Wamp.
I am trying to connect to a database on Sever A on a local network running wampserver 3.1.4. I want to connect to the database on server A to populate a list of data on Server B. I want Sever B to have full access to the DB on Sever A.
From what I have researched I need to enable "Remote MySql" and allow the IP of Server B. However, this exact method is not possible with Wamp (it seems) as it seems to be a cPanel thing.
I understand how to write PHP script to connect to the DB remotely. I just don't understand how to allow access from a remote machine running its own instance of Wamp. If I allow the IP of the Sever B in my vhosts.conf script is that enough to allow it access to the Server A database?
Can anyone explain to me how to configure full access the DB on Sever A from Server B or lead me to an online resource?
Thanks for any help.
