dbConnect doesn't work

[MIKI785]

Hello,

I have a problem with dbConnect, it says: "dbConnect failed; Could not connect", why ?

Everything is ok, user, password DB name.. everything. It works with other programs.

handle = dbConnect( "mysql", "dbname=oh1588;host=92.240.***.**", MYSQL_USERNAME, MYSQL_PASSWORD ) 

I tried IP and DNS name, both doesn't work.

Btw. those stars are not in the code.

MYSQL_USERNAME and MYSQL_PASSWORD are defined strings, which are correct credentials.

Are you sure MySQL server is accepting external connections?

[MIKI785]

Yes, because it accept connections from my PC (software called HeidiSQL)

Here's an example of connecting to their mysql,
