I try making a connection to my DO mysql cluster from an external server. I added the IP to trusted sources. when I try to connect I get a ‘can’t connect’ I tried from the cammandline also.
mysql -u doadmin -h db-mysql-sfo3-xxx-do-user-yyy-0.b.db.ondigitalocean.com -p -P25060
Enter password:
ERROR 2003 (HY000): Can't connect to MySQL server on 'db-mysql-sfo3-xxx-do-user-yyy-0.b.db.ondigitalocean.com' (111)
I am stuck. Any help appreciated

Hi @ebonit,
For certain actions it’s necessary to use it with the sudo command, however you can to check this tutorial:

Hi there,
It is possible that you need to open port 25060 for external TCP connections on the server that you are running the command from.
This would depend on the firewall and the network configuration that you are using.
Let me know how it goes! Best, Bobby
