I know this is something stupid I'm missing, but I'm not getting it. I'm trying to run my Django from one cloud instance and the DB from another, to (hopefully) optimize each server for task and balance the load a bit.
On the DB server, I have mysql installed and have a working database running on the default port 3306. I do not have a domain assigned to this server, only a raw IP. On the django side, I'm not sure what my settings should be to connect to it. So far, everything I've tried has resulted in _mysql_exceptions.OperationalError: (2005, "Unknown MySQL server host '< THE IP >' (1)") Settings.py looks like: DATABASES = { 'default': { 'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql', 'NAME': 'django', 'USER': '<MY USERNAME FOR THE DB>', 'PASSWORD': 'XXXXXXX', 'HOST': '< THE IP >', 'PORT': '3306', } } What am I missing? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
