IBM Worklight - Unable to connect to database when using IP address instead of localhost

StackOverflow https://stackoverflow.com/questions/23307170

Question

I'm currently creating a Worklight application that retrieves some data from my computer's MySQL database.

When I try to run the app, it cannot connect to the database. The error happens when I change the URL of the database to an IP address (192.168.6.1 (my computer's localhost)).

When I test it from my computer by invoking the worklight procedure (the address is localhost) it works fine, but when I change the URL to the IP address, it shows an error:

Solution

I don't know which database front-end you're using, but you need to go to the user creation/permission screen and make sure you have given the user "root" permission to connect to both localhost and % (all), so that the IP address would be accepted as well.

For example: root@% rather than/in addition to root@localhost.

This is mentioned in slide #14 of the SQL adapter training module.

BTW, you could probably keep it as localhost instead of an IP address (as long as you're testing in your local network). It shouldn't matter for the device. Did you try?
