Confused, which MySQL database to connect to: local (WAMP), or remote?

Hello, new to dynamic sites, have successfully installed WAMP and set up my local/testing/remote sites in DW CS4. Most tutorials I've found recommend making the "MySQL Connection" in Dreamweaver to the local (WAMP) installation of MySQL, which I am able to do. But my remote site already has an existing MySQL database and tables. So should I be making the MySQL Connection to the remote database instead? Or exporting the remote server's database and importing it locally for development purposes? What's the best practice?
If making the connection to my local database is recommended, how do I transfer any changes that I make on my local db to the remote database? Do I need to export locally & import to the remote db, using phpmyadmin, every time I make changes to the local database?
If making the connection to my remote database is recommended, I have 2 questions: 1) do I even need my local WAMP MySQL database for anything? and 2) I was able to connect to my remote MySQL, (first got "MySQL ERROR 1045 Access Denied", but then went into my remote server via CPanel, found the "Remote MySQL" function, and entered my long current domain name as a new Access Host), but since I'm at a home office without a static IP, will I have to keep going into CPanel and entering in a new Access Host every time my IP address changes?
Apologies for the confusion. Any pointers to recommended best practices would be much appreciated.

Update: my IP address changed slightly yesterday and I was denied remote MySQL access again. Went back to CPanel and modified my Access Host domain with a few wildcard characters (blah-blah-blah-%%%%.dsl.bell.ca). That got me back in. Is this what most people who want remote MySQL access do? Is it a (significant) security risk?
Or do most people without static IPs just not bother with remote MySQL access?

Conntect to MySQL Database

Hello SAP Community!
I need a connection to a MySQL database from SAP. I read the post from Gudmundur Karlsson, How can I connect to MySQL external database, and followed his description. He said that we should use MSSQL as DBMS, but I am not able to connect to a MySQL Database.
Firstly, I installed the MySQL Connector/ODBC 5.1.6 and set up an ODBC connection called TEST on the Application Server in the control panel -> administrative tools. The connection test was successfully.
After that I made an entry in the transaction DBCO with the following details, based on the post from Gudmundur Karlsson:
Connection Name: MYSQL
DBMS: MSS
Username and Password from the MySQL Database.
Connection info: MSSQL_DSN=TEST
Then I wrote the following report to test the connection:
PARAMETERS: p_dbs TYPE dbcon-con_name DEFAULT 'MYSQL'.
EXEC SQL.
CONNECT TO :p_dbs
ENDEXEC.
WRITE: sy-subrc.
The sy-subrc is always 4.
Has anybody an explanation, how I can connect to a MySQL Database.
Kind regards!

Hi,
SAP System in which DBCO entry is maintained is running on which OS Platform ?
Required DLL (DBMSSSLIB.DLL) has been put in SAP Instance's Kernel executable directory (If SAP system is running on Windows platform)?
Have you referred this Useful [SAP Note 323151 - Several DB connections with Native SQL|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/323151] and [SAP Note 738371 - Creating DBCON multiconnect entries for SQL Server|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/738371] ? Read them and do the required configuration settings if any one is missing.
As per SAP Note 738371,
The application server(s) where a DBCON connection is used must be running Windows,
and they must have the MS SQL Server DBSL library dbmssslib.dll installed in the run directory (/sapmnt/<SAPSID>/exe).
If your database platform is not SQL Server, then this DLL must be downloaded from the SAP Service Marketplace for your R/3 kernel version.

How to get the data from mysql database which is being accessed by a PHP application and process the data locally in adobe air application and finally commit the changes back in to mysql database through the PHP application.

How to get the data from mysql database which is being accessed by a PHP application and process the data locally in adobe air application and finally commit the changes back in to mysql database through the PHP application.

