I have a MySQL database in a 3rd party server. I am trying to access it from my local machine using PHP in Dreamweaver. However, I am getting the following error:
MySQL Error #2002: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host failed to respond.
Thank you.
It means you can't connect to the server. Check your connecting to the correct IP address and your firewall is configured to allow traffic.
