It should work if you enter 'www.example.com:5432' in the address field, instead of just 'www.example.com' although I have never tried that.
One other possibility: see what happens if you translate 'www.example.com' to a numeric IP address before connecting. You can do this using the hostNameToAddress function.

James,

Yes, I know these stacks.
But the MySQL.tests stack doesn't include the situation
where MySQL isn't configured on port 3306...

Thanks anyway,
JB


JB -

I would suggest trying Sarah's MySQL Rev code. It really helped me get
a jump start on connecting Rev to MySQL (running on MacOSX Panther).
Here's Sarah's MySQL stacks:

Be sure to check out Sarah's explanations of these stacks here:

plus many other useful stacks (Thank you, Sarah!).

Hi list,

Still fighting with databases connections...

I'm trying to open a connection to MySQL using
revOpenDatabase in the IDE and I get this error :

Can't connect to MySQL server on 'www.example.com:5432' (61)

ALTHOUGH IT WORKS WITH the DB Query
Builder (connection status : connected) !!!!

MySQL is configured on port 5432, which is open in
the firewall.
Here's the script I'm using :

on mouseUp
  put "root" into myUSR
  put "******" into myPWD
  revSetDatabaseDriverPath "/Macintosh HD/Desktop Folder/Revolution
2.5/components/global
environment/database_drivers/MacOSX/dbmysql/Contents/MacOS/dbmysql"
  get
revOpenDatabase("MySQL","www.example.com:5432","myDB",myUSR,myPWD)

  put it
end mouseUp

In the archives, I found a msg from someone saying
that "root" isn't accepted by MySQL as user on a
distant machine, but in that case why does it work
in the DB Quary Builder ?

What am I missing or doing wrong ?

Thanks,
JB
