Ingress is multi-user software with a Client-Server model, which means it can be used by multiple users concurrently. This article will explain to you the steps to connect Ingress Client to Ingress Server smoothly.

Benefits
By following these steps, users will be able to log in to Ingress from Ingress Client effortlessly.

Process
(A)   Ingress version installed in the Client PC must be the same as the one installed in the Server PC.
For example, if you are running Ingress v3.0.4.9 in the server, you need to make sure that the Ingress Client is of the same version.

(B)  Enable Port 3000 and 3306 in Windows Firewall settings at both the Client and Server PC.

2)     Select Advance settings from the left panel.

8)     Repeat step 1-7 for Port 3000 and name it “Ingress Server 3000”

(C)   MySQL Instance Configuration Wizard
1)     In the Server PC, go to Start Menu, and search for MySQL Instance Configuration Wizard, and launch it.

 
2)     Un-tick the “Enable Strict Mode” option.

 
3) Enter your current “root” password at all 3 fields so that the root password will not change. Then, tick the “Enable root access from remote machines” option.

 
4)     Execute and wait until all 3 steps are completed.

1)     Go to Start Menu and search for Ingress DBInstaller, and launch it

2)     Key-in the “root”password of your database
