Enable another host connect to our MySQL Server

In some condition we need to separate between database server from server which the application running on it. In MySQL version 5.1.33-community the default configuration only allow incoming connection from localhost or the machine itself.  In that condition any mysql client applications in another host can't access to the MySQL server. We need to modify configuration in the MySQL server in order to enable another allowed to create connection. The following instruction  is what I did to solve this problem:

If phpmyAdmin was installed  and running well

1. Open any web browser, and then access the phpmyAdmin Application, for example http://172.16.223.132/phpmyadmin



2. Select Privileges from tabs menu



3. Select the user who want to allow connect from anaother host



4. Modify host value from "localhost" to "any host"



Note:

if you are advanced user who familiar with SQL language or command line,  you can do this with DML (Data Manipulation Language) command to user table in mysql database.
