Database connection Errors – at wits end

    Greetings,

    I currently have wordpress installed on a linux server (WP, MySQL, PHP). When I try to access the database locally with a fully qualified domain name as DB_HOST, I have no issues.

    I also have wordpress installed on a remote server (WP, PHP, no DB). with the wp-config pointing at the DB on the local installation with the same credentials.

    I have enabled access for the db user and I have executed the following command on the DB server:

    setsebool -P httpd_can_network_connect=1

    Question, does this command need to be executed on both ends, or only on the DB server.

    When using telnet, I can connect bi-directionally with both servers.

    when I try to access the blog from the remote server, I get a database connection error.

    I am at my wits end. Does anyone have any advice or other places to check?

    Thanks,

    Wade

    UPDATE:

    I am able to connect to the remote mysql server via the linux command line.

    Still not able to connect to the server via wordpress.

    This command needed to be run on both servers

    setsebool -P httpd_can_network_connect=1
