<blockquote> Unable to connect to your database server using the provided settings. </blockquote> I've been having difficulty connecting my application to my remote database. I'm receiving the error shown above when I run my application. I've looked at previous answers to this question on this site, but I've gotten no luck at solving it. From what I learnt, I need to replace the hostname and make my mysql database accept external connections, which I have both done. I tried the same values in my database.php through the mysql command-line and it works. So what else could I possibly be missing? Here are my settings in database.php: <pre><code>$active_group = 'staging'; $active_record = TRUE; $db['default']['hostname'] = 'localhost'; $db['default']['username'] = 'root'; $db['default']['password'] = ''; $db['default']['database'] = 'myDatabase'; $db['default']['dbdriver'] = 'mysql'; $db['default']['dbprefix'] = ''; $db['default']['pconnect'] = TRUE; $db['default']['db_debug'] = TRUE; $db['default']['cache_on'] = FALSE; $db['default']['cachedir'] = ''; $db['default']['char_set'] = 'utf8'; $db['default']['dbcollat'] = 'utf8_general_ci'; $db['default']['swap_pre'] = ''; $db['default']['autoinit'] = TRUE; $db['default']['stricton'] = FALSE; $db['staging']['hostname'] = 'XX.XX.XXX.XXX'; $db['staging']['username'] = 'user'; $db['staging']['password'] = 'pwd'; $db['staging']['database'] = 'myDatabase'; $db['staging']['dbdriver'] = 'mysql'; $db['staging']['dbprefix'] = ''; $db['staging']['pconnect'] = TRUE; $db['staging']['db_debug'] = TRUE; $db['staging']['cache_on'] = FALSE; $db['staging']['cachedir'] = ''; $db['staging']['char_set'] = 'utf8'; $db['staging']['dbcollat'] = 'utf8_general_ci'; $db['staging']['swap_pre'] = ''; $db['staging']['autoinit'] = TRUE; $db['staging']['stricton'] = FALSE; </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
