Hey Aanand, feel free to PM or email me, and I will walk you through setup, etc.

Hi Gumshoe2029, thanks for your reply!

I have emailed as the scirra forum did not let me PM you.

Hope you get a chance to read my email!

Yea, you have a server tied either to a file set or a database. Players' accounts are saved request to request by using HTTP sessions on the server of your choice.

You can use Amazon Web Services to setup a free EC2 virtual server hosted on their network for a year.

Hi Gumshoe,

I was wondering how I would access DynamoDB from construct 2?

Or how could I access the RDS database using mySQL from construct 2?

Thanks

We use and love Amazon Web Services for all of our server needs. They offer a free server in the cloud for a year too, after which it is like 20USD/mo for a micro server. All of our servers are based on their Oregon cloud, but you can get cloud servers at any of their facilities around the world. You login to your server using SSH via puTTY and winSCP (for Linux servers; Do not use Windows servers!).

We are presently using three servers and one database. One server for our security gateway/proxy, one for our game client, and one for our website/forums. All of our servers together with the database cost around 100USD/mo.

From there, you can use PHP/Python/Java based on a variety of installable software like Apache Web Server, Apache Tomcat, etc. Then you create an application program interface (API) for your client to talk to your server. Then you use AJAX to communicate between C2 and your server. You probably want a database (MySQL, PostgresQL, Cassandra, etc.) too, which you can either rent from AWS or install on your micro server yourself.

I can go into a lot more detail in PM if you are interested.

Hi gumshoe! I was wondering if you could help me out about connecting construct 2 with AWS? It would really help me out! Could I PM you?

How do I connect MongoDB with construct 2?

I want to know because I want to access DynamoDB (AWS) through construct 2

My app stores simple text data on the server

Thanks!

You will need to build a back end using whatever language you are comfortable with and then access it via the ajax plugin. You will need to set up authentication as well, the safest way to do that is using oauth.

The most common frameworks for developing social game backends from scratch are:

Node.js (Javascript) and Tornado (Python)

You could probably use PHP but it will get messy fast, it will be allright for prototyping though.

For databases the usual suspects; mysql, postgresql and MongoDB will all work.

That's just my 2 cents worth.

How do I connect MongoDB to Construct 2?

Hi Rex!

I am wondering if you could answer one question I have.

Is it possible to connect a Amazon Web Services RDS database with Construct 2?

Thank you so so much!

So Here is what my app is about:

It pulls data, specifically country data from a CSV file stored on a server. This country data lists different parameters such as economy (GDP) of the country, the land mass, and the population.

The server is currently setup as a XAMPP local server.

I now have a RDS database on Amazon Web Services, how am I supposed to put my data from the csv onto this database and how can I pull data from this database?

Any thoughts? I really need to know as soon as possible. Thanks!

Hey,

Has anyone ever done a construct 2 application with a RDS database using mySQL with AWS???

I really don't know how to do this with construct 2, any suggestions?
