python - Peewee - Can't connect to MySQL server on host -

i'm developing flask based python app using peewee orm. connecting database being stored locally on machine , i'm trying transition connecting db remotely. i've set database in phpmyadmin via server's cpanel section.

the issue

i've set ip address able remotely access databases getting following error when attempt connect database:

traceback (most recent call last):   file "app.py", line 294, in <module>     models.initialize()   file "/users/wyssuser/desktop/dscraper/models.py", line 145, in initialize     database.connect()   file "/library/python/2.7/site-packages/peewee.py", line 2767, in connect     self.__local.closed = false   file "/library/python/2.7/site-packages/peewee.py", line 2688, in __exit__     reraise(new_type, new_type(*exc_value.args), traceback)   file "/library/python/2.7/site-packages/peewee.py", line 2766, in connect     **self.connect_kwargs)   file "/library/python/2.7/site-packages/peewee.py", line 3209, in _connect     return mysql.connect(db=database, **conn_kwargs)   file "/library/python/2.7/site-packages/pymysql/__init__.py", line 88, in connect     return connection(*args, **kwargs)   file "/library/python/2.7/site-packages/pymysql/connections.py", line 644, in __init__     self._connect()   file "/library/python/2.7/site-packages/pymysql/connections.py", line 869, in _connect     raise exc peewee.operationalerror: (2003, "can't connect mysql server on '142.157.25.22' ([errno 61] connection refused)") 

this portion of code references database connection:

app.py

if __name__ == '__main__':   models.initialize()   app.run(debug=debug, port=port, host=host) 

config.py

database = {   'db': 'my_dbname',   'host': '142.157.25.22',   'port': 3306,   'user': 'my_username',   'passwd': 'my_pswd', } 

models.py

from peewee import * import config  database = mysqldatabase(config.database['db'], host=config.database['host'], port=config.database['port'], user=config.database['user'], passwd=config.database['passwd'])  ...all of models related code  def initialize():   print 'starting db connection'   database.connect()   print 'connected'   database.create_tables([batch, company, user, post],safe=true)   database.close() 

i've tried connecting 'localhost' host doesn't seem work here, there different host should connecting to?
