I was going to give a close friend of mine a database so he could use it to install nucleus to his website. So I configures everything through cpanel, made a new database, user and all that. Afterwards I added his domain's ip addresses and actually every IP address in the subnet using the "%" operand as was written. However we still couldn't have nucleus to install. after we enter all the information to the installer it says for example something along the lines of:

"katrina.aplushosting.com" is not allowed to connect to this MySQL databse

Is this feature there but turned off to prevent other sites nicking from trap17 MySQL?
Or is it not working?
Or am I missing something?

I do remember it working some time ago though, when I ran a forum script from another site for a day or two till I migrated the whole thing to trap17...

i dont think you are allowed to connect to the database from an external source( is that possible anyway?).... .


but why dont you install the nucleus thing on your account and link the whole thing do a url forwarder

well yes, just putting the whole thing on my trap17 account is a possibility, I'm just wondering why this doesn't work, it is there for this purpose afterall...

I actually found out what was wrong... the server is not trap17.com but rather the IP displayed on your cpanel home screen. After we changed that everything started working.
