I've added the host URL ({hash}.rackspaceclouddb.com), port 3306, and I'm using the same user and password that has access to everything via PhpMyAdmin, but I'm getting a failure when I test the connection. I understand that they run their instances on a private network, which I'm sure is causing the difficulty. Is there some trick I'm not aware of, or is it not possible?
Error message:
Failed: Communications link failure. The driver has not received any packets from the server.
In earlier versions, we've had a similar issue when establishing a connection with MySql. Please update DataGrip to the latest version. Also, make sure to download the latest MySql driver version available in DataGrip.
