Username – THE ADMIN USERNAME FOR THE MySQL DATABASE, NOT YOUR WORDPRESS USERNAME.The TCP/IP address of the database – this is sometimes called “Host Name”,usually the host url address on which the database could be found, NOT THE PHPMYADMIN URL.You will need to know the following before you proceed, and this can be found on your web hosting control panel(GoDaddy, Dreamhost), under the MySQL database section (if not ask your web-hosts support, or consider changing the hosting plan and provider if they can not provide these details) : With some hosts you could also restrict possible connections by the IP address, in case you plan to approach it always from the same place (for this option you also need to have a static IP address, you can usually get it from your internet provider for an extra charge). It comes with a security risk, so you want to make sure that your username and password for this database is complicated enough. Depending on the web host you either choose this option when installing the database (Go Daddy), switch to it after the installation (Dream host) or call the support to open the database for you.

I will also include a step by step instruction on how to connect successfully and further integrate it all into a workable system. My goal was to automatically harvest and sort-order data from contact forms so it could be used inside the FileMaker Pro database instantly. This article will describe my experience of connecting FileMaker Pro database to MySQL database driving a WordPress website via a MySQL ODBC driver. However, there are a few things you might have to face that nobody is telling you about when it comes to a real-life situation, and connecting to the WordPress particularily.
There are a few extensive tutorials related to this that come with the software, or could be found on. Connecting FileMaker Pro and MySQL Database with MySQL ODBC driverįileMaker Pro is compatible with MySQL databases which makes it possible to merge the system with any other web platform based on PHP/SQL including Word Press?Īs the matter of fact, there is a long-lasting partnership between FileMaker Pro and MySQL (Oracle).
