Hi

When I connect to my db on the server on-rev.com I get this error: unable to connect to the database: Unknown MySQL server host "frediger.on-rev.com"
All my parameters in revOpenDatabase are correct. Where is the problem? Any Idea?

put revOpenDatabase("mysql", "frediger.on-rev.com", "xxxxxx", "xxxxxx", "xxxxxx") into tResult

if tResult is a number then
put tResult into gConnectionID
answer info "Connected to the database." & cr & "Connection ID = " & gConnectionID
else
put empty into gConnectionID
answer error "Unable to connect to the database: " & cr & tResult
end if

Grüezi Fredi,

I xxxx-ed out the database name, your username and password!

No idea, just guessing, but maybe you need to add "www.frediger.on-rev.com"?
Modern internet browsers may be smarter than revdb and do NOT need this

Grüezi Klaus
and thank you for the xxx .

It is the server from runrev and it is exact the code from the example - but it does not function....

Hi emmefisch,
In your cPanel there is also a security setting in Remote MySql (Remote Database Access Hosts) make sure you have allowed your or everybody's (%) domain access.

Hi Simon
Thank you - i added % in the host list. But the error message is still the same...

Oooops, I have written my databaseaddress false - sorry! Now I get this error-message:
Unable to connect to the database: access denied for user xxx@% to database xxxx
the username and databasename ar correct
in the access host list i added %

Hi emmefisch,
Sorry, but this goes beyond liveCode.
I can tell you that I can successfully connect to MySQL via liveCode on on-rev.com.

I've just changed my UserName to something incorrect and I get the error message you see.
Double check your Database Name and Privileged User from cPanel MySQL Databases.

Hi Simon

Thank you for your help - i have found now the error (my error) I have forgotten to define the access-rights for the user. Now it does function. Thanx.

Regards, Fredi
