Server side validation fail

[rafizan46]

Hi, i want to learn make server side validation, but it keep saying "could not verify serial number". Where do i make mistake?

Here is where i stored my php file.
https://storage.googleapis.com/cracklib/validate.php

Hi, I already change the php file host, the message "could not verify serial number" is gone. But when I fill in details, when I click next, nothing happens..
Together I attach the DB details, hope it helps, thanks

Here is the new location:
http://swordfish.rf.gd/validate.php

Nevermind, i just realised i cant use free hosting to store my db. But i already host my db & validatation file in GCP. Now I get the same error, the serial number is invalid, although I already key in the SN in DB.

Hello,

If the key is already in the database, then the problem may be the fact that your script can not access the database on the server.

The script must be able to receive the information sent by the installer, connect to the database, verify the information and issue a response.

Assuming that GCP stands for Google Cloud Platform, I have found the following articles which you may find useful:

1. Creating and managing MySQL databases

2. Connecting to Cloud SQL from external applications

Hope this helps somehow!
