(Answer) (Category) polarhome.com FAQ : (Category) database problems :
are databases reachable from every host?
polarhome MySQL databases are created with default values: username: users username database: users username hosts: localhost password : randomly created password that is not equal with user chosen ftp/shell password.
It means that user can access its database just from the localhost - running on that particular box.
Therefore mysql TCP port is not defined on most boxes and MySQL uses just socket communictaion - that implies that these databases are not reachable from any other machine.
