I using tinker on a local Laravel development envrionment and my project is connected to a MySQL instance of RDS which is only for development.
I use tinker alot of times on work. Sometimes when I'm using tinker MySQL returns:
SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] Connection timed out
If that error occures I can't do anything about database over 1 hours. When I try to use the database on tinker after 1 hour, or over a hour after from the error occured, it works well again.
I don't know what the problem is with my project or mysql.
The error is occurin on only in local environment, not on production or development server.
I try to find about error, and solutions, many stackoverflow answers was doesn't help to me.
- Check the connection address: not for me. it worked well, and it will work after some hours.
- Firewall problem: not for me. it worked well. and it work after some hours.
I think I can fix it with mysql config but I don't know how or what.
