Software DB Demo.rev & MySQL

[howard freeman]

Hi Sarah nad list
Thanks for the stacks - I picked them up and tried them with no luck: 
I get a Rev error of (60) saying Rev can't connect to the MySQL 
server. However, MySQL is happily serving tot he web just fine. I 
used the MySQL root password and the user password, with the same 
result. It is possible that the port that MySQL works through, 3306, 
is blocked by the firewall, so I'll just have to get it opened and 
see if things work better.

If it's the firewall that's stopping things then I'll report back. 
One other point (this addressed to Rev authors) is that finding out 
about the use of the MySQL commands would have been a lot easier if 
they had been documented as a group rather than individually.
