Store manager and dynamic IP
 

Hi,

I would like to know whether anybody got store manager to work on a dynamic IP?
My ISP assigns dynamic IP but my hosting provider (EWD) needs my IP address to open a port in his firewall in order to access the MySQL database. So short of always changing his server setup (which is not an option), I cannot see a way to solve the riddle.

Any ideas

Thanks

Multiple options available

1. You can add your isp subnet (not exact ip address)
For CPanel it is done by adding ip's like 192.168.1.% where you should replace "192.168.1." with ips assigned by your isp's.

2. You can work via PHP MySQL Bridge
it doesn't have ip blocking, but little different behaviour - at least give it a try.

3. Work via SSH tunnel
This is a bit more complicated, will work if you have shell access to your box (assuming thats unix-based system - linux, bsd etc)

btw - I just added your question to MagneticOne FAQ system
