PHP MYSQL Connect

[LunarSage]

Hello everyone, I have a unusual problem... I have my own MYSQL server but I cannot in any way get php scripts to connect to it. This has been going on for over a month now and x10 support has not helped. Here is one of the scripts im using to connect to it....
<?php

$options = array (
'DBHost' => 'xx.xx.xx.xx:port',
'DBUser' => 'xxxxx',
'DBPass' => 'xxxxx',
'DBName' => 'xxxxx',
'ServerName' => 'xxxxx',
'ServerURL' => 'xxxxx'
);

class sql {
function sql() {
global $options;

$this->connection = @mysql_connect($options['DBHost'],$options['DBUser'],$options['DBPass'])
OR die('MySQL Connection Error...');
mysql_select_db($options['DBName'])
OR die('Database selection Error...');
}

Any suggestions or help is greatly appreciated.

Do you have port forwarding set for your home network?

[LunarSage]

Yea im absolutely sure that my ports are forwarded, I also thought about moving my database to x10 so I could just put localhost and it would work... but still something like that I shouldn't be having this trouble...

class sql {
function sql() {
global $options;

$this->connection = @mysql_connect($options['DBHost'],$options['DBUser'],$options['DBPass'])
OR die('MySQL Connection Error...');
mysql_select_db($options['DBName'])
OR die('Database selection Error...');
}} 

I think you forgot the last ending bracket.

More likely I'd think x10's firewall is preventing any outgoing connections altogether; you may want to file a support ticket at http://support.x10hosting.com to see if there's a way to "whitelist" your ip/port so you can use your own sql database instead of one at x10.


Conversely moving it to x10'll solve the issue as well because localhost isn't blocked by the firewall

@sarvar
Yea your right I did miss that. Thanks

@Livewire
Yea I submitted a support ticket over a month ago and nothing has been done and this script is very vital to my site...I guess I just have to sit and wait longer since there is nothing I can do =/

You could create a xmlrpc server on your database server to fetch data...

The firewall on the server prevents connections other than localhost from connecting to the mySQL database. You may want to just import your database into the x10hosting database.

x10 won't let you import. They like inconveniencing people who don't start fresh with them.

1) Copy SQL from your export from your database.
2) Open PhpMyAdmin of your site.
3) Click on SQL and paste the SQL from your exported database.
