Invalid target configuration error when connecting to database

Hello @Comet.
I had the same problem because as Brian already stated, most host providers deny any access from outside. The Wappler devs tried to overcome this problem by first sending the database parameters to the server and testing the connection from there. Problem is, even this package that is sent from Wappler gets blocked by certain providers, so the script on the server doesn't get the parameters for testing. The team already looks into that and as I know them, they fix this soon:

How to set database connection when host denies access from outside?

I’m ready to publish my website onto my server. The problem is, my hosting provider doesn’t allow access to the database from outside the server environment (security reasons). Basically, no problem since the website runs on the same server. But Wappler doesn’t save a database connection when the connection is not tested before. So I can’t save my database connection since it’s a connection timeout. If there is no Wappler way, I’m gonna try to set a static IP on the server to enable access: ht…

Please try to change the parameters in /dmxConnect/modules/Connections/yourConnection.php, then upload your page to the remote server and check out if it connects to your database. This solution was brought to me by Dave:

Or you could manually edit the DMX Connection file on the remote server to localhost? Assuming the site is hosted on the same server as the database?
