I followed this article to setup mysql server in my aws vm. At the time of creation of the vm itself I had allowed inbound traffic to port 3306 from all ip addresses.
After creating an admin account, I cannot access the account from outside the vm using sql workbench. I made changes in the property file to change the bind-address to 0.0.0.0 so that remote connections maybe allowed from outside. That also did not help.
What am I missing here? I did everything and still it won't connect. Appreciate any help on the matter.
AWS Security Groups
Based on the comments.
The issue was that mysql was setup to allow access from localhost. To solve the problem, external access needed to be allowed. This can be done by following the guide:
How To Allow Remote Access to MySQL

I located the /etc/mysql/my.cnf file
I changed the bind-address
first to 0.0.0.0 I received a '111 Connection refused'
then I changed it to the instance I am trying to connect to It still says '111 Connection refused'
the firewall rule allows connection on port 3306 using internal ip so I dont know the problem. Thanks
It seems that you have already taken the necessary steps to connect to MySQL server from GCE your instance. Based on the Stackoverflow case here the recommendation to resolve this problem is to comment this line below (add # at the beginning of the line) in your my.cnf file:
skip-networking
Once done you need to restart MySQL service
sudo service mysql restart
On the GCP side, if you have allowed the IP ranges you want to use with the specified port(3306), it should work fine.
You can also use “nmap” command to verify if port 3306 is open on your GCE instance with MySQL installed.
GCP provides CloudSQL which is a managed MySQL instance. You can access CloudSQL from your GCE VM using private address. This feature reached beta recently. This link provides detailed information about using private IP to connect to your Cloud SQL instances.
Before configuring a Cloud SQL instance to use private IP, you need some steps to be taken. This document provides step by step instructions for configuring an instance to use private IP.
You can use 'netstat -tunlp | grep 3306' command to verify that the MYSQL process is running on port 3306.
This error can also occur when mysql user account does not accept connections from any IP addresses. It may still use localhost parameter to connect to the server. I would recommend adding a user with remote access or granting existing user access to remote sources. You can see this: link for the similar issue and follow the steps recommended there to resolve.
I keep running into this error while connecting to my newly built RDS MySQL instance
ERROR 2003 (HY000): Can't connect to MySQL server on
'****.ap-southeast-1.rds.amazonaws.com' (60)
I wouldn't say I am an expert, as I have several EC2 instances running and able to connect.
And I have all the security groups created and necessary permissions for inbound added accordingly. But i just quite connect to the RDS instance.
1. I have re-recreated with guide from AWS document, created new VPC group and dedicated DB security group.
2. Gone through most of the responses from similar questions, and applied the suggested resolutions (which is adding own public IP in the inbound rules) etc..
Any help?
1)
Make sure that the server is running
telnet ****.ap-southeast-1.rds.amazonaws.com 3306
2) Make sure that the server is not bind to specific address.
bind-address = 127.0.0.1
3) Make sure that the IP address that you have added to security group is correct. Don't forget the /32 for a single ip. You can get IP address from
/sbin/ifconfig
4) Make sure that there are no firewalls on outbound traffic on the host from which you are trying to connect
Does your RDS configured as publicly accessible? If not, you can only connect it within your VPC.
Thanks everybody. I was able to resolve the problem. The supported platform uses the EC2,VPC, so my AWS account is in the current region that does not use a default VPC. I dumped everything out, created VPC using wizard, then the security group. Then re-created the DB instance, assigned it the new VPC i re-created. Thanks for your efforts.
I'm trying to connect MySQL Workbench to an Amazon EC2 (Linux) instance that hosts a MySQL Database. (Not RDS but localhost). However for some reason, I can't get it to connect remotely.
Things Ive done:
- Set the security group to allow any IP to access port 3306
- Created a mysql user and granted all privledges on it.
- Modified the my.cnf to include bind-address=0.0.0.0 However i still cant connect.
On this instance I do have SSL cert installed and I am forwarded all http request to https?.. But im not sure if this has anything to do with it.
If anyone could guide my in the righ direction I would appreciate it.
I would personally give it an Elastic IP so it will have a public IP, then bind the mysql to that IP. Make sure the iptables are set to accept the mysql connections. I also wouldnt suggest leaving mysql open to every ip unless this is an absolute necessity.
