Connecting to a remote linux dedicated database.

Hello i was just wondering if anyone knew how to do this - all the tutorials are for local databases.

Firstly i start creating a basic flex application although when i click next i have to select PHP under the services.

I have two options:

     Web root

     Root url.

I would expect root url to be the dedicated ip e.g.

http://46.32.125.125/

then web root i thought was just:

/public_html/

or

/public_html/folder

or

folder

ect. i tried all i could.. so then

another example told me to map a drive to it then link locally, so i did.. and i can access

the directory via the my computer and get into the folder so i dont know why it doesnt work when

i do the whole local path to the drive and folder.

Thanks
