[support] urgently need help for Site off-line error

[Nick Holden]

Some versions of MySQL default to only allowing local connections to the server. It's not clear from what you've written if, when you 'use a VM for this', the drupal install and the MySQL server are both on the VM. If not, you might need to alter the MySQL config to allow connections over the network from another machine. Not only that but you might need to change the GRANT command issued during the drupal set up, because if you grant permissions to a user @ a certain machine or IP those permissions do not apply if the user (in this case the drupal system) connects from a different machine or IP.

Hope that helps. I'm away from my desk so can't give exact advice, but that's what struck me when you mentioned using a VM.
