ERROR 2003 (HY000): Can’t connect to MySQL server on ‘server IP’ (10061)

~ tadmin

If you see error messages below:

  • Can’t connect to MySQL server on ‘Server IP’ (10061):
  • ERROR 2003 (HY000): Can’t connect to MySQL server on ‘Server IP’ (110)
    Server did not respond within the specified timeout interval

And checking port using telnet utility
$ telnet ‘Server IP’ 3306

Gives error message:
Trying ‘Server IP’…
telnet: connect to address ‘Server IP’: Connection timed out

It is possible because MySQL server TCP port 3306 is closed on server in firewall.
