Just supply the IP / hostname of the remote machine in your database connection string, instead of localhost
. For example:
jdbc:mysql://192.168.15.25:3306/yourdatabase
Make sure there is no firewall blocking the access to port 3306
Also, make sure the user you are connecting with is allowed to connect from this particular hostname. For development environments it is safe to do this by 'username'@'%'
. Check the user creation manual and the GRANT
manual.
