what's the error?

Make sure that whatever computer the mysql/php server is running on has opened port 3306 (MySql) and port 80 (webserver) in the firewall/router. This means the pages/database you'r hosting are accessible from other computers aswell - so make sure you have a secure password.

 

If, however, you only want to view the scripts from the computer hosting the server, then you don't need to open these ports and can just connect using host:localhost, username and password.

for sure should be a problem from your firewall.

Make sure the port 3306 is in u Firewall.
