I am new to MySQL Workbench and AWS RDS. I keep getting the following error.
I've looked at other questions on stackoverflow + youtube regarding this connection but it still seems to not work. I've made sure that the Public Access option is switched to yes, I've added an Inbound Rule to allow my IP in the Security Group, I've also added an Inbound Rule to accept from anywhere as well. I've recreated the database to see if something may have been bugged, and I have uninstalled and reinstalled MySQL workbench. I've deleted any existing profiles under the VPC section and allowed the new database to recreate everything. I've enabled and disabled my Windows firewall as well to make sure that didn't somehow affect anything.
Unfortunately I am still getting the same error, and looking for any assistance. Hopefully it's something simple and I am just missing over it.
Thank you for your help in advance.
Edit: Forgot to mention, that I have tried it with the username set to the default "admin" and then I changed it to root as MySQL Workbench had that set in their default connection options.
You're trying to login as the root user, which is restricted on RDS. You have to login as the user account you specified when creating the RDS instance.

I just opened an account on Amazon AWS. In this account, I created a mysql database instance, that I am now trying to connect to on my home computer use mySQL Workbench. I have entered the database endpoint (as listed in my account) and added the user name I set up for the master username for the database. When I hit "test connection" (using standard TCP/IP connection) however, I get a "Failed to connect..." message. I have a feeling that the problem may be that I need to use SSL and/or SSH. But I am a neophyte here, and I don't know how to properly set this up or configure mySQL Workbench with this. I am seeking assistance
You need to allow your mysql server to the user my user policy.
You can allow your Public IP address.
Please refer below case:

I think there that my database instance was misconfigured somehow, though not as JERRY suggests. I created a new MySQL DB instance and was able to connect to that without needing any other special configuration changes. So I am now using the new instance, and have deleted the old one. I wish I could provide more insight into what the problem with the first DB was, but the insight I have is (as I said) after I created the 2nd DB instance, no other configuration was necessary
I have read countless guides and threads on how to connect to RDS database with MySQL Workbench and I do exactly as specified (I believe), but I still haven't managed to get a connection.
There must be something I am overlooking and simply don't understand. Let me know if I need to give more information. Any help is much appreciated. Thank you!
I have made sure that public accessibility is set to yes. Here is a summary of my database in RDS:
And the configurations of my database:
I try to connect to the database with Standard (TCP/IP):
And get the following error every time:
For some reason nothing happens when I click "Test Connection", but at one point I got the error 10060. Don't know if this helps though. I tried googling it but none of the solutions worked for me.
I have been stuck at this for some time now and simply don't understand what I am doing wrong.
Thank you very much,
cheers
You might have not open the port (3307) for your ip address in the used security groups.
Check the used security groups for inbound rule, allowing traffic to port 3307 from your ip address.
Simply click on the security group to get to the configuration page.
Here a hint:

I am running a db.t2.micro instance on AWS RDS. I used to be able to connect to it via MySQL workbench, but now I can't anymore. Nothing has changed though.
I even re-entered the end point, admin name and password, even though they we're the same still, but still cannot connect.
My elastic beanstalk application that relies on the DB however can still access it. So I suspected the public access had been changed, but that's still enabled too.
Any ideas how to fix this?
Here is the error I am getting:

I have checked all the points.
Thanks for any help!
i've setup a new mysql user on a server that allows access from other servers. i can access it from my dev machine using the credentials i setup.
But on one of my other servers nothing happens when trying to log into mysql using the same credentials that worked on my dev box. any ideas what it might be?
all it does is hang.
Nothing gets added to log files on either the new DB server or the one i'm trying to access from.
i also tested this connection from another server, just to test if my dev box was a fluke andi could access. So all i can think is there's something "wrong" with the server i cant access from.
Please post your query that executes to create this user and privileges.
If you can’t remember the queries you can execute this in your target server to get details about user
SHOW GRANTS for 'root'#'localhost';
You may check these things also .
Firewall setup for the server from the trouble machine.
Can this machine connect to another sql server provided with similar access?
Execute select * from mysql.user ; and check you don’t have duplicates with
different access privileges or passwords .
turns out i had everything setup correctly, as i said i was able to use the same user across other servers just not this one.
turns out my server provider had a network firewall restricting mysql connections. removed and hey presto.
thanks #csf
I'm trying to connect to our SQL Server box from our web server. The only thing i've been able to find regarding the issue is to enable tcp/ip and mixed authentication.
TCP/IP is already enabled
Mixed authentication mode is selected
we already have 1 user successfully connecting to a different database so I know TCP/IP and mixed authentication are working.
Logging in as the problem user from sql manager works fine.
I get the same error creating an ODBC connection as well as a ColdFusion SQL Server data source.
According to the log files, which isn't logging all the attempts also indicates State 40, which is "Default database could not be accessed (SQL 2008)."
I've check and the default database is the one I want to open. The Schema is DBO.
Any help would be appreciated.
Make sure your user password not longer than 16 characters.
I apologize for not answering this sooner. To be honest I completely forgot about the question until I got a 'Notable Question' badge from it. Unfortunately, I'm afraid it won't help anyone as the problem was caused due to bad information from the network admins. They moved our SQL server to another box but did not shut down the old instance. Essentially, they gave me the old IP to connect to. Once I got the correct IP to the new box everything worked perfectly. The user I thought was connecting was an older account that was already established prior to the 'move' so the account existed on the old box.
If your box has multiple IP's on it, make sure the Cold Fusion server's IP address (that it's binded to) is allowed access to the SQL box. I've come across this problem in the past. I don't know if you're using a firewall or not to restrict access...but this was a problem I've encountered in the past.
