I have managed to deploy to *PythonAnywhere* (*PA*) the MySQL database in a matter of minutes! Then I have re-created the Web2Py , uploaded and installed my application from the localhost - literally 5 minutes !! The familiar Web2Py interface was ready like a charm...so the description of PA in the W2P book as the simplest solution was correct... Life is good...All is great ...EXCEPT...
What should be the *DAL - database connection definition* when *NOT* *on a localhost *? The definitions from the local machine obviously need to change. So I have tried on PA in db.py: db = DAL('mysql:// *username:mysqlpassw...@username.pythonanywhere.com/username$default'*) *username* = the PA username (tried *root* - of course didn't work) *mysqlpassword* = the pwd for the mysql instance at PA *username$default = * the database name which is equal to... *username$default *(tried *localhost* which didn't work) The above doesn't work and W2P cannot connect to MySQL... I must be doing something really stupid since I am a newbie with W2P and PA...
