Getting same error when checked localhost to point to external host

What do you mean &quot;checked localhost to point to external host&quot;? &nbsp;Did you mean checked-&gt;changed? &nbsp;Can you take a screen capture of your HeidiSQL configuration?

What do you mean "checked localhost to point to external host"?  Did you mean checked->changed?  Can you take a screen capture of your HeidiSQL configuration?

Hi all,<br />
<br />
I have added my external IP address via cPanel in order to be able to access my online MySQL server and using HeidiSQL client I'm trying to connect to it but I'm getting this error:<br />
<br />
SQL Error (2003): Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061)<br />
<br />
I'm using TCP IP to connect.<br />
<br />
Any ideas anyone please?<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />
