title: MySQl and R : Error connecting Database
body: <p>I am a novice in R.
  I am trying to connect to mySQL in R through RMyQL package.
  I am using the following command to connect to a sql server </p>
  
  <pre><code>ucscdb&lt;-dbConnect(MySQL(),user="xxxx",password="xxxx",dbname="More",host="http://54.89.81.190/phpmyadmin/").
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I am getting following error</p>
  
  <pre><code>**Error in .local(drv, ...) : 
    Failed to connect to database: Error: Unknown MySQL Server Host 'http://54.89.81.190/phpmyadmin/' (11001)**
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>What can be the possible reasons.The same SQl server is easily connecting in linux/</p>
