Hello,
I am able to connect to my localhost server and everythign runs fine, however when i want to connect to my server with our mysql database on it I am unable to do so.. I have followed all directions from the help file and here is my process...
Entering the IP address of my Host, as well as the username and password.. recieving this error: Cannot connect to host from my ip address, try using PHP instead of remote access.
I also tried uploading phprunner.php and went to http://myaddress.com/phprunner.php and filled out the host username and pw and it connected fine and I was able to pick the database of choice and hit show schema and i was able to see the XML code for it.. I then went back to try and connect using the program and entered the Host, Username, Password, clicked Connect Using PHP entered http://myaddress.com/phprunner.php and it gave me this error: Cannot connect to database, failed to request page. Try to open connection script in browser. I also tried again using the same process except i entered the http:// address that I got after i hit "show schema" and recieved the same error.
We would be more than happy with purchasing this product if we knew we could connect to our database and get the results we're looking for with this application. I don't understand that when if I was capable of going to http://myaddress.com/phprunner.php and was capable of connecting then and picking my database that I am unable to do it using the program?? If there is anything we need to know that could help us connect, or if i'm doing something wrong I would appreciate some assistance. (I have read all through the help file). Thank you for your time, and look forward to hearing back from you.

Just in case make sure you don't run a firewall that may prevent PHPRunner from connecting to phprunner.php.
If this doesn't help email me the URL of phprunner.php along with MySQL server address, username and password.

I'll find what is wrong and be back to you.
