Setting up a Remote MySQL Server

Hello,

I am trying to setup a remote mysql server in whm.
It says that is successful when doing so but when i try
to access mysql in a regular cpanel account no databases
show up and when I create a new database nothing happens.
What do I need to do to get a remote mysql server setup?
What configurations? I have copied all the databases over
to the new mysql server and verifed usernames and passwords
on the new mysql server. ???????


many thanks,
