Hi Terry,
had the same problem. I settled to ping the IP first before trying to connect
to the DB:
switch
case "mac" is in the platform
get shell("ping -q -o -c3 -t3"&&tIP)
if the result is not empty then
put the result into tError
end if
break
case "win" is in the platform
set the hideConsoleWindows to true
local tShell
put ("ping -n 1 -w 100 "&tIP) into tShell
get shell(tShell)
if the result is not empty then
put the result into tError
end if
break
end switch
if tError is not empty then
-- can not connect to server
end if
Even though you can not be sure, that mySQL is really up and running, you will
at least know if the server is there. Hope that helps a little.
Cheers,
