Support shared hosting / Remote MySQL installations
Shared Web hosts like Bluehost have Remote MySQL access but they don't give you access to opening ports like 8088 without giving them more money and upgrading to a business class. Would be nice to have a tool to support having remote databases without having to run PlasticSCM on that server (or at least making it function without requiring port 8088.)

Not a real issue but looks more like a question that was answered in the thread.

So, if I understand correctly:
* You want to run your Plastic server on one machine.
* And connect to a remote MySQL server on the cloud.Correct?
Well, you can customize the MySQL connection string by editing db.conf, so if the MySQL server is reachable somehow, you'll be able to connect to it.
If you want to make Plastic listen on a different port (not sure if I understood correctly) you can do it too, edit remoting.conf (or use the server configuration wizard).
Finally: I don't think accessing a MySQL server over the internet is a good idea at all, since you'll simply slow down the whole thing. Plastic runs frequent queries so creating extra latency will only kill performance.
I'd love to understand what are you really trying to achieve here so we can probably help you.
Thanks!
