错误代码（60）是什么意思？

Question

Given the following client error message:

Error: Can't connect to MySQL server on 'server' (60)

What's the meaning of error code 60? MySQL v5.6 and v5.7 do not provide any info about it in docs, on the other hand v8.0 just says:

Error number: 60; Symbol: EE_SSL_ERROR;

Message: SSL error: %s.

It seems to be related to SSL, but the same applies to previous versions of MySQL?

Answer 1

If database server is on a remote machine, then try to test the client-server connectivity using ping command, for instance:

ping server_ip_address

If you are able to ping, then try:

mysql -u username -p -h host_address -P port

If all the above commands run successfully, but you still see the error, open the mysql config file.

vi /etc/mysql/my.cnf

OR

vi /etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/mysqld.cnf

Look for the line below and comment it out using the # character:

bind-address = 127.0.0.1

Save the file and exit, afterwards restart the mysql service like:

sudo systemctl start mysql.service OR sudo /etc/init.d/mysqld start
