I followed these directions to get the database and table configured. Which seems to have gone fine.

But when I enter the details in my Meteobridge I get the error in the attached screenshot. The details I entered are correct. I can log in to phpMyAdmin with the same credentials and view the table just fine.

Your database should permit remote insert for the user first and propably myslq server remote access should be enabled too.

I figured that If I could login to the phpMyAdmin interface remotely I was good to go. Had no idea that I had to allow remote access to the database itself. Working perfect now.
