 * Sorry for my bad English !
    I’m using OpenShift to create a MySQL host database
   for my wordpress website ( in another host ) , but when i config the wp-config.
   php file and type the right information in OpenShift , the WordPress can’t connect
   to the database ( Error establishing a database connection ) I’m sure all the
   information config is right , but i don’t know why my website can’t connect to
   the OpenShift MySQL database . Do you have any ideas for config wordpress to 
   connect with OpenShift MySQL ? Thanks you so much !

 * So your MySQL database is on a different server to your WordPress install?
 * I presume the MySQL DB allows remote connections? I believe the default is not
   to.
 * Also, for more information as to why it is not connecting, [enable debugging](http://codex.wordpress.org/Debugging_in_WordPress).
   You can then review the information in the /wp-content/debug.log file which should
   point you in the right direction.

 * I mean I want to use OpenShift to host my SQL DATABASE , and i redirect connect
   my website to it , I think’t it not impossible because the SQL server database
   in OpenShift may only support website hosted in it .
