Connection to OVH MySQL database

Markyo

Hello,

I'm trying to connect my app to the OVH database Web Cloud Hosting plans.
Here is a picture of what OVH panel looks like:

in my application's main I wrote this:

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QApplication a(argc, argv);

    QSqlDatabase db = QSqlDatabase::addDatabase("QMYSQL");
    db.setHostName("mythictcocclient.mysql.db");
    db.setDatabaseName("mythictcocclient");
    db.setUserName("mythictcocclient");
    db.setPassword("passwordIUseToConnectToPHPmyadmin");
    bool ok = db.open();

    if (ok == false) {
        qDebug() << db.lastError().text();
        qInfo("Database not opened.");
        return 84;
    } else {
        qInfo("Database is open!");
    }
    MainWindow w;
    w.show();
    return a.exec();
}

but I get this error message:

"Unknown MySQL server host 'mythictcocclient.mysql.db' (0) QMYSQL: Unable to connect"

says that this is an unknown address unless OVH tells me to use this address.

I'm kinda lost, if you can help me please, I will be grateful.

Hi,

Are you sure it's not an address to use the database within your OVH installation ?

You should check the OVH documentation to enable access from the outside.
