I’m having trouble connecting to a remote database (mysql). I know that
my connection settings are correct, since I have a php app that is
connecting to the same database.
Are there any settings besides the following that I need in my database
config file? Any other suggestions?
No that’s about it…
when you say “having trouble”, could you be more specific? What’s the
error
stack say?
It says “A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not
properly respond after a period of time, or established connection
failed because connected host has failed to respond. - connect(2)”
No, checked it several times. It’s exactly the same as my php app is
using. Do you think that it could be something about the password (I
saw somewhere that Rails requires the new MySQL password hashing. This
MySQL DB is version 4.something not V5
