Hello, I am just learning how to make a simple web app with digital ocean but had trouble in verifying my managed databases mysql connection. I tried this tutorial https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/databases/mysql/how-to/connect/ I use the flags connection parameter but I am not finding success. I get the same error: ERROR 2003 (HY000): Can’t connect to MySQL server on ‘x’
have tried disabling firewall, connecting with telnet (same message) changing trusted sources, using legacy password encryption. Any ideas appreciated!
