I'm not a dba. I am not a sysadmin. I'm a sql guy at home... I setup a database at aws. I can open and use it with via a connection made with php/pdo from within an ec2/ubuntu/apache2 environment. Now I want to connect up my w7 hosted toad directly to the database. I reviewed this post (below). Everything is I setup is correct(lol). I opened up the security group at aws so there shouldn't be any problem arriving on 3306. But it doesn't connect. It times out. I've tried many permutations. My home router is on the lowest security setting (temporarily off right now). I ran netsh firewall show config, and found something fishy... Is this a problem? How would I fix it if so? (my local apache/mysql development env is xampp - and it is not running) Thanks Allowed programs configuration for Standard profile: Mode Traffic direction Name / Program ------------------------------------------------------------------- Disable Inbound mysqld / C:\xampp2\mysql\bin\mysqld.exe Enable Inbound Apache HTTP Server / C:\xampp2\apache\bin\httpd.exe ref post: www.toadworld.com/.../demystify-mysql-on-amazon-rds-with-toad-for-mysql
