It seems that to access a mySQL database on my web host's servers from a Livecode program, I have to configure "Allowable hosts" in the database configuration. That can be an ip address or a domain name such as "@. mydomain.com"
The program in question will be used by perhaps a half dozen users, all from their home computers and likely using different internet providers so it appears every time I give the program to a new user, I will have to add either their ip address (if it's fixed) or a domain as above. Is this common practice when accessing mySQL on a host server? If so, is there a better way to set about accessing a mySQL database in these circumstances, perhaps using php scripts on the server instead of accessing the db directly with the LC database functions?
