Maybe someone can use this . I have multiserver setup, where Database server is different then webserver server1: ISPConfig webinterface, DNS, oldwebserver server2: mailserver, dbserver When you add Database in Sites=> Database menu, there is Remote Access IPs field (separate by , and leave blank for any) I don't like that access to mysql server is enabled by default from anywhere. Want to explicitly allow all accessing IPs . And i also need webserver to have allowed access to DB by default (my clients will never know what to fill into that field) It's easy: On Database server edit file /usr/local/ispconfig/server/plugins-available/mysql_clientdb_plugin.inc.php and change //if(trim($host_list) == "") $host_list = '%'; to if(trim($host_list) == "") $host_list = '1.2.3.4'; and also change //if(!is_array($host_list)) $host_list = explode(',', $host_list); to if(!is_array($host_list)) {$host_list = split(',', $host_list); $host_list[] = '1.2.3.4';} where 1.2.3.4 is adress of your webserver (or any server you want to allow acces to by default) You can check result in Privileges table in phpMyAdmin
In current svn version (3.0.5) the web-server that the database is assigned to is automatically added to the remote ips. Please do NOT use php function split as it is highly deprecated! Use explode instead.
There is no default access from everywhere. This field is used in combination with the remote access checkbox only, so the ddefault is that databases can be accessed from localhost only and not from everywhere.
sorry, didn't see that checkbox, i'm using modified template... .. happy is integrated in 3.0.5, i will not need change code after update
