RH 8.0 and mySQL

["Richard Humphrey" <richard multicam com>]

I have a default install of RH 8 and mySQL 3.23.15 (I think) and I can get
things to work just fine using PHP locally, but if I try from another server
to run some PHP scripts I am told that I am unable to connect. We have tried
using the hostname as well as the IP address in our scripts and also
plugging in the port number (as suggested) to no avail. We keep getting the
message that we are unable to connect to hostname.domain etc. I checked and
we are not running with the skip-networking option enabled so it shouldn't
be that. What else could be causing this problem?
