Can't connect to MySQL server on 'PRIVATE_IP", but with CLI works

Posted on October 19, 2017

Hi,

I have a problem.

I’m trying to connect from server A to server B with mysql with private networking with PHP, but that’s give me the following error: Can’t connect to MySQL server on ‘SERVER_B_PRIVATE_NETWORK_IP’

When I’m trying to connect from server A to server B with CLI then I have no problem, I can connect and can access the data from the database.

How can I fix this?

Thanks,

Joey

Hi @PsykoSoldi3r,

Can you post the actual script or at least the connection string you are using?

Without that information, I can only guess however It’s possible you are not passing the proper port or there is a typo somewhere inside the script.
