I’m installing wordpress and I’d like to use a web mysql database rather than a local one. Is this possible? I used the same exact credentials for an already existing web wordpress installation with no luck.

If your web server allows remote MySQL connections, then yes. Just set your
DB_HOSTin wp-config.php correctly.
