We're Moving to a New Support Platform – Starting June 1st!
We’re excited to let you know that starting June 1st, we’ll be transitioning to a new support system that will be available directly on our product websites – Amelia, wpDataTables, and Report Builder. In fact, the new support platform is already live for Amelia and wpDataTables, and we encourage you to reach out to us there.
You'll always be able to reach us through a widget in the bottom right corner of each website, where you can ask questions, report issues, or simply get assistance.
While we still do not offer live support, a new advanced, AI-powered assistant, trained on our documentation, use cases, and real conversations with our team, is there to help with basic to intermediate questions in no time.
We're doing our best to make this transition smooth and hassle-free. After June 1st, this current support website will redirect you to the new "Contact Us" pages on our product sites.
Thanks for your continued support and trust – we’re excited to bring you an even better support experience!
Hi , i like to connect a MySql that is hosted on pythonanywhere. It can be done only by ssh . How to dp that in the plugin ?
SettingValueSSH Hostname:your SSH hostnameSSH Username:your PythonAnywhere usernameSSH Password:the password you use to log in to the PythonAnywhere websiteSSH Key file:should not be necessary when you specify the passwordMySQL Hostname:your PythonAnywhere database hostname, eg. yourusername.mysql.pythonanywhere-services.comMySQL Server Port:3306Username:your PythonAnywhere usernamePassword:your PythonAnywhere database passwordDefault Schema:your database name, eg yourusername$mydatabaseHere is what pythonanywhere is telling me :
Hello Dirk
I'm not sure you'll be able to do this, but the info you need looks like you could.
To connect a separate DB connection to wpDataTables, you need to set a connection name (you choose this), choose the type of the connection (MySQL), add database name, host, username, password and port. You can also choose which driver will be used for the connection.
If you have all that, you should be able to connect to the database, but since it's only SSH, don't know if that'll be enough. Please try and let me know. If it doesn't work, can you provide me the connection details, so I can try from my installation?
Kind Regards,

HI Aleksandar,
the problem is, that regarding to this description, you need a password for the ssh connection and a password for the database, whre in your frontend you can specify only one password

Would be a great feature if this could be done. You need an paid pythonanywhre account (5 Euro) per month to test it. I am not allowed to share the data at the meoment.

Hi again Dirk
You're right, and the first sentence on that page says it all:
MySQL databases on PythonAnywhere are protected by a firewall, so external computers can't access them
Anyway, I'll still forward the question to one of our developers. Maybe he has a workaround for this. I'll get back to you as soon as he responds (some time on Monday, since we don't work on weekends).
Kind Regards,

Hi again Dirk
Our developer took a look at this, and he said that there may be a way of doing this through VPN, but you'd need to have the tunnel constantly opened for something like that.
He doesn't know how to do it, but if you are willing to explore this option, I'm sure you'll be able to find some useful info.
Kind Regards,
