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 know that this is likely not the right place to ask this question but I am at a loss as to where else to go. I signed up on remotemysql.com to create a (free) database. The data that I store in there means a lot to me, and in the last day or so, I am no longer able to connect to the server (neither from MySQL Workbench nor a python application that wrote data to it). The error I get is a 2003 error: connection refused
I haven't changed my credentials at all and have not violated any of the terms and conditions. Has anybody ever had this issue before? Or does anybody know how to get in touch with the maintainers of remotemysql to help troubleshoot?
Thanks so much for the help.
For anyone who is looking at this thread, my DB instance has been restored. Not sure what happened and will probably never find out, but I guess this comes with the territory.
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.
Having trouble with the final steps of this wordpress launcher guide from google.
I've built my page on the localhost and happily pressed "deploy" then eagerly waited for my little bird to fly. Imagine my chagrine when it feel lame, unable to connect reach it's friend, the google cloud sql servers.
First I tried to fix it by using the command supplied by google here:
mysql --host=instance-IP --user=user-name --password
But I was greeted with only
You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '--host=ip --user=name --pass' at line 1
I tried a number of different versions to no avail. I searched the forums which suggested using mySQL workbench, a tool with which I am familiar.
Here too I was met with numerous errors.
Failed to Connect to MySQL at 2601:4:2d80:a6f:10ff:c984:174e:f135 :0 with user root
Both for reasons (0)
and for reasons (2)
Unknown MySQL server host 'ip-address' (2)
Error 0 is supposed to be, according to google:
If Google Cloud SQL rejects the connection, for example, because the IP address your client is connecting from is not authorized, [this will be the] error you receive
That doesn't make sense because I've a) given them my ip and b) there currently is no password (cleared it out while trying to figure out what could be wrong).
Basically I'm at my wits end. I've looked around fairly extensively (I've spent the last 6 hours trying to fix this) and can't get what seems like it should be something fairly simple to work.
Basically what I'm saying is: help me stack overflow, you're my apps only hope.
thanks.
Ok, final solution! basically after so many attempts I isolated it down to being that the cloud sql wasn't accepting my ip address.
This narrowed my thinking to a) I hadn't entered the correct ip address (logical), or b) I was behind a proxy and didn't know it.
I ran ipconfig and then entered every possible ip from that, as well as the standard "what is my ip" google search and entered that as well. No dice. This lead me back to option b) firewall or proxy. I searched "am I behind a proxy"? which lead me to link.
This returned a different IPv4 than the google "what is my ip" address, I entered that and success! it worked. Why this different ip address worked where the google search and ipconfig search did not is beyond me, so anyone chiming in here about why/where to find it consistently are very welcome.
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.
Actually I'm having more than one problem...but all of it has to do with connecting or working with the MySQL database...First you can see one of the errors on my website and no matter what you choose it seems to just say it can't connect to the database...I've configured a configure.php file to allow files to connect to the MySQL database...see the website here:
http://netsurfer123.byethost11.com/index.php
Then when I try to log-in to the Admin area of my MySQL database it just says:
phpMyAdmin - Error
Cannot start session without errors, please check errors given in your PHP and/or webserver log file and configure your PHP installation properly.
Please let me know what I can do to correct these errors...and thanks very much in advanced for any helpful response/s.
First you need to check if the MySQL server is actually running. Use a command such as
/etc/rc.d/init.d/mysqld status
Or similar for your system if possible.
Did you check the web server log file? Does it contain errors as indicated by phpMyAdmin?
Your site is simply unable to connect to the database to which it's trying to connect. This could be for any number of potential reasons:
Is the database running?
Is the database accessible by that machine? (Maybe there's a firewall in between the two servers, if they're separated?)
If the database is on that same machine, are you connecting to it properly? (Maybe it allows only certain connection methods, such as a socket vs. the loopback address?)
Is your connection string correct? Maybe the login is failing?
Check your PHP logs, your Apache logs, your MySQL logs. One of them is complaining about something and it's probably trying to tell you what.
