Hi,

I'm trying to make a new connection to a external database, it's not local,
so what is the direction I must write to connect to it? It is the www... or
I must write the IP of the server where it is stored?

Thanks!

Ángel
 
Hello,

mmm... I would go for the IP address, but... take care, first check if you
have remote access to the database, normally servers doesn't allow you to
open that connections (security issues), if you need to connect remote, the
provider should grant you access to connect.

Good Luck
Braulio
