Asked by tonyaom
Hi,
I followed the tutorials here: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-use-haproxy-to-set-up-mysql-load-balancing--3
and successfully create HAproxy for a Master-Master Mysql
However, I am not able to find any correct way to connect a php app to the database through HAProxy
I tried netstat -tlpn | grep 3306 and got the following result:
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:3306 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 946/haproxy
however, when trying mysql -h <IP of HAProxy Droplet> -u root -p
I could not connect because of incorrect password. My passwords are exactly as the ones in the tutorials and I have tried all of them but it doesn’t work.
Any help is really appreciated. Thank you in advanced

To bind to all network interfaces, it should look like:
