Using PHPMyAdmin to administer Amazon RDS

Question

I can\'t get PHPMyAdmin to connect to my Amazon RDS instance. I\'ve granted permissions for my IP address to the DB Security Group which has access to this database I\'m tr

Answer 1

Try to connect from the mysql command line (http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/mysql.html) and see what's this utility returns you. I found it's easier to debug that way.

mysql -hMY-DB.us-east-1.rds.amazonaws.com -uMASTER-USER -pPASSWORD

If that's doesn't work, it means your amazon RDS security aren't configured correctly. (which is the common problem).
