DNS Address for McX Plugin

Post by UDK450 »

Alright, so I have a Minecraft package with NFO, and am trying to sync the server with the forums for groups and misc. The plugin McX does this, but I need the DNS address of my website. How do I find this? I looked thru the control panel for the Website, and could not find one. Any assistance is appreciated.

The DNS is your websites domain or subdomain.

EX: xxx.site.nfoservers.com
@Kraze^NFo> Juski has a very valid point
@Juski> Got my new signature, thanks!
@Kraze^NFo> Out of context!
@Juski> Doesn't matter!
@Juski> You said I had a valid point! You can't take it back now! It's out there!

I need it so the plugin can connect to the MySQL database on the web host. So using the URL will work fine? Last time I checked, a DNS I thought was formatted such as an IP address.

xxx.site.nfoservers.com would be a valid form for a DNS entry. An IP address is actually not a valid DNS address.

We also list the connection details for the MySQL server on the "Databases" page of the control panel for webservers.

It appears to still not be working. The config file for the plugin is as follows:

Code: Select all

# Configuration File
mysql:
    forumtype: mybb
    verifyuser: anonymous
    host: exitus.site.nfoservers.com
    port: '3306'
    user: 
    password: 
    database: exitus_forum
    prefix: mybb_
general:
    type: Greylist
    authType: Field
    syncGroups: 'false'
    greylist:
        protection:
            damageEntities: 'true'
            lootItems: 'true'
            dropItems: 'true'
            chat: 'true'
            interact: 'true'
            command: 'true'
field:
    id: '1'
economy:
    moneyPerPost: '0'
Any idea what to do with the verifyuser?

You could try putting in your regular username for verifyuser -- but I'm not sure on that one, since it's not something that MySQL would ask for.

You'll also need to fill in your username and password.

I knew the username and password. Just didn't want those public. Thanks for the help! I will see how it works out.

You may also need to put things in '' -- your database name, user name, and so on.
