Hi.

What I didn't understand from your post is if you are testing jobberbase on your local machine or online. The mysql server is running on the same machine?

The following solution might be helpful if you are testing it on a local machine:

I'm asking you this because by default, I hope I'm not mistaken, mysql only allows connections initiated from the same machine it is running on. Suppose you have two machines: A and B and mysql runs on A. If you have installed jobberbase on B you can't connect to the database server running on A. If you have root rights to the mysql server then you would have to run this command: GRANT ALL ON *.* TO 'someuser'@'somehost'; for the above example, you would substitute 'somehost' with B (or B's IP) and 'someuser' with your user name. This tells Mysql to allow connections from B.

Hope that it helps.
