The website is actually hosted on HostGator but the SQL tables are on Asura, would there still be any port problems if I was only relying on Asura for the SQL? As hostgator had no problems connecting to the old SQL host.
I have already done that, that is how my rAthena server is able to work with the new SQL.
well i just know i had the same problem, i had to tell my hosting company (namecheap) to open the ports for vps and then it worked :>
