I am running into an issue trying to connect to my RDS database with Sequel Pro anywhere outside of the IP Address where the instance was created. I came to this conclusion after trying to connect to my db form two computers with the correct information and good Wi-fi, but I would get a time out error. As a result I followed the AWS instructions to setup a VPC security group with the following setup, MYSQL/Aurora - TCP - 3306 - *my IP address*. I thought this was all that needed to be done, but I'm still getting the error and I'm unsure how to connect the security group to my RDS instance despite reading the documentation. Can anyone help?
The first step to identify the problem is to figure out where your RDS instance lies. Is it inside the VPC or is it in the classic network. This part is very important. Additionally, if it's inside the VPC, when creating it there should have been an option to enable public access or not.
After creating a new security group (I'd look at your current one and copy all the settings to your new one + the mysql access change like you have above). Simply go to the RDS console, click on the instance you want to modify, select actions, modify and adjust your security group.
If you don't have the public access enabled and you are in the VPC then you're options are more limited. You'd probably have to bridge your connection over an existing ec2 instance that can both reach the outside and the VPC. Or like I do, have a VPN into your VPC directly.
Sadly all of this is very dependent on your VPC design, and where things lie on your network diagram. If my answer isn't helpful enough, try and provide more information and I can revise.

Over the last 24 hours I have created and re-created an AWS MySql instance and tried to connect from both MySQL Workbench and CLI from my Windows 10 laptop. I have not been successful. I have set up the database using the "Standard Create" and "Free Tier" templates ensuring that I am connected to the default VPC, the database is "publicly accessible", and using only "password authentication".
After the database has been created, I select the default security group associated with the DB instance, and change the "inbound" rules to accept "All" traffic from "All" protocols in "All" port ranges, from "All" sources (0.0.0.0/0 and ::/0) as well as specific "MySQL/Aurora)" TCP on Port 3306 from "All" sources (0.0.0.0/0 and ::/0).
The "outbound" rules also allows "All" traffic from "All" protocols in "All" port ranges, from "All" sources (0.0.0.0/0 and ::/0) in case the problem is the response getting back to my laptop.
This seems to cover the widely-accepted solutions for making this connection...but even still, I checked my Windows firewall and router to be confirm that port 3306 was not blocked.
Can anyone think of another possible cause for this connection issue? At this point, I must be missing something really simple-stupid, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT 1
I have reviewed the similar issue here: https://serverfault.com/questions/706819/unable-to-connect-to-rds-instance-from-outside-vpc-error-2003-hy000-cant-con?newreg=5b9e8fe57f7644119d6c7e7ba91f2fb2
The route table associated with the 3 subnets for the VPC look like this (with an "igw"):
EDIT 2
My RDS MySQL DB is standalone. I do not have an EC2 instance running. The only EC2 Resources I use are the Security Groups that are associated with my default VPC.
EDIT 3
I finally created a new account on AWS and a brand new mySql DB. I also uninstalled all of my MySql products (Workbench, Server, Installer, etc) and reinstalled workbench. I added one new inbound rule to enable all traffic/ports/sources. With all of these changes, I was able to connect the very first time. The only thing I noticed this time in setting up my database was that the default inbound rule included All Traffic/Ports/Protocols but with the source set to the default security group instead of an IP range.
I am leaving the question unanswered because I don't still know what caused this to work.
Under Connectivity, while you are creating a DB try to create a new VPC and DB Subnet group
new VPC security group makes sure you add inbound rule [all traffic] any pv4
Virtual private cloud (VPC) Settings
Hope it helps I had a hard time with this one
I created a MYSQL Amazon RDS instance and tried accessing it to through MYSQL Workbench from a windows machine.
But I'm getting an 10060 error whereas the Amazon RDS is publicly accessible.
I read some documentation on amazon forums, but I'm unable to understand how to set up VPC.
Any help will be appreciated. thanks.
This error is a result of the inbound connection rule set on your DB instance.
For each RDS database instance we create, there are Inbound & Outbound connection-security groups.
In AWS RDS console, under 'Databases', click on the 'DB Identifier' of your RDS instance. Then in the 'Security group rules' section, click on 'Inbound' type security group and edit the inbound rule to allow appropriate inbound connections.
You get 3 options here, under 'source' column:
Custom
Anywhere (Allows connections from any IP. Not recommended for production.)
My IP (Automatically detects your machine's IP)
I missed enabling public accessibility while creating RDS. We can enable it later too in the modify section of RDS. Hope it helps someone.
1st: add inbound rule.
-rds console
- instances
- details > Security groups(click link)
- EC2 Managment Console
- at the bottom of the page tab "inbound"
- edit > add rule
Choose Type: MYSQL/Aurora, Source: My ip
-save
2nd: if problem remainded try make sign out/sign in. It helped me two times contract.
I keep running into this error while connecting to my newly built RDS MySQL instance
ERROR 2003 (HY000): Can't connect to MySQL server on
'****.ap-southeast-1.rds.amazonaws.com' (60)
I wouldn't say I am an expert, as I have several EC2 instances running and able to connect.
And I have all the security groups created and necessary permissions for inbound added accordingly. But i just quite connect to the RDS instance.
1. I have re-recreated with guide from AWS document, created new VPC group and dedicated DB security group.
2. Gone through most of the responses from similar questions, and applied the suggested resolutions (which is adding own public IP in the inbound rules) etc..
Any help?
1)
Make sure that the server is running
telnet ****.ap-southeast-1.rds.amazonaws.com 3306
2) Make sure that the server is not bind to specific address.
bind-address = 127.0.0.1
3) Make sure that the IP address that you have added to security group is correct. Don't forget the /32 for a single ip. You can get IP address from
/sbin/ifconfig
4) Make sure that there are no firewalls on outbound traffic on the host from which you are trying to connect
Does your RDS configured as publicly accessible? If not, you can only connect it within your VPC.
