alpha3

After loading a working openpublish instance from my desktop to Acquia devcloud via svn, the deploy failed with the following error:

PDOException: SQLSTATE[HY000] [2013] Lost connection to MySQL server at 'reading initial communication packet', system error: 111 in lock_may_be_available() (line 167 of /mnt/www/html/jkrivanedev/docroot/openpublish/includes/lock.inc).

Not sure what to do from here.

I would like to create a test instance of OpenPublish Alpha3 on Acquia's hosting service, which is controlled by a dashboard that only offers the Drupal 6 version of OpenPublish. Pretty sure I do not have shell access with this account. It is possible to import an existing site, but that would mean first setting up, then presumably installing-over the vanilla version of Drupal 7. I was able to do this locally, but I'm concerned this might not go well remotely. Has anyone already tried this? I am asking here, because my understanding is that Phase2/OP works very closely with Acquia.
