Remote MySQL server

Hi,

I am trying to setup a remote MySQL database server for use with Plesk. The server is running, and I have added it to the plesk control panel system. I can create new databases, users, etc. using the panel. I can also access via the Dbwebadmin in the control panel. I can also directly access it from the command line (using mysql and mysqladmin, etc.)

However, I am unable to access it from phpmyadmin that is installed under a domain on the main plesk server? The phpmyadmin works, because if I change it back to "localhost" instead of the IP address of the remote, it loads fine. I think it's a PHP permissions issue, but I have looked everywhere and can't find the problem.

All firewalls are disabled, and like I said I can access it fine from within the Plesk control panel.

Ideas?
 
Problem solved.

SELinux was running on the SQL server. I disabled that, rebooted, and everything is working perfectly.
