Cannot connect to database. Unknown MySQL server host
Posted: 10 May 2019, 09:14
Hello all,
I'm trying to install OpenCATS on a new server and connect it to an existing database on a different server. When I put in the database details in the wizard and test it, I get the error "Cannot connect to database. Unknown MySQL server host...". Any ideas?
I can connect to the database remotely, just not from my OpenCATS server (CentOS 7).
I'm not too familiar with Linux but I think there's something on the server blocking outgoing requests.
Many thanks,
Rob
