Graham, i just did a quick test on Diesel, which is the server where your account is hosted, and DB connections are working.
Maybe a dumb question, but are you in any case trying to connect to the MySQL DB from your Livecode App/IDE ? If so you need to 1. configure „Remote MySQL “ in cPanel to allow the "remote access" to your DB. 2. use the following servername for connection YOURACCOUNTNAME.on-rev.com if using localhost for the server the LC app/IDE tries to connect to a MySQL DB on your computer instead of connecting to your On-Rev MySQL DB. Warning: Please be aware that configuring remoteAccess for MySQL for your on-rev account is a security risk and should be avoided. If you tried to connect from a LC server script then either your script is wrong or the On-Rev server is having some problems, maybe only with your account. Try the following script. Create a file e.g. dbtest.lc, put the sample script into it and upload it to your public_html folder and open it in your browser: http://YOURACCOUNTNAME.on-rev.com/dbtest.lc If the output is a number then connection works, otherwise you will see an error message in your browser <?rev set the errormode to "inline" put revopendatabase("MYSQL","localhost“,"YOURDBANME“,“YOURDBUSERNAME not your accountname“,“YOURDBUSER PASSWORD") into tDBID put tdBID repeat for each item i in revopendatabases() revclosedatabase i end repeat ?> Regards, Matthias > Am 08.04.2015 um 20:28 schrieb Graham Samuel <livf...@mac.com>: > >> Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
