Hugh Brown Posted July 6, 2017 Report Share Posted July 6, 2017 I am trying to install Revive-Adserver but it is failing on connection to the cloud database (the database is NOT localhost). I wonder if connections to off-site databases works and how this can be configured, Thanks Hugh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian vM Posted July 6, 2017 Report Share Posted July 6, 2017 At the installation process, the software will ask for the database host, there you just fill in the ip or hostname of the database server. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Brown Posted July 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2017 yes. It have done that. Just wanted to ensure this is a possibility. I have installed a server under localhost but not using a remote database. Currently getting 'cannot connect to database' looks a bit like: [database] type=mysql host=theremotehos.clouddb.com socket="/Applications/MAMP/tmp/mysql/mysql.sock" port=3306 username=databaseuser password=securepassword name=databasename persistent= mysql4_compatibility=1 protocol=tcp compress= ssl= capath= ca= But it's not connecting... don't know why Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian vM Posted July 6, 2017 Report Share Posted July 6, 2017 Yes it's definitely possible. If it can't connect, then most likely the cause is that either the credentials are incorrect, or there is a firewall blocking the connection. andrewatfornax 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