Thanks everybody. I was able to resolve the problem. The supported platform uses the EC2,VPC, so my AWS account is in the current region that does not use a default VPC. I dumped everything out, created VPC using wizard, then the security group. Then re-created the DB instance, assigned it the new VPC i re-created. Thanks for your efforts.
I have the following setup:
An EC2 instance hosting both an application server and a database (mysql), belonging to a security group: let's call it "AppServerSG", and assigned an elastic Public IP (AWS also assigns it a private IP).
Various EC2 worker instances which need to connect to the application server's database when booting up. These worker instances belong to another security group: let's call it "WorkerSG".
The inbound rules for the Security Groups look as follows.
For AppServerSG:
80 (HTTP) 0.0.0.0/0
3306 (MYSQL) WorkerSG
For WorkerSG
80 (HTTP) AppServerSG
So essentially only the application server should be reachable from outside, and the workers and application should be able to communicate with each other.
However connecting to the database from a worker instance only succeeds when the database host is set as the application server's private IP, not the public elastic IP.
The only way to connect to the database from a worker instance using the application server's public IP seems to require changing the MYSQL rule to allow all connections (0.0.0.0/0) on the AppServerSG, which is something I'm very reluctant to do out of security concerns.
Hard-coding the private IP into the worker instances is also not such a good idea, since every time the app server instance is stopped/restarted, it is assigned a new private IP, which would then require manually changing the database address that each worker instance needs to connect to.
I'm basically wondering if someone has run into similar trouble because this doesn't seem like the way things should work, so either I'm doing something wrong in my setup, or there's a workaround somehow.
Would very much appreciate the help !
Edit:
The motivation behind this setup is that in the event that I want to take the whole thing offline, I can safely bring it back online without having to change the configurations of the application server and the workers.
Had I used RDS, when taking the application offline/online again I would have to take a snapshot of the DB and stop it, then create a new DB based on the snapshot, which would have a different address, which would then bring me back to the problem of changing the configuration.
Honestly if I'm going to have to edit the configuration every time I restart the application anyway, I'd rather have the database on the application server and save myself the costs associated with RDS.
The main issue here is that I don't understand why the security groups don't seem to apply when I'm using the public elastic IP for the database address, is it by design on the AWS side, or a mistake in the configuration somewhere on my part ?
Really the recommended configuration would have you using an RDS DB instance, setting your DB security group to accept connections from the appropriate EC2 security groups only. In this configuration, you CAN set up your DB user like user#% and still enforce access to the DB only to the specified EC2 security groups.
In this way, you shift the burden of DB access control to the AWS security model, rather than MySQL user configuration. Of course, you would still need to configure DB users to have access only to those appropriate resources within the DB.
I'm trying to connect to MySql on Amazon RDS from my computer, using MySql WorkBench, or HeidiSql or even the console Mysql.exe and i'm getting this error all the time:
ERROR 2003 (HY000): Can't connect to MySQL server on 'MY-SERVER-NAME' (10060)
In the Security group of the instance I created a new Inbound rule that allows all traffic, and applied it, and still - same error.
I have no active Firewall on my computer, and have good internet access
I am able to access the DB from the Amazon EC3 server, there I am connecting using HeidiSql, and the exact same settings (host, username, password) is just not working on my computer
Still, nothing is working. I'm pretty sure that my security groups is configured to allow outside connections, as can be seen on the next screenshot, there is another place with firewall rules?
I was having the same problem when using an RDS instance on a VPC that I wanted to connect to remotely. To fix the problem, I needed to do the following:
Go to the VPC Management Console in AWS
Go to Internet Gateways (on the left side)
Create and attach an internet gateway to my VPC. Make note of the ID of this gateway.
Go to Route Tables
Edit the route table associated with the subnets associated with your RDS instance
Add a route:
Destination: 0.0.0.0/0
Target: ID of your Internet Gateway
I didn't have this route in my table because I created my VPC manually and without using the wizard, but if you use the wizard it creates this route for you automatically.
Note: This assumes that your security groups are already configured to allow your IP to connect.
The 2003 error is the Access-Denied Error I would be willing to bet that you haven't configured the RDS to accept your IP address.
This can be done by going to DB Security Groups -> Click Default -> and add a new CIDR/IP range. I believe that if you set it to 0.0.0.0/0 it will accept all ip addresses
I use SQLyog for connecting to Amazon RDS from my machine.

The security group settings are just firewall rules. If you can telnet on your configured MySQL port from the host you are having problems then you don't have the security group issue.
Chances are the MySQL grants are not allowing outside IPs. If you know the root user/password and you can use it to connect from your EC2 instance that works, make sure the user you are using to connect from outside has the right privileges. Here is the doc on how to add a new privilege or create a new user:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/grant.html
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/adding-users.html
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/access-denied.html
Did you assign the security group to your RDS instance? If you didn't modify the default security group, then you need to add your security group to your RDS instance.
In my case, my company had two different network connections. When I went to google and searched "What is my IP?" I got one answer; 209.x.y.z. When I went to checkip.amazonaws.com I got another answer; 199.a.b.c.
I had already added VPC Security Group Rules for 209.x.y.z and it turned out I needed them for 199.a.b.c.
Adding rules for 199.a.b.c fixed the issue.
I had same problem as you, all firewall have been opened, but still can not access to my RDS mysql remotely from my local machine. my finally workout is there is a "Public Accessibility" option on your RDS database. default is "No", after I tick it to "YES", everything is running smoothly now.
