Can't connect StrongLoop with AWS RDS MySQL instance - mysql

I setup an AWS RDS MySQL instance and was able to connect to it successfully using MySQL Workbench.
However when I use StrongLoop Arc to Test Connection to this MySQL instance using the same credentials, I keep getting a Handshake inactivity timeout error.
Any idea why MySQL Workbench can connect to this MySQL instance but StrongLoop can't?

Grant access to a EC2 and RDS instances [duplicate]

I'm using AWS for my project and Laravel 5. Just installed my laravel project in the EC2 and set up a DB in RDS. I imported the .sql file using mysql workbench. In my .env I set up the host, the DB name, user and password but when I go to the project in the browser I get an error:
PDOException in Connector.php line 55:
SQLSTATE[HY000] [2003] Can't connect to MySQL server on 'blue*****.************.us-west-2.rds.amazonaws.com' (4)
Put the * for security reasons. So what could be wrong?
Update:
When I tried to connect to the RDS instance using the command line I got:
ERROR 2003 (HY000): Can't connect to MySQL server on 'blue****.**********.us-west-2.rds.amazonaws.com' (110)
The reason you are not able to connect to the RDS instance from the EC2 instance has to do with security group.
Before your EC2 instance can communicate with the RDS server, you need to configure a security group for the RDS.

Unable to select a database from EC2 instance to RDS

I am trying to connect to a MYSQL-RDS database using an EC2 instance. I am able to connect to the database, but not able to select any schema. The EC2 instance is on a VPC. Using Ubuntu 14.04.
I tried connecting to the database and selecting it from my local machine which is also has access to the VPC.
I checked the privileges on the MYSQL server and have verified that the username/password/ip that match what the EC2 instance is using.
Any ideas?
