[horde] remote mysql db for prefs

[Michael J Barber]

Hello,
  I am using the latest versions (downloaded 2 days ago) of horde/imp (best to
get the basics working first).  I have the setup running and I can get into my
mail and such.  However, I get an error:

A fatal error has occurred:

DB Error: connect failed

[line 108 of /var/www/mail_myinetmail_net/html/horde/lib/Prefs/sql.php]

Details have been logged for the administrator.

This is the settings I have made in horde.php in the config directory.

 ** Preference System Settings
 **/

// What preferences driver should we use? Valid values are 'none'
// (meaning use system defaults and don't save any user preferences),
// 'session' (preferences only persist during the login), 'ldap',
// and 'sql'.
$conf['prefs']['driver'] = 'sql';

// Any parameters that the preferences driver needs. This includes
// database or ldap server, username/password to connect with, etc. 
// $conf['prefs']['params'] = array();

// This is an example configuration for a MySQL preference backend.
// The SQL script to setup the preference database is placed in
// horde/scripts/db/prefs.sql.
$conf['prefs']['params']['phptype'] = 'mysql';
$conf['prefs']['params']['hostspec'] = '192.168.5.250';
$conf['prefs']['params']['port'] = '3306';
$conf['prefs']['params']['username'] = '*****';
$conf['prefs']['params']['password'] = '*****';
$conf['prefs']['params']['database'] = 'horde';
$conf['prefs']['params']['table'] = 'horde_prefs';


I currently have the entire setup running on the remote box.. so I know it works
.  I really just wanted to move horde/imp to a dedicated webserver and let the
other machine do the mail and database work.

Thanks,
