Connection Problems

MySQL-Front reports connection problems: "Can't connect to MySQL server on 'www.server.com' (10060)". What can I do?

·Check the network connection to the server.  
·Check your Internet connection and your firewall.  
·Find out and solve other problems why MySQL-Front is not able to create a network connection to the database server.  
·Read the MySQL manual: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/Can_not_connect_to_server.html  

I get the error message from the database: "Access denied for user: username@123.yourprovider.com" (1044). What can I do?
Please be sure to enter exactly the login information (user, password and database) you received from your database administrator (often your ISP).  
 
If this does not help you, please contact your ISP and ask if you are allowed to login from your local client to the database on your account. Frequently, the ISP does not permit this. In this case, you may be able to connect by using a HTTP Tunnel or a SSH Tunnel.  
 
Additional information is listed in the MySQL manual: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/Access_denied.html  

MySQL-Front reports connection problems #1130: "Host '123.yourprovider.com' is not allowed to connect to this MySQL server". What can I do?
Some database administrators (ISPs) permit access to the MySQL database not from all computers due to reasons of security. This means MySQL-Front cannot access the database normally.  
 
This problem can be circumvented with the usage of so-called HTTP Tunnel or a SSH Tunnel.  

Why does MySQL-Front not support connections via SSL?
The protocol between the client (MySQL-Front f.e.) and the server allows to SSL - but if the server doesn't support SSL - like the very most servers - the client is not available to find out this issue of the server.  
 
The HTTP tunnel supports https connections using SSL.
