This image shows the error pop up when I try to test the connection
Current Set Up: 2015 MacBook Pro. OS 10.15.7
Things that I have tried:
System preferences > MySQL > initialize setup.
Checked Username is correct on AWS RDS set up.
Checked the endpoint address.
Tested connection on a 127.0.0.0 database. Works fine.

Sounds like you have not configured the Security Group related to your RDS instance. You must set up inbound rules for the security group to connect to the database. You can set up one inbound rule for your development environment and another for Elastic Beanstalk (assuming you use that to host your app). Setting up an inbound rule essentially means enabling an IP address to use the database. Once you set up the inbound rules, you can connect to the database from a client such as MySQL Workbench. For information about setting up security group inbound rules, see Controlling Access with Security Groups.

I would like to replicate my WordPress MySQL database as described in the MySQL documentation 5.7 - Replication.
I am attempting to configure an externally hosted instance of Wordpress to act as the Master to a Slave MySQL database hosted on a.n.other platform. Understandably the MySQL .ini file is not visible on the host system, and I am not sure that designating the server id or the Master/Slave status will be available either (if I am wrong about this I will be delighted). I am attempting a solution using WP Data Access, but they are currently locked out of Dropbox and have been for a few days so I am reluctant to commit a vital part of the architecture to them just yet.
Another option has occurred to me - can anyone out there tell me why it wont work (or suggest another solution).
If I were to set up a locally hosted instance of WordPress and configure it to act as Master, and then ported the whole thing to the external host, would the .ini settings etc survive the journey? It may be that these questions are better directed to the host, but their position is that they host WordPress (exclusively) but do not offer any sort of MySQL support.
Have attempted to again access to the .ini file within WordPress's database, with no success.
Have upgraded WP Data Access to Premium, but need a Premium Data Service to connect the host with the other platform and am waiting for the host to get back to me.

Can someone give me a clear explanation of the differences between mysql (command line tool), mysqladmin (client tool for performing administrative tasks) and mysqld (mysql server).
You could easily find that out yourself by just reading the man pages about the three commands:
mysqld is the server executable (one of them)
mysql is the command line client
mysqladmin is a maintainance or administrative utility
They serve different purposes. There is not simply a "difference" between them. For different task you have different utilities. Just like you use a screwdriver for a screw and a hammer for a nail.
If you want to query a database server you need to connect to it using a client. The client connects to the server which serves the mysql service. If you need to do administrative adjustments in the server you need an administration utility.
Typically the server is started and stopped by the operating system it runs on, so at bootup and shutdown times. The clients (there are different types of clients) are started and used by users or programs handling with data inside the server. And the administrative staff uses the administrative tool to administer the servers on their systems.

I currently got a GCE vm, and by default I got a internal IP, and a external IP. The internal is configured on the machine, and external is setup with firewall configurations.
Trying to setup cPanel on this server, it always referes to the internal ip.
Is it possible to run GCE with the external IP on the instance/VM?
Thanks /Fredrik
Currently there is no way to map an external IP address to a GCE instance directly. All communication is NATed to the internal address.
You can, however, access the external address programmatically via the metadata server:
http://metadata/computeMetadata/v1beta1/instance/network-interfaces/0/access-configs/0/external-ip
I've never set up cPanel so I can't give you any guidance there.

I tried installing ejabberd on my linux 12.04 machine but I am a bit confused as to what goes into the ejabberd server domain field. I put in localhost but when I start, it opens an error page. I installed using a binary file I downloaded from the process one website. Anybody knows what exactly should go into that field? Thank You.
Think of the domain name as the name that will serve you. For example, if you create a xmpp server for domain users inside your company example.com, the domain is example.com, since accounts with which users will be connected user1#example.com, user2 # example . com, etc. ..
A single server can serve different domains ejabberd.
As discussed ppolv, usually coincides with the name of your domain in your network, you can configure as well, for example, the DNS server SRV records required for the XMPP protocol.

I came across the bind address while trying to configure the MySQL server. The details of why I want to configure the bind address is in the link below.
Multiple hostnames and multiple privileges?
Now, I want to understand the purpose of the bind address. In the sense, is a binding address the address we assign to the machine that is hosting the MySQL server?
I have no clue. Would be really helpful if someone could explain me the purpose of it. Also, will assigning 0.0.0.0 to the binding address create any security flaws/loop holes?
The address you specify in bind tells MySQL where to listen. 0.0.0.0 is a special address, which means "bind to every available network".
Only client software which is able to open a connection to the server using the same address that is specified in the 'bind' option will be allowed to connect.
Some examples:
If MySQL binds to 127.0.0.1, then
only software on the same computer
will be able to connect (because
127.0.0.1 is always the local computer).
If MySQL binds to
192.168.0.2 (and the server computer's IP address is
192.168.0.2 and it's on a /24 subnet), then any computers on the same
subnet (anything that starts with 192.168.0) will be able to connect.
If MySQL binds to
0.0.0.0, then any computer which is able to reach the server computer
over the network will be able to connect.
These are all transport-level connections. Remote computers still need to qualify for application-level, which is to say they will still require the correct login credentials and host parameters from mysql.user.
