We are using Windows Azure platform to host wordpress along with mysql database. Three days ago, all in sudden, we can't save any changes to wordpress. The wordpress shows the changes are successfully made but none of them are taken effective. After googling the problem, it appears that the problem is with mysql permission on Windows Azure. I tried to reach Microsoft, but they direct me to here. I am wondering if anyone experience the same issue and have a solution to this. Thank you.
I found the answer from MSDN forum. The problem with mysql db on azure is that the db is actually hosted at cleardb. azure provision the mysql db as a service but the initial space is 20MB only. It's earsily running out space. I have to go to cleardb dot com to register a payable account and link to azure. Then increase the space. It worked right away.
MSFT currently has very limited support for WindowsAzure. I am not satisfied. But I am glad I can find the answer from tech forum eventually.

This may sound like a silly question, but my client had me working on a dev version of his website, and now wants me to push changes to the live AWS server.
He's given me access, however I can't for the life of me find the MySQL database in AWS. I am given to understand it should be located under RDS but there seems to be nothing there:
Can someone tell me where to find it then? Did the client send me to the wrong server or something? He is not technical at all so not of any help.
You can use the tag editor to find all the resources that are running in the aws account (which can be tagged). Go to the tag editor and then select all region and resources to see where the db is running. Maybe its running under some other region and you are looking in the wrong region. Hope that helps
I am new to Azure, For learning I created a new Web App + MySQL. I used MySQL In APP for DB.
Azure web app seem to start fine and I could see PHP process in the process explore. But I am not seeing mysqld.exe process in the process explore and PHPMyAdmin is taking me to login page. I am not seeing any logs for mysql either.
Please let me know if I am missing something ? Any help would be great.
Thank you
It can be glitchy, apparently, click around for a bit according to Microsoft and as long as the website is running then it should soon realise that its there. Worked for me, see this link.

I recently downloaded the community version of MySQL. I'm relatively new to databases and all so I may have some misconceptions about databases. However, based on my understanding, the database downloaded is local to my computer, so if my computer ever gets destroyed or wiped then the databases is not accessible anymore and cannot be referenced by programs.
If this is the case, is there a way to make the database not local to my computer, but based online so that it will always be accessible regardless of the condition of my computer?
EDIT: It would be best if the database was free if possible. In addition, I have no host accounts currently.
If you are running the database on your machine, then true - if the computer gets wiped or destroyed, so does your database and data.
If you want online, then Amazon Web Services (AWS) is probably your best bet. You create an RDS there, and it lives in the cloud. Not for the faint of heart. Not that it is particularly difficult, but probably not for the novice.
I also had the same problem and the solution came from here
All the free hosters i found with mySQL were way too limited and 99% didn't gave you remote connections.
So you set up a free VPS ...a nice linux distro,you install the mySQL and off you go...
I'm getting the following error intermittently when making a call from my ASP.Net MVC web application which is using Dapper to query MySQL.
Unable to connect to any of the specified MySQL hosts.
The exception only occurs when my web app is published to Azure. It has worked 100% of the time when I run the code locally. I've deployed the code to a second azure website, and also get the exception there, again intermittently.
The MySQL database is running on an Azure VM (Ubuntu). This server also has some R scripts that access the database, which are being run at a set interval. I've had no connectivity issue with these either. It is just the .Net code that's struggling.
I've scoured the web, but don't feel like I've turned up anything of value. Most of the links have pointed to a connection string problem, but since it works intermittently that doesn't seem to fit my problem. Some links have referenced DNS issues, but I'm getting the same problem when I use the IP Address instead of the machine name for the DNS server.
I'm sure I need to track down more information, but I'm not sure where it would be. This is my first foray into using a MySQL db in this fashion, and I'm not familiar with config options or log files on that side of things. I feel similarly about Azure websites with database interactions too.
What can I try next?
Just to drive home the point about this error being intermittent, here's a screenshot from the Runscope job that's hitting the page (thus triggering the MySQL query) every 5 minutes:
I was able to fix (or perhaps "circumvent") this problem by adding the --skip-host-cache flag to our mysql configuration file. I still don't fully understand what the root of the problem is, but we haven't had any issues with MySQL connectivity from the Azure website since adding that.
Soo, I've decided to toy around a bit with GAE. Most of my previous experience with developing web-applications is with ASP.Net, so this java / eclipse-world is kinda unfamiliar to me.
I read around, and found out that I can configure my project to use a Google Cloud SQL instance when it's deployed at Google, while using a local MySQL database while running locally on my development server.
The problem I ran in to now is that I can simply not press "Ok" in the eclipse dialog for configuring my local MySQL database? Well - I can, but with no result. No error message, no window close, no nothing.
I'm not really sure what I am doing wrong, but was hoping some wiz in here who has more experience than me with GAE have had a similar problem and a solution?
I've attached a picture of my local MySQL configuration:
