I should point out that this error is thrown - I take it to mean that the
function isn't even located. I don't think the problem is with the details of
the database connection, I don't think it gets that far.
To test this, I've added a call to revOpenDatabases before doing anything else
- sure enough, this throws the same error.

The whole shebang works on my Mac. I tried to see if I could run LiveCode
headless on Mac, to minimise the differences that might be at issue, and got
Startup error - cannot run in command line mode
I don't know if that's a generic issue that LiveCode can't run headless on
Mac, or if there's something else going on there.

When it attempts to call revOpenDatabase, it throws error 219, "error in
function handler". I take it that this means it can't find or hasn't loaded
the revdb external.
I've installed livecodecommunity-9.6.1.x86_64, and I launch it with
~/.runrev/components/livecodecommunity-9.6.1.x86_64/LiveCode\
Community.x86_64 -ui <mystack.livecode>
I can see revdb.so and dbmysql.so are in the Externals directory. Is there
something explicit I need to do to load these?
"error in function handler" is a pretty generic response - sort of the
engine's version of ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Is the MySQL database local to the server
machine or on a different computer? Does this work locally before moving the
stack to the headless linux box?
