    Hi,

    You need to whitelist the MySQL server IP address in web contents server firewall and web server IP address in MySQL server firewall in order to access it. Make sure in the wp-config file you have used the MySQL server IP address as host instead of localhost.

    Thanks,

    Hi,

    If you have made proper changes in firewall and allowed MySQL server for remote connection then you have to make only necessary changes in wp-config.php file.

    Thanks,
