MySQL trouble

[GrixDB]

What's the address of my mysql server? I've tried grixdb.exofire.net, the website address, but I can't connect.

[Starshine]

Did you try localhost?

[nomore]

localhost should work
if not, try exofire.net
if thats not working, rewrite the script

localhost does work for my site on exofire.net, so that would be the right then I assume

[GrixDB]

Yeah, I tried, but I think the problem is that it's not finding the server at all, as if it's wrong address.. It is username.exofire.net right?

[nomore]

write you code here (put * where pass is)

How are you trying to connect to the MySQL server? Is it from a script or program on the server itself, or from a remote place?

[GrixDB]

It is an .exe. I use a .dll as a brigde to mysql. I don't think you know the programming langunage..

if !gmsql_init()
{
show_message(gmsql_errormessage())
break
}
if !gmsql_connect("grixdb.exofire.net","grixdb_grix"," *","grixdb_game")
//(address of server, username, password, database)
{
show_message(gmsql_errormessage())
break
}

Are you connecting remotely? If so we need to add your IP to the firewall. We don't allow open connections to the MySQL server.

[GrixDB]

Ah ok. I didn't know.
