Re: Connection failed to remote MySQL Server

[Souma Kanti Ghosh]

Hello Anisse,

I'm assuming by remotely hosted server you mean the server is being launched from a different platform (not from where the client script is being run).

By looking at the error message, I can say that the host is reachable but the connection to the server may be getting refused.

Can you please share the client-side script you're using to connect to the server? Also, are you using a commercial or community server type?

You can also try connecting with mysql client (from the client side platform) by passing the remote addr/port just to test if the server is reachable remotely at all.

$ mysql -u {username} -p'{pwd}' -h {remote server_ip or name} -P {port} -D {DB}

Do let me know about the results.

Regards,
Souma Kanti
