[SOLVED] Applications don't work in external server due database connection

Hello everybody,
Thanks in advance for your help.

I’m testing SC to see if this fits what I need before buying it… so far in my local machine it looks good. I have been able to do several things and all work OK.

Now, I need to test in the external server where my previous applications are built.
I deployed the project and test it in the prod environment, I got an error about the database connection, I re-created it as the message said and it worked.
I deployed with Typical if it helps…

Then I uploaded the files in the server… by the way, I think is too much in a folder for a simple application, >50M :eek:

When I try to access I got an error regarding the database connection
The database connection was not found, contact the system administrator. Connection: conn_mysql

I can’t find the file where the string is saved, but I have read that the connection data is encrypted so I suppose it’s not worth it keep looking for it.

Can someone please give me an idea on what to do?
I have in my local machine the same database, user and password that the data that is in the server…

Thank you so much if someone can give me a hand on this.

Regards,
Janneth

Hi,
within the application folder on your server is a folder named ‘_lib’. Set it’s permissions temporarily to 777.
Access it with “www.yourserver.com/yourapplication/_lib”.
You will be redirected to the environment configuration and asked to set a password.
Afterwards you have to create/edit your connection parameters, which is self-explanatory.
When done reset the permissions of the ‘_lib’ folder.
That’s it.

Hope that helps

Hi,
Thank you so much for your answer. I did it but I got an error from my hosting due several attempts to connect and I got blocked.
When I installed SC I tried to connect directly from my computer to the server and not sure why I couldn’t.

I need to wait for them so I can try again.

Thank you again,
Janneth
