I am often getting this error:
MySQL said: Lost connection to MySQL server at ‘reading initial communication packet’, system error: 0
When I am trying to connect to my database using MySQL. But the actual server (i.e. my app) runs without issues.
It seems only to happen when I am on my iPhone’s cellular datanetwork (using internetsharing). When connected through WiFi hotspots, no errors seem to happen.
Anyone knows what could be wrong?