If the data is on a remote server (for example, PHP running on a web server, talking to a MySQL server) then you do this in an AIR application the same way you would do it with any Flex application (or ajax application, if you're building your AIR app in HTML/JS).
That's a broad answer, but in fact there are lots of ways to communicate between Flex and PHP. The most common and best in most cases is to use AMFPHP (http://amfphp.org/) or the new ZEND AMF support in the Zend Framework.
This page is a good starting point for learning about Flex and PHP communication:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/flex_php.html
Also, in Flash Builder 4 they've added a lot of remote-data-connection functionality, including a lot that's designed for PHP. Take a look at the Flash Builder 4 public beta for more on that: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashbuilder4/

Create Connection to MYSQL database which is on server using Dreamweaver CC

Hello,
I created a site using Dreamweaver CC and i have used the FTP server for this. Now i want to connect it to the database that i created on my server with the table. I am unable to figure out what IP address should i provide to connect to the database as my database is not running locally. I have added the screenshot as well. Kindly help me.

Hi,
you can't export and improt database simultaneously. like as said Mr. Ben Pleysier.
Actually it's possible but I would recommend using this method. This method is more confidence. because you have two database file (your pc and remote server) and we are backed up files at the same time
you can export and import database manually.
firstly we export database file at local computer. (This process will be done on the local computer. localhost)
you can see an examples below images.
localhost php my admin panel on my pc
1.
2.
We have record database file on the computer.
and going to remote server php my admin panel. for import to database file.
Remote Server Php My Admin Panel

I hope I could help.

I can't get my website to connect to mysql database hosted on my yahoo site

I used David Powers tutorials to build a CMS website in Dreamweaver using a testing site set up on my computer. I installed XAMPP and got it working on my computer. (I have a Windows 7 PC with Dreamweaver CS6)
Now I have installed the mysql database on my remote site following the instructions in the help section of Yahoo Small Business, where my website is hosted. I recreated the same database on the myPHPAdmin on my remote site. (If I understood what I found out when searching for a solution, Yahoo doesn't allow me to see the database from Dreamweaver. It seems that I have to make sure the connections are correct and then upload my site to the remote server. Then it should work once up)
Following the instructions I could find on Yahoo it seems that all I needed to do was make sure that the user name and password were the same as on my local computer and change the my Sql Server in the Server Connection in Dreamweaver CS6 to mysql instead of localhost, upload my website and it should connect. When I go to my webpage online I get "No database selected".
I know html, css, some php, and mysql.
I have been using Dreamweaver for approximatley 2 years and have created 2 successful websites for my husband, who is a photographer. He now wants to have a blog type news website and since I couldn't get Wordpress to do what he wanted to do I decided to create a CMS website. It works great on my computer, but now I need it to work on my remote site.
I know it's probably something really stupid that I have overlooked and I would really appreciate any help I could get.
I'm more than happy to learn whatever I need to learn to get this done. I have been searching all kinds of forums and I can find a lot of posts about this or a similar problem, but no solutions.
Please let me know if I need to provide more information.

I'm sorry, the way I wrote that was confusing. In mysql it suggested you create a new user that had limited access to access each database you created, rather than use the root user which had all permissions. So in both the mysql on my computer and the mysql on my website I created a user with the same username and password, so that when my website was on my remote server the username and password were the same as when I was testing it on my local computer.

Just looking at that part of your response, I don't get what they are asking you. Typically the remote host will require that you update the username/password and possibly SQL server. When you are in most shared environments, which is what I presume you are in, you typically have a username that is prefix_username. So you should be updating your script to match that information, not the other way around. Also with the "mysql instead of localhost" comment, you would only change the script from localhost to another server (ip address) if the mySQL server is not on your web server. If you host tells you this is true thent he value should be an IP address instead of localhost. Is that the case?
For the second part of your question in the "Why can't I access my database" help on Yahoo it says "If your PHP or Perl configuration files require a host name, you may have a problem with your host name. Make sure that you are using the host name mysql, not the default host name localhost." I assumed that meant that in the setup menu when establishing a server connection I needed to replace "localhost" as the mysql Server with "mysql" and then upload my website. This didn't work. Since the mysql server I am trying to access can be accessed using phpmyadmin at www.mywebsite.com/phpmyadmin this seemed to make sense to me. I think I might have managed to access the mysql server, but I'm not choosing the database I want correctly.

