I try to connect to MySql on Amazon RDS from my computer using MySql WorkBench, or HeidiSqlor even console Mysql.exe, and I get 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 Inbox rule that allows all traffic and applies it, and still the same error.
- I do not have an active firewall on my computer and good internet access.
- I can access the database from the Amazon EC3 server, I connect using HeidiSql there, and the exact same settings (host, username, password) just do not work on my computer.
However, nothing works. I am sure that my security groups are configured to allow external connections, as can be seen in the following screenshot, is there another place with firewall rules?
