Connect to staging database from a local environment

 

Goal

Locally on my Mac OS , I'm trying to connect to my staging database that are running and hosted on my Ubuntu VM.

Steps

In my config/database.php 

'connections' => [

    'mysql'       => [
    'driver'      => 'mysql',
    'host'        => env('DB_HOST'),
    'database'    => env('DB_DATABASE'),
    'username'    => env('DB_USERNAME'),
    'password'    => env('DB_PASSWORD'),
    'unix_socket' => env('UNIX_SOCKET'), <---- Need it here 
    'charset'     => 'utf8',
    'collation'   => 'utf8_unicode_ci',
    'prefix'      => '',
    'strict'      => false,
    ]

],

In my .env I have 

DB_HOST=45.55.88.88
DB_DATABASE=staging
DB_USERNAME=john
DB_PASSWORD=***
UNIX_SOCKET=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock  <---- I'm not sure what to put here

I am not sure what to PUT as my UNIX_SOCKET since database.php need it.

I kept getting 

SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] No such file or directory

I believe that because my path to the UNIX_SOCKET is wrong.

Questions

How would one go about and configure something like this ?

How would one go about and debug this further ?

I'm opening to any suggestions at this moment.

Any hints / suggestions / helps on this be will be much appreciated !

Update

Base on @dparoli 's answer. I update my database configuration not using UNIX_SOCKET any more. 

'connections' => [

    'mysql'       => [

        'driver'      => 'mysql',
        'host'        => env('DB_HOST'),
        'database'    => env('DB_DATABASE'),
        'username'    => env('DB_USERNAME'),
        'password'    => env('DB_PASSWORD'),
        'port'        => env('DB_PORT', '3306'),
        'charset'     => 'utf8',
        'collation'   => 'utf8_unicode_ci',
        'prefix'      => '',
        'strict'      => false,
    ]

],

now I got

PDOException in Connector.php line 49: SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] Operation timed out

I've tried looking more into the settings of my staging VM

sshd_config

Will /etc/ssh/sshd_config play any roles in this at all ? Is it because I disabled password log-in and only allow log-in via public key ?

I've tried both

PasswordAuthentication no

and

PasswordAuthentication yes

netstat

I ran netstat -ln , I got

How can I stop that ?

What else can I check or try ?

You are trying to connect to another host via a unix socket, that is not possible cause sockets, usually, are only directly visible to the system on which they are created.

For your staging env to work you have to comment out the unix_socket config line and add a port: 

'port' => env('DB_PORT', '3306'),

And configure mysql to listen on that port.

This seems to be primarily a networking issue between the Host and Guest.

  • First, let's get the Host to talk to the Guest (VM)
  • Login to VM (assuming you are using VirtualBox, other VMs will be similar)
  • Run ifconfig and note down the IP address. It will be something like 10.0.2.5
  • Go to VM instance window -> Menu -> Network adapters:
  • set Adapter to NAT
  • Click on "port forwarding" at the bottom
  • Create new record (click the + icon on right hand side)
  • Set Host IP = 127.0.0.1
  • For guest IP address enter the value you got earlier (10.0.2.5 - your IP may be different)
  • In both cases for port use 3306
  • Click on OK button twice and you should be out of the settings screens and all done
  • Verify you can connect to MySQL instance via command line on the VM
  • Open a terminal window on VM
  • Run this command mysql -hlocalhost -ujohn -p
  • Enter the password when prompted and you should be able to connect. If not, try the following
  • mysql -h127.0.0.1 -ujohn -p
  • If you still can't connect then make sure you have the correct password
  • Once you are able to connect locally, it's time to connect from Host (Mac)
  • Use the following command:
  • mysql -h127.0.0.1 -ujohn -p
  • Enter the password when prompted
  • If you still can't connect, try turning off the firewall on Guest/Ubuntu

    • What you could try if you have SSH access to the VM (or any remote actually) then you can try port forwarding the connection over SSH : 

    ssh foo@bar -L 3307:localhost:3306

    Now port 3307 on your local machine is acting as port 3306 on the remote machine. In your config file you can then go 

    DB_HOST=localhost
DB_PORT=3307

    The downside of this approach is that you need to have a terminal session setup and running when you want to use your local environment.
