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?

Hello,
Have you defined your database details as environment variables as described here:

Best,

Eyy Efe,
Have you check out Trusted sources? (click on your app and click on the Settings tab) You could have restricted access to database cluster.
Let me know if that helps - Sergio Turpín
