Issue connecting to MySql Service from Virtual Machine in Azure China

I have a Microsoft Azure account in China, in which there is a Virtual Machine and a "mysql database on azure" service set up.

I can RDP onto the VM from my development PC (in the UK) and I can connect to the MySql database from my development PC. However, I cannot connect to the MySql database from the Azure VM.

When attempting to connect using MySql Workbench, I get the following error:

"SSL connection error: socket layer receive error"

I have checked the configuration of the VM and of the MySql server and everything looks correct. Any ideas?

Solution

  • We have now resolved this. In case anyone comes across a similar problem, the issue is with the version of MySql Workbench we were using.

    Hosted MySql in Azure China works with MySql Workbench 6.2, but does not work with 6.3.
