Anybody Using Goddady to Host their Database?

Classic Servoy

I’m having problems linking to my database hosted with GoDaddy.

Is anybody using them to host their Servoy database?

Is the port 3306 of the server opened?
Because this is the default port that MySQL uses.

You should ask them about it.
Most hosts don’t allow direct access to this port for obvious security reasons, they will give you a web access (like phpMyAdmin) instead.
If Godaddy doesn’t allow a socket connection on the MySQL server, then you will not be allowed to use Servoy with this DB.

They do have an option for direct access but it requires moving my account to another server.

From what you are saying this might be my problem.

Thanks!

I haven’t been able to find any instructions on installing Servoy on a hosted server.

Can you help point me in the right direction?

Hi John,

Did you ever find a solution for this?

I know that Servoy is on AMI (Amazon EC2). What you want should be doable via AMI. Using Amazon’s Elastic Cloud you can instantly host Servoy applications. I know that, but I haven’t tried it. I know that Sean Devlin (from Servoy USA) did a demonstration long ago about this.

These are some of the steps to host your solution on AMI.

To launch an instance of the AMI:

  1. log into your AWS Console and select AMIs.
  2. Search in public AMIs for AMI ID = ami-2fc82146
  3. Right-click the image and launch it.

That’s all I have. Contact Sean Devlin and ask him about this. He should be able to point you in the right direction.
