    External MySQL connection - OBDC Driver?

    Hi, i when i attempted to launch my game server, with the following MySQL details it returned an error message, explaining the problem is either incorrect details or an uninstalled OBDC driver.

    //MySQL account username (default is "root")
    User=ollie_removed for security

    //Password for the username specified above for the database - same as the password entered into the MySQL Instance Config
    Password=removed for security

    //Name of the MySQL database (default is "vbgore")
    Database=ollie_removed for security

    //External IP of the MySQL host ("127.0.0.1" for hosted locally [on the same computer as the server])
    Host=74.86.133.24
    //Port of the MySQL database (default is "3306")
    Port=3306
    So i was wondering, is the host and port correct [If not what should i enter?] , or isn't OBDC 3.51+ Driver installed on x10Hosting Servers?

    if the script is hosted at x10, then you might wanna put 'localhost' as Host=
    minus the ' '

    External means it isn't located at localhost..
    Edit:
    Sorry for double post but i recieved confirmation is most likely wasn't OBDC. Any idea's on port/host?
