Wappler 5 / 6 based video training/ tutorial course ( free )

I’ve decided to switch my php site to NodeJS, found a new host, and have been using your course to learn what I’m doing.
I am looking forward to when you add switching to production from development, but mostly I have not been able to figure out how to use MYSQL on my host site.
I’ve installed mysql on the host, and added a production target, but cannot connect to the db. The host said to use localhost and 3306. Is there a module that I’m supposed to modify?
Thank you for your work.

Unless you can connect to the remote DB, using SSH as an example, you will not be able to connect Wappler to the remote.

You will still need to configure the remote Database Connection for the Production target so that when you upload the site, the correct connection details are used.

Firstly, I have not jumped into production settings as there are so many difference methods and technologies out there that there is no easy one size fits all solution. I would suggest you create a new post, provide as much detail as you can regarding the type of service you are using or even the name of the host as it is likely someone else already uses the service. At the moment, based on the info given, you are stated the equivalent of “my car has broken down” more detail means we can help more

Does your host offer Docker containers? It sounds to me like you could benefit from them. I do agree with both @Hyperbytes and @ben not enough details and new post needed! BTW what host are you using if you don’t mind me asking.

Hi @Hyperbytes,

I assume you are busy with other things but wanted to check when do you plan to continue the community web series?

Those bugs that make your work impossible are bad…

We are not aware of such problems. If you have any issues using latest Wappler update then please report them properly. Saying “it doesn’t work” is not really helpful.

some errors are so obvious that the developer should normally see / notice them. Wappler is not open source…many developers here use wappler for business, so important functions that worked before should continue to work…and not just after 1 week. It’s just annoying… and I don’t think I’m the only one. Criticism should be addressed openly…

and I’m not criticizing your software, I’m criticizing your developers…changing/adjusting features without proper testing. accept the positively meant criticism, or not. any criticism can only make you better if you deal with it openly.

So, please open separate topics for the issues you find. Saying “it doesn’t work” doesn’t really help. We can’t really fix something we’re not aware of.

LOL, as an old car repair guy, I laughed at the accuracy of your statement.
I’ll open a new topic…

I’ll add SSH to my learning needs, and try it also. Thank you.

Mr. Ben, you are my Wappler Ambassador for these years. We appreciate you making everyone on this platform grin; it always lifts our spirits just when we need it. Your persistently upbeat attitude has had a significant impact on this platform. I appreciate your presence and the sacrifices you stand for. We appreciate you always being the first to offer your assistance. Without you, some of us couldn’t succeed. We appreciate what you do.

Thank you for your help. My host does not offer Docker, yet.
However, connection with SSH has been the answer.

Hi Brian,
I am currently on video 40 of your tutorial. Everything so far has been great and works well. I am currently looking at the database query structure in my browser after running the api you walked through. All my data appears to be there, however the data isnt structured like yours, with the white space and seperated lines. Is this a setting I need to select in wappler? or perhaps an issue with my browser? I am using brave instead of chrome, but I tried it with chrome I still see the same issue. See screen shot:

Hi, you just need to install a JSON Formatter extension, any extension for chrome works on Brave:

I have a chrome extension called JSONVue installed which formats the data in the chrome browser in a more readable format
