Openshift - Cannot connect to mysql gear

My app was stuck on connecting to Database gear for almost few day now. I have tried almost 2 days to search, but it seem no luck. Could anyone help!

What I have tried:

  1. ssh in to main gear (application gear) is ok, but fail when trying manually connect to mysql.

    $mysql

    ERROR 2003 (HY000): Can't connect to MySQL server on '559e8e625973cad7d10001b5-jobboardkh.rhcloud.com' (111)

  2. telnet

    $telnet 559e8e625973cad7d10001b5-jobboardkh.rhcloud.com 48986
    Trying 54.159.182.108... telnet: connect to address 54.159.182.108: Connection refused

  3. port-forward on my local and I tried to connect as it worked before, but now it's not work

  4. ssh to mysql gear also not able to connect

Solution

  • I have waited to get the support from Openshift for several days, but at last I decided to remove out that database gear and recreated it. So all my data was lost.

    resolution for preventing database gear is down and data will lost, is to have a daily backup schedule for database and store it in the main gear.
