Just created new AWS RDS MySql instance with default settings and user/pass.
Also I set it to be publicly available and to create a new VPC during the process.
Currently can not connect from my laptop to this RDS:
mysql -h endpoint -u myusername -p
error:
ERROR 2003 (HY000): Can't connect to MySQL server on 'endpoint' (60)
How to allow access to it from e.g. my laptop and other computers? If is trough some security groups - where exactly to change and associate with new RDS instance trough console?
Thanks.
On the instance page, just under the monitoring graphs there is a connect block with a list of security groups.
There should be 1 group of type security group - inbound
On that security group's page you should have an inbound tab at the bottom.
Click on Edit et add a new rule for your current IP. Make sure the port is correct.
Now you should be able to connect with mysql -h [ENDPOINT] -P [PORT] -u [USERNAME] -p
If you are behind a proxy this may still fail. You'll have to tunnel your way in or used a shared wifi connection.

I've set up a basic AWS RDS in the free tier. No public access but created a security group with my IP address added as an inbound rule.
For authentication I have RDS password plus AWS IAM.
I try to connect to the db via my computer (Ubuntu) with the following command:
mysql -h <db-conn>.amazonaws.com -P 3306 -u admin -p
I've already looked at this answer - Cant connect to mysql server on AWS RDS My port isn't blocked and I've checked the security group. I am able to successfully run AWS CLI commands like this:
aws rds describe-db-instances --filters "Name=engine,Values=mysql" --query "*[].[DBInstanceIdentifier,Endpoint.Address,Endpoint.Port,MasterUsername]"
But every time I run the mysql command, I get the following error:
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to MySQL server on '<db-conn>.amazonaws.com' (115)
Would love some assistance with this. Thanks!
For being able to connect to your AWS RDS system and not letting anyone to connect you need to do the following steps:
Set your Publicly Accesible property to YES in your RDS configuration. That will give the system a Public Subnet address and allow it to be accesible from outside your VPC.
Go to your security group and allow access to your RDS system (the port 3306 that you are trying to connect) only from your VPC and from your public IP. This makes changes in your firewall rules.
In that way you will be able to access your RDS from your public IP, but noone else will be able to access.
check your ip that config in the security group, it is need your public ip not like '192.168.xxx.xxx', you can get your public ip by google
I am trying to connect with the username, password I've set up with the given host name. I can't connect. I've checked the security group to be configured correctly at PORT allowing incoming from "My IP" which populated my IP there.
What else could I be doing wrong?
When I try to get into the DB using the following command in my terminal:
mysql -h [aws-hostname-endpoint] -P 3306 -u admin -p
I get:
ERROR 2003 (HY000): Can't connect to MySQL server on [aws-hostname-endpoint] (60)
When you setup your RDS instance, also be sure to allow for public access if you want to connect to it from your development machine. SO two things to check:
allow public access for the RDS instance
make sure you inbound rules are setup to allow for a connection from your IP address.
Once you do these two tasks, you will be able to connect via a tool such as MySQL Workbench.
These RDS endpoints are not public (and they shouldn't be), so you can't use them on your computer to connect to them. You could make these endpoints public, but that's not a good idea/design. It's better if you try to connect inside an AWS environment (i.e EC2). Then you can restrict access to that using SSH keys.
We usually create a Bastion server for this purpose to act as a proxy, then you can use an SSH tunnel to connect to the RDS instance. Then all your traffic will be routed through the Bastion server in a secured tunnel.
I was deploying my Django Project on AWS (this is my first time doing this) after a lot of first time learning i got stuck at an error :
django.db.utils.OperationalError: (2005, "Unknown MySQL server host '****.*****.us-east-2.rds.amazonaws.com' (0)")
When i tried migrating my Django Project.I tried multiple solutions but none worked. I tried command mysql -u username -p password -h ****.********.us-east-2.rds.amazonaws.com but this also returned and error.
ERROR 2005 (HY000): Unknown MySQL server host '*****.*********.us-east-2.rds.amazonaws.com' (2)
UPDATE 2: I Tried using command on AWS Documentation mysql -h mysql–instance1.123456789012.us-east-1.rds.amazonaws.com -P 3306 -u mymasteruser -p which have -h before using -u and -p and an input for Port this changed the error which seems like now the connection is not not able to reach the server which seems a reasonable and a better error than before.
ERROR 2003 (HY000): Can't connect to MySQL server on '******.******l2la.us-east-2.rds.amazonaws.com' (10060)
I read in question this about this,they are talking about binding the instance to an IP.How can i do that if that could be the problem?
UPDATE1:
Screenshots:
FIRST RDS INFORMATION
EC2 instance Information
SGs information
If you require any log or information please feel free to ask in the comments.
Thanks
The security group of Database should hold a Value in Inbound Rules :
This Rule should allow connection from your EC2 Instance.Either set the IP Address or set the SG of EC2 Instance.
You can use the Private IP of your instance rather than the Public IP also.
(Not sure about Security Concerns or Advantages.)
Update After a Year: Well you should use private IP and not the same security
group.DB should only be accessible to the EC2 and not to public.
I am getting Error establishing a database connection while trying to connect to mysql on Amazon RDS from my Wordpress instance.
Wordpress is on my AWS Linux EC2 Instance, both are on the same VPC, same Security Group allowing 3306 inbound rule, db credentials in wp-config is also correct.
I am able to connect to my mysql RDS instance while ssh with the following command and it connects fine:
mysql -h "endpoint url" -u "username" -p "password";
However, when accessing the EC2 EIP on the browser to setup my WP final configuration I get the error connecting DB.
Did you check your security group? Because you have to open the MySQL Port 3306.
When you are creating the RDS, it is important to create a new security group, like myRDSgroup, later you have to modify it by open the port 3306 in the source select the security group where your AWS EC2 is located.
Could you send your security group screenshot, please?
I have an RDS instance running and I want to access it from a beanstalk instance. They are both in the same VPC and I have followed the instructions from the amazon documentation link.
Here is my table for the inbound rules I have assigned to the security group of the RDS instance.
The sg-c6...etc is the security group of the beanstalk instance.
When I am trying to run
mysql -u master -ppass -h rds.instanceid.eu-central-1.rds.amazonaws.com dbname
I am getting
ERROR 2003 (HY000): Can't connect to MySQL server on 'rds.instance.eu-central-1.rds.amazonaws.com' (110)
It seems to me like you have an issue with networking restrictions within your VPC.
Please try to login to your AWS account and navigate to the VPC management section. Navigate to Route Table and select your route table. Edit your Subnet Associations and make sure that all subnets are included
By default, MySQL server will run on port 3306 but your security group says 3310. MySQL on RDS will be no different. I would suggest changing the security group port to 3306.
