Zoomer's mySQL IP address...

[usbnuts]

Hi, my new domain isn't up yet, but I would like to know the exact IP address for Zoomer's mySQL so I can test out my site.

Best,

[Deb]

You do need the domain name moved over in order to use the MySQL servers as it is mapped onto your domain name.[nbsp][nbsp]We cannot support MySQL usage via the IP address.

hmm...please look at this...

$host = "MySQL03.FutureQuest.net";
(I hid the user/password)

mysql_connect($host,$login,$password);
mysql_select_db($dbhost);

Is "MySQL03.FutureQuest.net" where my DB data is stored?

Regards,

(I'm on Zoomer)

You can use the server name, but you will do so at your own risk as load balancing can step in and transparently shift your databases to another backside MySQL server...

I highly encourage that you use the officially supported:
mysql.acme.com

All other usage/access methods is and will be unsupported by the FutureQuest Support Team...

I'm curious about something, please respond to the following:

Which account on ZOOMER?
Which database on the MYSQL engines?

All ZOOMER accounts are initially setup on MYSQL04, so your usage is suspect...

For Bronx-Bombers.com I was told to use mysql02.futurequest.net.

One of my newer domains was instructed to use mysql.bronxbombersonline.com.

Should I switch Bronx-Bombers.com to the mysql.acme.com method?

This _only_ applies to new MYSQL setups, and my post was in context to the specifics of this thread...

Eventually all MYSQL setups will be updated to use this method, however this is still a work in progress for the more established accounts...

Hopefully this will clear any confusion...

Thanks for the clarification.[nbsp][nbsp]I wouldn't want to be &quot;unsupported&quot; :D.

usbnuts:[nbsp][nbsp]I didn't immediately see the ZOOMER account when I was looking up your first account with us, hence my curiosity...

Your Gold account on ZOOMER is currently setup on the MYSQL04.FutureQuest.net server, but as mentioned before - this mapping could change at any time without warning since the process is:
a) transparent
b) which server you connect to is controlled my 'mysql.yourdomain.com' instead of hard coded to any one MySQL0[1234] server

I would hope that you would agree this extra layer of abstraction, is well worth the underlying design benefits...
