MySQL Errors! How splendid they are...

[Amarach]

Greetings,
I have noted that PowWeb has been backing up my mysql database daily and this makes me happy... but mySQL being down makes me angry. How do I restore from the powweb backup?

Also, could someone please clarify what the exact problem is? Thanks. www.drakianblade.com

Seems as if you've used 'localhost' for your mysql server. You should use your real mysql server instead - ex. mysql03.powweb.com

What is your mySQL server?

Looks like you are trying to connect to localhost instead of the mySQL server.

Wow, quick responses. Thanks guys.

Well, I don't really know my server name and I've never had problems with using local host until Saturday or Friday, but I know I do connect to meteor.powweb.com. Where in the ops would I find the info, exactly?

It'll be on the MySQL tab.

mySQL

Your mySQL database AmarachsSQL is hosted on PowWeb's server meteor.powweb.com run mysqld version 4.0.12-log. Your database users and privileges are shown below. All changes are made in real time.


That's the header of my mySQL page. Followed by users/priveledges section and the backup section.

In your configuration file for your site or whatever you have connecting to your database you will want to use "meteor.powweb.com" instead of "localhost".
