Lab Problem - RDS DB Creation

13 May, 2019

Hello Cloud Gurus,


There is currently a problem with the creation of the RDS Instance in this lab causing an
error when attempting to establish a connection from WordPress.

Issue:

The creation of the MySQL RDS database instance is failing to create the Database when
using the new (default) AWS RDS User Interface. The WordPress application fails to
connect to the MySQL Database.

Resolution:

Use the OLD (Original) version of the RDS User Interface (UI) to create the RDS DB.

To access the Original RDS UI:


- Select the Create Database button on the RDS console
- From the top-left of the Create Database page select “Switch to your original
interface”
- This will open the Original RDS UI
- Follow the remainder of the lab step-by-step

Cheers,

Rob
