Rob,

I'd try to connect using one of the available third party SQL clients from the net such as MacSQL or mySQLAdmin. If you can connect from such clients, then you'd be sure the problem is on Rev side or if you can't connect, then you'd better bug your ISP.

I'm having a rough time getting revOpenDatabase to work on a mySQL database that I am presently hosting at www.simplehost.com. I've checked the ports on simplehost, and they claim that the port is 3306 for mySQL. I've written lots of php scripts which successfully pull data from the database locally on the server. It's just the standalong application in Rev that's the roadblock at the moment. I've even downloaded the excellent MySQL tests demo, and it's
not connecting either.

The only variables I can think of that might be causing problems:

1)   simplehost.com is blocking access from the outside
2)   perhaps I need to try the SSL settings
3) perhaps it's something I'm doing wrong in the way I'm passing data into
the revOpenDatabase command

Partially, I don't trust my ISP, but partially, I don't trust me either - - -
any help is greatly appreciated

revOpenDatabase ("MySQL","www.simplehost.com","mytestDB',robtest,<pass>)
