Mydac on OSX not connecting.

I am testing and can run a simple database app on windows.

I have compiled to OSX and get 'cannot connect to mysql server on XXXX'.

I have install mysql server on the mac (hoping this installed the necessary bits and pieces).

Is there some equivalent of dlls I have to add?

Thanks....

If you are using Direct Mode in MyDAC (TMyConnection.Options.Direct property is True), no third-party libraries for connection to MySQL server are needed. The error may be due some restrictions on the PC with installed MySQL server or OSX (antivirus or firewall can block incoming or outgoing connections or ports, incorrect MySQL server configuration, etc.).

I am trying to connect to a remote mysql database from a mac not mysql on the local machine.

I installed mysql server in the hope it cured the problem I am having.

The TMyConnection.Options.Direct property is True

I have 3 different macs.
None of them have firewall switched on.
None have antivirus.

I am able to use SequelPro ( mysql database management ) on each machine.

I can connect to all my databases with this okay.

Is there anyway I can trace where its failing?

Please create an empty project and run the following code:

Code: Select all

var
  con: TMyConnection;
begin
  con := TMyConnection.Create(nil);
  try
    con.Server := Server;
    con.Port := 3306;
    con.Username := User;
    con.Password := Password;
    con.Database := Database;
    con.LoginPrompt := False; 
    con.Open;
    if con.Connected then ShowMessage('Connected!')
  finally
    con.Free;
  end;
Note, that to run this code, you should add the MyAccess unit to the USES clause of your unit.
If you get an error on this code execution, please specify its full message.

To investigate the problem, please execute the following code and let us know the results:

Code: Select all

var
  VioTCP: TCRVioTCP;
begin
  VioTCP := TCRVioTCP.Create;
  try
    VioTCP.Host := Server;
    VioTCP.Port := Port;
    VioTCP.Timeout := 0;
    if VioTCP.TryConnect then
      ShowMessage('OK')
    else
      ShowMessage('Error: ' + VioTCP.LastError+ #$D#$A'Code: ' + 
        IntToStr(VioTCP.LastErrorCode));
  finally
    VioTCP.Free;
  end;
end;
Note, that to run this code, you should add the CRVioTCP unit to the USES clause of your unit.

Please check whether you can connect to the host: ensembldb.ensembl.org.

Code: Select all

  VioTCP.Host := 'ensembldb.ensembl.org';
  VioTCP.Port := 3306;

Please check whether you can connect to the host ensembldb.ensembl.org by specifying its IP address:

Code: Select all

 VioTCP.Host := '193.62.203.187';
You have written earlier that you could connect to MySQL server from Windows, now you are writing that you can connect neither to OSX nor to Windows. Maybe there were some changes, for example, in the network configuration.
