MySQL remote access...

[pixelbat]

Hi there... new to Sentora and really love it. Except I'm running into issues accessing databases remotely. Currently running Sentora on Ubuntu 14.04 32bit (Digitalocean 512MB VPS).

So my situation is that I'm hosting a few websites, one is Minecraft related. We also have a Minecraft server that is hosted elsewhere, but needs remote access to the websites database to pull user data. The config for our Minecraft server is really straightforward, not really any different than your typical forum install...

Code:

 # Hostname for your MySQL Server
 hostname:
 # MySQL Port
 port: 3306
 # Database Name
 name:
 # Database Username
 username:
 # Database Password
 password:

So I have all the correct variables mirroring our db/user info from Sentora, and the user is granted remote access to the IP the Minecraft server is running on. It should work, but it's not. We get this error in our Minecraft server's console... [09:13:03 ERROR]: [CommunityBridge] Could not connect to MySQL Server:Communications link failure.

I've set the bind address to 0.0.0.0, and made sure 3306 is open in the firewall. I really don't know what else to do. Admittedly this is all rather new to me, as up until last week this set up was running off some budget shared hosting :\

Any advice/help is appreciated. Thank you.
