Topic: Brightbox Help / sqlite3

Hi Nigel,

There’s nothing to stop you from using sqlite3 in production on a Brightbox.

If you don’t use the MySQL database service then you’re throwing away all the benefits of high availability, replication, backups, and scalability – but sqlite will work.

Cheers

Topic: Brightbox Help / Connect to MySQL db from MySQL Workbench

Hi,

The MySQL hosts use rfc1918 private addresses, so they’re not accessible over the Internet.

I’m not sure how easy it is to do with Windows, but on a Unix or Mac system, it’s possible to tunnel MySQL over ssh. There are some instructions for this at http://wiki.brightbox.co.uk/docs:mysqlcluster

Cheers

Topic: Brightbox Help / Brightbox Gem Bundler and Rail 3

Hi,

It looks like the error you’re getting isn’t quite the same as the one in the link you posted. Please could you open a support ticket in the Control Panel and we’ll have a quick look in to this.

Thanks.
