I read that “actively refused it” means the MySQL server is either not on (which it is) or not actively listening to the port (even though it’s config’d for 3306)… I’m having trouble figuring out how phpMyAdmin submits the connection in the code exactly… but from what I can tell it looks similar. Remote access lets you manage the database with tools like MySQL Query Browser or MySQL Workbench. The code on the prod server doesn’t specify a port, it just uses ‘localhost’ for DB_HOST (I use my custom domain name for mine of course, which matches the WAMP virtual host and works in the browser). Note: Data Studio cant connect to localhost. I don’t specify a port because it’s supposed to use the default, 3306. The MySQL connector allows you to access data from MySQL databases within Data Studio. Then, we launch MySQL Workbench, select Server Administration > New Server Instance option.

Initially, we go to and install MySQL WorkBench. However, MySQL workbench failed to connect errors happen due to MySQL version compatibility or set up problems. Here, let’s see how our Support Engineers connect to Cloud Databases via MySQL Workbench.

When I look at what values are being passed to mysqli_real_connect, they’re correct and match the info I put in wp-config.php for DB_HOST, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD, and DB_NAME. JDBC drivers support additional connection properties where you can fine tune the behavior of the driver or enable special features that are not switched on by. MySQL Workbench allows connecting to remote server databases from your personal computer. MySQL Workbench can connect to MariaDB SkySQL services, allowing you to run queries interactively: MySQL Workbench is a graphical database tool.

I did figure out how to get a more-specific error message, by copying wp-config-sample.php to wp-config.php (even though install says to delete it, because I guess it’s supposed to generate it), filling out the DB info and unique phrase there, setting WP_DEBUG to true, and then re-running install – which says:
