Can't connect to MySQL

[croivo]

I followed the tutorial on this link (http://lessons.runrev.com/m/4071/l/7003 ... l-database) but always get this error:

My server uses Cpanel version 11.52.0 (build 9) and MySQL version 5.5.45-cll-lve

If your database is hosted on webhosting, please make sure you allow remote access using your IP address.

Yes, I added "%" host to access the database... Still not working.

Try adding your IP address

It may well be that whatever you set up in cPanel the ISP will block traffic direct to those ports. See what your ISP support/FAQ have to say.

I contacted my hosting support... and they told me to use "SSH Tunnel". Any example of how to use that tunnel in Livecode?

[ghettocottage]

what OS are you using? An SSH tunnel from a mac or linux is fairly simple,and I have even wrote a little script that can be launched from LC that creates a tunnel
.. from Windows you would (I seem to recall) use a little free application called Putty.

It is also possible to use a different method of connecting to your database where you send requests to a middle-man like LiveCode Server or PHP.

Someone wrote a blog-post about doing that:

I'm on Windows...

That 'middle-man' idea sounds great... I'm gonna try that.

Tnx to all
