I get this error message when trying to connect to an MYSQL database
dbp = DAL('mysql://admin:password@localhost:3306/postcodes2')
File "/opt/web-apps/web2py/gluon/dal.py", line 3720, in __init__
raise
RuntimeError, "Failure to connect, tried 5 times:\n%s" %
errorRuntimeError:
Failure to connect, tried 5 times:
(1049, u"Unknown database 'postcodes2'")
I get the error with or without the port number.
I can telnet to port 3306.
If I change the password to an incorrect one, it gives a different
error, so it connecting to the host.
If I use mysql at the command line it shows this database as present.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
