I have a system running on Alpha Five v11. The developer version which is on the server (where also the MySQL server is running) connects nicely to the MySQL Server over localhost and the app works correctly with active link tables on the Full developer version.
Next, I installed a runtime on a client machine (without shadowing it for now) and ran the workspace. It did not connect to MySQL Server and throw an error that it could not connect over localhost.
Since the way Runtimes work has been changing a LOT over the years (previously you needed the Runtime Enterprise version which does not seem to exist anymore), I am wondering if the Runtime+ now can connect to the MySQL database, or do we need some other version of the RT?
If it should be able to do so, any idea on why it still does not? I am able to open the MySQL database directory from the file explorer on the client machine so I have the rights to that directory. If there is no runtime related issue, my best guess is I have misconfigured the MySQL server instance somehow. I can't find ANY documentation on how to set up a runtime-MySQL Server connection (or any other SQL server connection). Did a forum search, but could not find anything helpful either. Right now, the full dev version connects, so the server is running, but the runtime does not. Should the runtime not connect through the same named connection as defined in the masterdatabase? I can't seem to set any connections in the runtime? Testing the connection on the Full version works, testing the very same connection on the runtime does not.
Really stuck with this one. Any help really appreciated!