Unable to connect to MySQL database

Hello,
I have written a DatabaseManager class that controls access to a locally stored database, implemented in mysql. In theory, client request should be passed to the DatabaseManager through RMI, but I cannot even create a connection to the database yet!
Here's my connect statement:
con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://127.0.0.1:3306/media", "mysql", "mysql");When this statement is executed, the following exception is produced:
java.sql.SQLException: Unable to connect to any hosts due to exception: java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.util.PropertyPermission file.encoding read)Can somebody explain to me how I successfully create a connection to the database? I would be extremely grateful. Also, could somebody explain how I could connect to the database from a remote machine using the following connect statement:
con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://server:3306/media", "mysql", "mysql");I have a feeling I need to grant a certain PropertyPermission in my policy file, but I'm unsure of what values I should be using.
Thank you in advance.
Pete

Thank you for the prompt reply.
In answer to you question: No, it is not an applet. The DatabaseManager is a class that implements a Remote interface, I have it running on the same machine as the mysql database (the server). I then have a small GUI that runs on a client machine which is used to make RMI calls to the DatabaseManager across the network in order to query the database.
When the DatabaseManager object is spawned on the server, it tries to connect to the database to be ready for client queries. This is when it produces the exception mentioned in the original post.
What confuses me is that in my original implementation, the DatabaseManager object was run on the client and the mysql JDBC had no difficulty in connecting to the database across the network. Could the security manager have something to do with it? I am using the RMISecurityManager in conjunction with the java.policy file from the Java RMI tutorial on the Sun website.

BOE XI 3.1 Mysql database connection jar

Hi All,
I am new learner for BOE.I installed Business Object Enterpraise 12.0.
I have created the report WebI rich client and saved in local path, and also some value insert into mysql database table.
I need to know how its stored into mysql database.
which jar file is used for creating the connection with mysql database .
Thanks,

Edited by: yousufalam on Dec 31, 2010 12:40 PM

The connection objects are store in the CI_APPOBJECTS repository table with SI_KIND='Metadata.DataConnection' . The connection properties are stored as property bags along with your objects.
Unfortunately I have just found a reference that this kind of access in not fully supported though and you may have to use the Universe Designer SDK (COM based)
Change password of Universe connection using Java SDK?
Since you are working with the SDK it will make sense to post your questions here:

MySql database Connection failure

CS3 mysql database connection using php

Hi, this is my first time trying to connect to a database. I have created a mysql database with my hosting provider. I am also configured to use php. I have ready numerous threads on this topic, but am still confused.
I am getting the following error message:
When I enter the following information into the connection string, I get the following error Error http error code 404 file not found. The site does not map to ftp.readyhosting.com/_mmserverscripts/mmhttdb.php Is the location of mysql server correct? Connection name ? user defined ?aosprod?
Mysql server = aoswebeditor.readyhostingmysql.com. Also, this is not the same location as the web server.
The hosting company provides the following php code to connect to the database.
<?php
$link = mysql_connect('aoswebeditor.readyhostingmysql.com', 'aosweb', '*password*');
if (!$link) {
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
echo 'Connected successfully';
mysql_select_db(aos);
?>
Because of the connection dialog boxes in CS3, I have not used this php code but only used the mysql server aoswebeditor.readyhostingmysql.com.
My requirements are very simple, I want to use the same remote database for the dreamweaver connection for the remote and testing server.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks. George

First of all, you seem to be mixed up about terminology. ASP stands for Active Server Pages, and is a type of server technology similar to PHP. I think you mean ISP (Internet Service Provider). However, this is not correct, either. An ISP provides your connection to the internet. Although some ISPs also host websites for their customers, your website is normally located at a hosting company. You need to get that mixup out of the way. Otherwise, you might confuse people with future questions about ASP, when you actually mean something completely different.
OK, lecture over...
Your hosting company is following standard procedure by preventing remote access to MySQL databases. However, Dreamweaver does make it possible to use your remote database and website for testing purposes. It does so by uploading a hidden folder called _mmServerScripts to your remote server. This performs a local connection with your database, and then sends the results back to your local computer. When setting up your testing server definition in Dreamweaver, you need to provide the details as I indicated before. When creating a MySQL connection in Dreamweaver, fill in the server name and account details as given to you by your hosting company. If everything is set up correctly, you should be able to use your remote server and database for testing.
Having said that, it is much better to install a local testing environment. You'll find it faster, and it also lets you make mistakes (an essential part of the learning process) in the security of a closed environment. For details of how to set up a local testing environment, see this article in the Adobe Developer Connection.

