Yes I have. Including turning off the computer and re publishing. I had the same doubts…
Something is not getting published. Try doing a full publish rather than a save if you haven’t yet.
I visited the page for the first time just now so it’s not a cache issue. Still pointing to file with space.
I would also try deleting the page from the remote server completely. Go to the page and make sure it’s gone. Then republish it.
OK, I have tried it again.
The target has as Database: None
The direct database connection works fine:
I have created a new page called register and the server connect action is pointing to api/insert
Yet, I get the following error when I submit the form to insert the information in the database:
You can check it in the following public address:
Hi Jay,
The database connection settings you took a screenshot of is the Direct connection. This is used by the Wappler UI to gather schema and for the Database Manager connection. The connection you need to be checking is under Server Actions > Database Connections
This is the connection used by server-side scripts to connect to the database.
I don’t have the same options you have in my UI, see below:
Hence, I can’t test the connection that way
Sorry, I was working on a PHP project for my connection screenshot, it seems there’s a difference between PHP and NodeJS for that one.
One thought is that you have SSL selected. Can you deselect that, save and republish?
In other words, deselecting SSL has no effect
What is the literal sql query sent through your database connection?
$sql = "INSERT INTO myform ( firstname, lastname )
VALUES
( ‘Joe’, ‘Biden’ );";
or
INSERT INTO myform (first_name,last_name) VALUES (Joe, Biden);
I don’t think this is to do with the query, the connection timeout suggests that the connection parameters aren’t correct. Have you tried connecting with MySQL workbench with the same host, user, port & pw?
The other thing to check is that there isn’t some firewall/access list with DO that limits access to the DB from certain hosts/IP addresses.
OK, I have created a workbench connection with exactly the same parameters I use for the DO Wappler connection and it works OK, see:
And I can insert with workbench a new record in the DO remote database:
If I refresh the schema in Wappler I can view the record I just input:
So Wappler can access the record I inserted in the database through Workbench. But through Wappler I can’t insert the record in the database, I get the timeout error.
Can you check on DO that you have the server address as a Trusted source?
(or that it’s open to all sources)
OK, I have included, as a trusted resource, the DO’s suggested IP of my computer:
but if I try to insert a new record in the database, I still get the timeout error:
The trusted sources needs to include the IP of the target server too. That’s what’s trying to connect to update the DB
It’ll be the 159.65.226.41 one that the web server uses
It worked!!!
bpj, I just put you in my short list of friends.
Best.
Jay
YEP. So many knobs & dials to twiddle with manually.
& so many external sources to manage to the nth degree when developing in today’s app technology resources.
