I want to set up my turnkey lamp appliance so that I can connect to mysql from another host using tools like mysql administrator, phprunner, etc. I have set up a user account for this, and set the 'hosts' to '%', but connection is still refused. I recall that allowing connections from other hosts is disabled as standard as a security precaution, but that doesn't worry me (this is a virtual test server on a private lan). Does anyone know how to enable access from another host?