I have seen a lot of posts that claim they are running an RDS instance of MySql in which they cannot connect to, but I am not running RDS.
I used my EC2 insance to host my wordpress blog which was installed using the Web Platform Installer.
This setup the wordpress schema and data that I needed and I have been running it for a couple years.
I want to be able to access this database remotely instead of only logging into my server.
I have checked and have the following users
root
wpadmin
I have also verified that the port specified in the mysql config is the standard 3306 and I have setup an Inbound Firewall rule to allow 3306 through.
When I try to connect from MySql Workbench, I get the following error message:
Number 3 Is particularly one that I do not know how to check, but I do know that MySql is running and that it is running on 3306. Additionally, I know I am using the correct password.
When I try to connect, the prompt looks like this. Do I need to do something to grant Mysql user permissions or anything?
Based on your GRANT information, you have at least the problem of root user only having access privileges from localhost. You would need to create a root#% user (or a more specific host/IP instead of % if you have a reliable address). That would allow external access so long as your EC2 security group also allow access on port 3306 (either globally or to a more restrictive IP address or IP range).
Of course the security implication here is that you are opening up access to MySQL that you might not want to make more accessbile to potential attackers. For this reason, I would recommend you access your DB via SSH tunnel, which is supported by MySQL workbench. This will in essence allow you to shell into the host your your access key and then access as root#localhost.
I'm trying to connect to MySql on Amazon RDS from my computer, using MySql WorkBench, or HeidiSql or even the console Mysql.exe and i'm getting this error all the time:
ERROR 2003 (HY000): Can't connect to MySQL server on 'MY-SERVER-NAME' (10060)
In the Security group of the instance I created a new Inbound rule that allows all traffic, and applied it, and still - same error.
I have no active Firewall on my computer, and have good internet access
I am able to access the DB from the Amazon EC3 server, there I am connecting using HeidiSql, and the exact same settings (host, username, password) is just not working on my computer
Still, nothing is working. I'm pretty sure that my security groups is configured to allow outside connections, as can be seen on the next screenshot, there is another place with firewall rules?
I was having the same problem when using an RDS instance on a VPC that I wanted to connect to remotely. To fix the problem, I needed to do the following:
Go to the VPC Management Console in AWS
Go to Internet Gateways (on the left side)
Create and attach an internet gateway to my VPC. Make note of the ID of this gateway.
Go to Route Tables
Edit the route table associated with the subnets associated with your RDS instance
Add a route:
Destination: 0.0.0.0/0
Target: ID of your Internet Gateway
I didn't have this route in my table because I created my VPC manually and without using the wizard, but if you use the wizard it creates this route for you automatically.
Note: This assumes that your security groups are already configured to allow your IP to connect.
The 2003 error is the Access-Denied Error I would be willing to bet that you haven't configured the RDS to accept your IP address.
This can be done by going to DB Security Groups -> Click Default -> and add a new CIDR/IP range. I believe that if you set it to 0.0.0.0/0 it will accept all ip addresses
I use SQLyog for connecting to Amazon RDS from my machine.

The security group settings are just firewall rules. If you can telnet on your configured MySQL port from the host you are having problems then you don't have the security group issue.
Chances are the MySQL grants are not allowing outside IPs. If you know the root user/password and you can use it to connect from your EC2 instance that works, make sure the user you are using to connect from outside has the right privileges. Here is the doc on how to add a new privilege or create a new user:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/grant.html
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/adding-users.html
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/access-denied.html
Did you assign the security group to your RDS instance? If you didn't modify the default security group, then you need to add your security group to your RDS instance.
In my case, my company had two different network connections. When I went to google and searched "What is my IP?" I got one answer; 209.x.y.z. When I went to checkip.amazonaws.com I got another answer; 199.a.b.c.
I had already added VPC Security Group Rules for 209.x.y.z and it turned out I needed them for 199.a.b.c.
Adding rules for 199.a.b.c fixed the issue.
I had same problem as you, all firewall have been opened, but still can not access to my RDS mysql remotely from my local machine. my finally workout is there is a "Public Accessibility" option on your RDS database. default is "No", after I tick it to "YES", everything is running smoothly now.
