Hi Martin,

I'm trying to connect to my database which is hosted by oneandone.co.uk. I'm
using the database query builder in RR.


I set the name (Contact),
host (db141.oneandone.co.uk) - this is the actual server name
Database (dbxxxxxxxx),
User (dboxxxxxxxx)
Password (xxxxxxxx)

When I try to press the connect button I get an error "Unknown MySQL Host
'db141.oneandone.co.uk' (11004)'


I am able to connect to the database in PHP MyAdmin without any problems!

The only thing I can think of that could be causing this is the syntax of
the host name!! maybe I'm wrong, has anyone had this problem?


When I tried to find the IP address for "db141.oneandone.co.uk", I got nothing. However I was able to get an address for "oneandone.co.uk" using the hostNameToAddress() function.

If the Rev database query builder uses the hostNameToAddress function before trying to connect, it isn't going to work for the host name you have supplied. What happens if you use just "oneandone.co.uk"?

When you connect using PHP, does it use the standard MySQL port (3306)? If not, you need to add this to the host name e.g. oneandone.co.uk:12345 where 12345 is my imaginary port number.

HTH,
Sarah
