Error 10060 while trying to connect an amazon mysql rds

Question

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.

Read the whole document again. Pay attention to the connection part. docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/… – Blacksmith

Answer 1

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)

a missing route table route or a missing subnet association can also return the same error code. – Cassilda

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.

Answer 4

For who had done all of the fix above and still fail to connect, you might want to dive deeper into sub-net's Route table and Network ACL

• Get your subnet's Route table and Network ACL of your RDS:
  Connectivity & security -> Networking -> Subnets -> select a subnet -> search for Route table and Network ACL of that subnet (You might have to repeat step for all other subnets)
• For Route table:
  • Create an Internet gateway here
  • Select the route table of the subnet
  • Click Edit routes
  • Add a route (we can use 0.0.0.0/0 -> Internet gateway -> igw-(...) that we just create (this will open this subnet's gateway to entire world. USE WITH CAUTION))
  • Save
• For Network ACL:
  • Select the Network ACL of the subnet
  • click Edit inbound rules and Edit outbound rules
  • add desired IP address like with Security groups
  • Set Rule number lower than default denied * rule
  • Save
