I am trying to set up big brother with my new server and both my server and the MySQL database host are hosted elsewhere. The site i am using to host my database is [http://www.000webhost.com/] if someone could reccoment a better free one that would be great. Anyway so i have uploaded my big brother.jar and properites file and applied it to my server. So then i go and have a look at the files that are associated with bigbrother and i now have 2 config files that are identical but have different names. So do i have to keep them both or delete the one that i uploaded? Anyway i opened the config settings and this is what i am faced with... ________________________ mysql: port: 3306 username: engine: MyISAM prefix: '' low-priority-insert: true hostname: password: database: ________________________ So i put in my MySQLhost details, save the file and then reload the server and i get this message. '[BIGBROTHER] CONNECTION FAILURE. Please tell the ops to fix the connection and restart BigBrother.' as shown here Any help on this would be great, many thanks, Dan
Have you added your MySQL database connection information? Like username, password, database name? Also, I'm not sure if 000webhost allows connections from other servers. I think you can only use 000webhost databases from your 000webhost website. I would recommend using HostGator.com.
If thats why that would explain alot . I have had a look at that site but do you know of any that work which are free to use?
