We attempted to connect to the remote database using the information provided. The connection could not be established because the database server is currently unreachable from our side.
The host IP itself is valid, but the MySQL service on port 3306 does not respond. The connection times out rather than returning an authentication error, which typically means the issue is network access rather than an incorrect username or password. In other words, our connection is not reaching the database service at all.
To proceed, please check the following on the server:
- Remote MySQL access is enabled, and MySQL is listening for external connections (not only
localhost).
- Port 3306 is open in the server firewall and in the hosting panel.
- The database user is allowed to connect from remote hosts (or from our IP address).
- Database exists and is the correct database to use.
Once remote access is enabled, we will be happy to test the connection again and continue with the setup.
Please let us know once this has been updated, or if you would prefer that we use a different host, port, or connection method.
