How to find MySQL database in AWS - mysql

This may sound like a silly question, but my client had me working on a dev version of his website, and now wants me to push changes to the live AWS server.
He's given me access, however I can't for the life of me find the MySQL database in AWS. I am given to understand it should be located under RDS but there seems to be nothing there:
Can someone tell me where to find it then? Did the client send me to the wrong server or something? He is not technical at all so not of any help.

You can use the tag editor to find all the resources that are running in the aws account (which can be tagged). Go to the tag editor and then select all region and resources to see where the db is running. Maybe its running under some other region and you are looking in the wrong region. Hope that helps

Can't log in to an app running on LocalHost - no network activity?

I'm working on an app with a team. They are able to log in fine when running it on their local servers, however when I try to do so I get 'Invalide username / password' and no network activity or console errors in dev tools.
I have no idea why this could be, we're working on the exact same code - clearly it's something on my machine.
Has anyone come across anything like this before?
(Have tried other browsers and still nothing).
Maybe you need to check your server instalation on your machine.
For example, if you are using XAMPP to manage your Apache maybe there is some configuration that was set in the wrong way.
My advice is, save your code and re-install your server, pay attention to all configuration details and see if the problem is solved.

Accessing webserver

I have a vague question and I'm not excactly a computer specialist, so don't be too hard on me.
I have a program running on a linux server, which is assembled in a html document, which I run on the linux server using firefox. Basically it's a number of png pictures, which I can interact with. I can click on them, and data about this particular picture appear. This data stems from a mysql database.
Everything is working fine on the linux server.
Now I'm trying to acces this program through another computer coupled up on our local network, by pressing the url of the linux server into a webbrowser. This also works. I see excactly the same png files, except when I click on them, nothing happens. It seems there is no connection to the mysql server, where the data is on.
I know it's vague, but does anyone have a clue about what I might be doing wrong?
Thank you
First step see the permissions on the server side!
Second step see how you are doing the connections!
For more help you have to explain how you are doing these two steps.
I had a similar problem with a file upload and it was due to errors performing these two steps.

How to connect RDS with phpmyadmin - AWS

I am new to Amazon Web Services. I want to import my .sql file to phpmyadmin. EC2 and RDS instsnces are launched succesfully. Now How can I get newly created db in phpmyadmin?
I have searched on that and got some blogs and solution and as per those have added IP address of server on which my phpMyAdmin is installed. Now I don't know the furthe procedure. Can anyone please help me?
I tried to update etc/httpd/conf.d/phpMyAdmin.conf but I don't have permission to access that file. How can I get permission for that? Do I need to create IAM user?
Best installation tutorial I've seen on this came from Andrew Puch on Github. Just google Andrew Puch and github and you'll find the installation procedures laid out for you, and he did a Youtube video on the subject as well.
As for the rest of it, it is a tangle of server settings and parameter group settings that I have yet to figure out. if anyone else has got a handle on it, I would be eager to find out.

Trying to get a local MySQL database to work with GAE development server

Soo, I've decided to toy around a bit with GAE. Most of my previous experience with developing web-applications is with ASP.Net, so this java / eclipse-world is kinda unfamiliar to me.
I read around, and found out that I can configure my project to use a Google Cloud SQL instance when it's deployed at Google, while using a local MySQL database while running locally on my development server.
The problem I ran in to now is that I can simply not press "Ok" in the eclipse dialog for configuring my local MySQL database? Well - I can, but with no result. No error message, no window close, no nothing.
I'm not really sure what I am doing wrong, but was hoping some wiz in here who has more experience than me with GAE have had a similar problem and a solution?
I've attached a picture of my local MySQL configuration:

How to log Windows 7 network traffic & disk usage with MySQL?

I'm running Windows 7 Pro and have a few servers running. One of the servers is a SSH / file server that was made via Cygwin. I already have logging setup internally using syslog-d; however, it does not provide adequate logging. When a user is connected to the server I can see him/her in the Windows 7 Resource Monitor and it shows his/her IP address as well as how much data is being sent/received. When a user is downloading a file from the file server I can also see in the resource monitor what file he/she is downloading by looking at the disk usage.
Herein lies the first question: How can I log users' IP address, the time they connect & disconnect, what files they download, and what their download speed was, to a database in MySQL?
In addition to the aforementioned server, I also use IIS to host a website, and would like to have some sort of networking logging.
If I could find a tool that would work for both of these servers that would be the best solution.
I did some searching and found a program called Snort that looks like it would work for the network side of things, but not for the disk usage. I'm not familiar with this program at all, but at first glance maybe it could accomplish part of what I want to do? Maybe there is an easier/better way?
I'm pretty new to MySQL and know very little about network and disk logging so any and all help and guidance would be much appreciated. Thanks!
Advanced Web Statistics does a pretty good job of making sense of the IIS log files, and though it will give you more information than you need, it will certainly give you the information you want. It is open source, and my hosting provider uses it for the ASP.NET sites I have developed.
As far as logging the information to MySQL:
I am assuming that you already have, or know how to get the information and you simply want to log it to a MySQL DB.
1st, you will need to create the database.
2nd, you need the MySQL connector for your programming language of choice. The MySQL ADO.NET connector is excellent and easy to use. I am also assuming you know at least one programming language and how to connect it to a database. If not, I recommend C# with ADO.NET-- it is super easy and there are plenty of tutorials online.
3rd, write a program to send your information to the database, when you receive it.
