Okay, that could be problematic.....I asked about it on vlexo's support forums. Here's what I said:
My server program needs to locate the mySQL database I made on vlexo using either an IP adress of the machine the database is located on, or a URL that will re-direct to the database. What IP Adress or URL should I enter that will redirect it to my account's mySQL database? (I tried 127.0.0.1 and the shared IP 69.10.56.122). Any suggestions? Thanks!
And here's what they replied:
All access to mysql must be done within the server. Access to it outside the server is blocked for security reasons.
If you want access to it within the server use "localhost".
So does that mean it won't work with vlexo? If so, would it work with a linux shell that includes mySQL and ruby?
If not (meaning it still might work with vlexo), then what am I doing wrong?
Thanks!
