Using MySQL with GnuCash

[Hossain]

I did it  but GNUCash from remote PC can only use MySQL , when the Server PC
is not using another GNUCash ( two application at  d same time). When 
Server PC
is already running GNUCash, starting another GNUCash from client PC says 
"GUNCASH
couldnt obtain the lock for mysql://gunuser@192.168.0.102/gnucash. That 
database
maybe in use by another user, in which case you shoudnt open the 
database, What wud
u like to do? " It has 4 options- Open Read Only, Create New File, Open 
Anyway, Quit .
I dont know wat to do now. I want to use GNUCash at d same time from two 
PCs.
