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.

I followed this article to setup mysql server in my aws vm. At the time of creation of the vm itself I had allowed inbound traffic to port 3306 from all ip addresses.
After creating an admin account, I cannot access the account from outside the vm using sql workbench. I made changes in the property file to change the bind-address to 0.0.0.0 so that remote connections maybe allowed from outside. That also did not help.
What am I missing here? I did everything and still it won't connect. Appreciate any help on the matter.
AWS Security Groups
Based on the comments.
The issue was that mysql was setup to allow access from localhost. To solve the problem, external access needed to be allowed. This can be done by following the guide:
How To Allow Remote Access to MySQL
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 have no idea how to connect mySQL to amazon EC2 Instance. Here is the screenshot of mySQL workbench: mySQL. I try to change the HostName to the Public IP being provided by the instance, however when i press test connection, it keep promoting this error: Error Message. So what should i do as of now? Thanks!!
Since I cannot put a comment, pardon me for putting this to the

Error 10060 is a generic error that means your client cannot reach the server.
Try pinging your server IP, if it responds, it is online.
Are you sure that the port that EC2 uses is also 3306? Configure your EC2 Instance to allow remote connections. Check the EC2 Security features, something might be blocking you.
AFAIK, the root user is only limited to localhost. So it won't work if you use it remotely. Create a new user with the privileges that you only need, then use the '%' wildcard which means any host.
And finally, you may want to try this: Step by Step instructions
In your EC2 instance you will have a Security Group Column.
Click on that will open the security group page
In the bottom of the page you have a tab called Inbound
Click Edit and then Add Rule to allow port 3306.
In source select anywhere option.
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.
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.
