You can print the MySQL <ip>:<port>
using the following command:
rhc ssh <app> 'echo $OPENSHIFT_MYSQL_DB_HOST:$OPENSHIFT_MYSQL_DB_PORT'
However, it's recommended to use OpenShift's environment variables instead of hard-coded numbers, as they are generic and thus you don't need change anything while migrating the app from gear to gear:
/* Environment variables exposed by MySQL database cartridge */
define('DB_HOST', getenv('OPENSHIFT_MYSQL_DB_HOST')); // 127.0.250.1
define('DB_PORT', getenv('OPENSHIFT_MYSQL_DB_PORT')); // 3306
define('DB_USER', getenv('OPENSHIFT_MYSQL_DB_USERNAME')); // admin
define('DB_PASS', getenv('OPENSHIFT_MYSQL_DB_PASSWORD')); // 8ddTnst22X3Y
define('DB_NAME', getenv('OPENSHIFT_APP_NAME')); // myapp
define('DB_SOCKET', getenv('OPENSHIFT_MYSQL_DB_SOCKET')); // $OPENSHIFT_MYSQL_DIR/socket/mysql.sock
define('DB_STRING', getenv('OPENSHIFT_MYSQL_DB_URL')); // mysql://admin:8ddTnst22X3Y@127.0.250.1:3306/

You can ssh into your app and run env | grep MYSQL

You should checkout https://github.com/openshift/wordpress-example/blob/master/php/wp-config.php for an example of how wordpress is configured to work on Openshift – niharvey Feb 03 '14 at 14:41

`rhc ssh -a
gives me "No system SSH available. Please use the --ssh option to specify the path to your SSH executable, or install SSH.", but I can deploy my app with SSH. – alayli Feb 13 '14 at 15:49
SSH into your app using command rhc ssh <app>
after ssh into your app, type in env | grep MYSQL
then find OPENSHIFT_MYSQL_DB_HOST
and copy the value it has something like this OPENSHIFT_MYSQL_DB_HOST = 56********************43-<domain>.rhcloud.com
you need the second part, which is 56********************43-<domain>.rhcloud.com
then while you are still inside the shell (ssh) of your app, ping the address you just got, ping 56********************43-<domain>.rhcloud.com
. the resulting IP is the MYSQL server IP. I usually use the port in OPENSHIFT_MYSQL_DB_URL
attached to the ip.
This may (not sure) differ in different apps.
You can extract the value of OPENSHIFT_MYSQL_DB_URL
from the env | grep MYSQL
command I described above.
The value is something similar to this OPENSHIFT_MYSQL_DB_URL=mysql://<MySQLusername>:<MySQLpassword>@56********************43-<domain>.rhcloud.com:61836
You could extract all the required info from here too.
Good luck on using it!
