What Should I Do If an ECS Can't Connect to a TaurusDB Instance?

Perform the following steps to identify the problem:

1. Check whether the ECS and TaurusDB instance are in the same VPC.
   • If they are in the same VPC, go to 2.
   • If they are in different VPCs, create an ECS in the VPC where the TaurusDB instance is located.

2. Check whether a security group has been created for the ECS.
   • If a security group has been created, check whether its rules are appropriate.

     For details, see "Connecting to a DB Instance" > "Configuring Security Group Rules" in TaurusDB User Guide. Then, go to 3.

   • If no security group has been created, go to the VPC console from the ECS details page and create a security group.

3. On the ECS, check whether the TaurusDB instance port can be connected.

   The default port of a TaurusDB cluster instance is 3306.

   telnet <connection_address> {port}

   • If the ECS can connect to the instance, no further action is required.
   • If the ECS still cannot connect to the instance port, contact technical support.
