    Hello,

    I just signed up for MySql add-on.

    Then created a database via MySql Database Manager.

    Tried to connect via MySql Workbench - failed.

    Basic KB article is not helping me (please point me to one that will).

    Can any one give an example of what I should enter for the following fields

    Connection Name:
    Connection Method:
    Hostname:
    Username:
    Default Schema:

    Many thanks in advance

    You should be able to find that information in the Control Panel.

    Connection Name: you can create your own name
    Connection Method: Standard (TCP/IP)
    Hostname: mysql###.discountasp.net
    Username: username
    Default Schema: You can leave this blank.

    Please disregard my last post. I tried port 3306 and it worked. Luckily I didn't give up after the 3305th attempt.