Connecting to an online mysql database

Good morning,
I've been developing a website using Dreamweaver, Coldfusion,
and MySQL on my local computer. On the localhost the website works
well. Now I'm ready to upload my pages and need to update the data
source so my pages can access the MySQL databases hosted by
GoDaddy.com. I've had no luck talking with their customer service
about which driver / which port I should use to make the
connection. I understand that Remote Development Services (RDS) is
disabled on their server. Am I missing any steps? Any ideas?
Thanks,
Tony

MySQL database connection: Communications link failure Last packet sent to the server was 0 ms ago.

Hello,
I am trying to connect to an external MySQL database from within a bundle.
But I keep getting this error:
Could not get JDBC Connection; nested exception is org.apache.commons.dbcp.SQLNestedException: Cannot create PoolableConnectionFactory (Communications link failure Last packet sent to the server was 0 ms ago.)
These are the details of my bundle:
1)          Spring bundle(using Spring DM)
2)          MySQL database is at port 7046 so my bean is as below:
<bean id="dataSource" class="org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSource">
                    <property name="driverClassName" value="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver" />
                    <property name="url" value="jdbc:mysql://instance13550.db.xeround.com:7046/jas" />
                    <property name="username" value="mysql" />
                    <property name="password" value="mysql" />
</bean>
My bundle connects to the mysql database from withina local felix installation. But when I put the same bundle within CQ I get the error.
Please help.
Karan

I dont know the answer, but if you google for this, some articles listed might help:
re: "Communications link failure Last packet sent to the server was"
Note: I use 're:' which is short for 'reply',
I think you will also be better off using preparedStatements. Dont forget to use preparedStatement.clearParameters() just before preparedStatements.setString() items in the loop
Also, I question why you need to test having 1000 test users all banging away at your application at once. Chances are, most will be staring at your web page and only a few will ever hit the update/insert button
within the same 100 milliseconds or so that your process takes to update.

Connecting to a Mysql database using CF Administrator and DW

I can't create a mysql datasource in CF Administrator.
If I use the following datasource settings in CF
Administrator:
JDBC URL: jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/test
Drive Class: MySQL Connector J
AND (note the emphasis) I set my local and remote folders in
my DW site local folder, remote folder and testing server folders
all to C:\CFusionMX\db\, I can connect to my mysql database in CF
Administrator.
However, with these DW site folder settings, DW doesn't
recognize any databases (Access or Mysql) at all.
When I change my DW site folder settings to 'wwwroot'
(e.g.local folder C:\CFusionMX\db\' is changed to
'C:\CFusionMX\wwwroot') DW now lists all my CF Administrator
databases.
The problem is CF Administrator can't connect to my Mysql
data sources. It gives me the error:
"Connection verification failed for data source: javaserver
[]java.sql.SQLException: SQLException occurred in JDBCPool
while attempting to connect, please check your username, password,
URL, and other connectivity info.
The root cause was that: java.sql.SQLException: SQLException
occurred in JDBCPool while attempting to connect, please check your
username, password, URL, and other connectivity info"
I've tried changing the 3306 port to 8500, but this doesn't
help.
My java path and connector file is:
C:\CFusionMX\wwwroot\WEB-INF\lib\mysql-connector-java-3.0.17-ga-bin.jar,
Is this a ID/password problem? I've tried both 'root' and
leaving the ID field in the CF Administrator add data source block,
both to no avail. I don't have a password set in Mysql for 'root'
either.
Any help would be gratefully appreciated. I've been working
on this for weeks and keep running into one problem after another.
Thanks a million in advance.
Sincerely,
Graham A. Kerby

1) ensure mysql server is running
2) there are numerous tutorials for mysql installation out
there
3) there are good free mysql admin tools out there
4) use both the above to verify your mysql installation is
correct
5) please tell me you do have your zonealarm DISABLED

If it were me I would use the MySQL JDBC driver and not ODBC. Then DSN versus not-DSN wouldn't be an issue.

Confused, which MySQL database to connect to: local (WAMP), or remote?
