I installed the new trial version of dbForge for mySQL over the weekend and no matter what I do, it will not connect to the host on the internet...
The errror I get is:
"Can't connect to MySQL server on "mysql-01.awp-hosting.com" (10061): A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond 66.51.123.122:3306"
I have read that this is normally a firewall issue, so I've disabled the local windows firewall, turned off the router firewall and also configured port forwarding for both tcp and udp for port 3306 to the machine I'm trying to connect with and none of it changes the error... Except for a shorter version I also get, which is:
"Can't connect to MySQL server on "mysql-01.awp-hosting.com" (10061):
Server did not respond within the specified timeout interval"
I can logon fine from the phpMyAdmin Control panel online using the same credentials and the website also connects correctly too...
Is there something I'm missing on my end or could there be something the ISP has setup to block me?? Any other suggestions for getting the software to connect and work??
thanks
New Install of dbForge won't connect
Most probably, no MySQL Server exists at 66.51.123.122 address, but phpMyAdmin works. If you want to directly connect to a MySQL Server, you should ask your ISP whether this connection is supported. In other works a port throught telnet should be available where the MySQL Server is listened to. You can check like this: telnet 66.51.123.122 3306
What ISP do you have?
Another suggestion to fix the described problem is triyng to increase a connection timeout value in Connection Editor (Advanced tab).
If the direct connection is not available, use SSH connection or HTTP tunneling.
