Folks,
I am running into an issue with developing database connections. I have been trying to follow the 2nd webinar to develop a CRUD application. The frontend piece went well but the database was not getting updated with the form.
I reached out to Namecheap (hosting provider) customer support and they said they supported remote connections only for SSH connections. So, I implemented the connection through Putty following the instructions on
https://www.namecheap.com/support/knowledgebase/article.aspx/1249/2180/how-to-remotely-connect-to-a-mysql-database-located-on-our-shared-server
Now, I am still having trouble connecting. I followed the debugging steps above but it seemed like a more basic problem. The ‘Preview’ under XHR wouldn’t even open as the GET or POST actions didn’t even complete. For example, I would get the connection error (500) notification within Wappler.
Upon reviewing some error logs, it looks like a common error is "Failed opening required ‘…/…/…/dmxConnectLib/dmxConnect.php’ ". After some research, it looked like the above needs a fix in the pathname. This is getting way too confusing for me. Does anybody understand what’s happening and how I can fix the problem.
