node.js - nodejs with node-mysql remote connection -

i have issue maybe can help me with: i'm trying build nodejs server, working laptop, using node-mysql, , trying create remote connection database.

function foo (callback) { // connect database var mysql = require('mysql'); var connection = mysql.createconnection({ host: <ipaddress>, user: "test_developer", password: "test_developer", database: "test3" }); connection.connect(function(err){ if (err){ console.log("cannot connect database"); console.log(err); } else { console.log("connected database"); } }); }; // implementation foo(function(err, result){ console.log("never made here"); });

this times out with: cannot connect database { [error: connect etimedout] code: 'etimedout', errno: 'etimedout', syscall: 'connect', fatal: true }

i believe database ok, can connect myphpadmin browser.

what doing wrong?
