backpurge Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 Hi, I've set up OSC multiple times before but have never needed to do this. Pretty much I have a customer with a web hosting company that they want to stick with but they don't offer MySQL databases. I figured I could just install the /catalog files on their server and then host the database on our server. So I did that but when I go to install and input our database server/username/password it uses the localhost instead of the database server IP I put into the form. Ex. OSC /catalog files installed on domain.com 55.66.777.888 - Database Server username - Database Username password - Password db_name - Database Name And I get this - --------------------------- There was a problem connecting to the database server. The following error had occured: Access denied for user 'username'@'domain.com' (using password: YES) Please verify the connection parameters and try again. --------------------------- So it uses domain.com even though I put in the IP address 55.66.777.888. I've also tried it using the our server name mysql.domain.com but that didn't work either. These values always worked when I had the /catalog files on the same server as the database. Any ideas? Thanks! David
