Database backup configuration

Question

Hi there,

I'm using MySql in app but I got a problem with database backup configuration.

I created a new connection string in my app configuration, but I have this error

Error occurred while connecting to the database MySql on server 127.0.0.1:*****: Unable to connect to any of the specified MySQL hosts. Please make sure the database connection string is up to date.

Thanks

Hi @Mario Bondici
I'm able to setup MySQL in-app backup successfully by using the connectionString from file mentioned above. Screenshot A below shows how i acquired the connectionString (using Console under Development Tools) which i have later added to the Connection strings section under Application Settings (Screenshot B) which then made the MySQL in-app as an available option on Backups blade.

Answer 2

Hi thanks for your answer

This is exactly what I done. But I got a database connection error. It looks like an host problem

"Unable to connect to any of the specified MySQL hosts"

I'm not working with the database named localdb but with a different one.

So I read the connection string inside MYSQLCONNSTR_localdb.txt and edited a new one changing database name , host, user and password.
