Hey, so I’m using digital ocean for the first time and I’m working to deploy a node app on app platform and connecting to a mySQL database.
I’m having issues connecting the app to the managed database. I get this error
[2022-04-19 16:15:25] Error: connect ETIMEDOUT [2022-04-19 16:15:25] at PoolConnection._handleTimeoutError (/workspace/node_modules/mysql2/lib/connection.js:189:17) [2022-04-19 16:15:25] at listOnTimeout (internal/timers.js:554:17) [2022-04-19 16:15:25] at processTimers (internal/timers.js:497:7) { [2022-04-19 16:15:25] errorno: ‘ETIMEDOUT’, [2022-04-19 16:15:25] code: ‘ETIMEDOUT’, [2022-04-19 16:15:25] syscall: ‘connect’, [2022-04-19 16:15:25] fatal: true [2022-04-19 16:15:25] } [2022-04-19 16:15:25] Done in 13.29s.
I’ve seen that in this question: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/questions/error-connect-etimedout-10-108-0-2-xxxxx
This could be caused by the fact that a port is not opened. How can I open this on app platform?
