I am looking to set up replication which will have a master in my local environment and a slave in the Amazon environment.
I am able to set up replication successfully for two EC2 instances, but failing to do so if the master is outside the Amazon environment. I changed the security group to have port 3306 open but that didn’t change anything.
Are there any other changes to be done? Anyone has a similar setup? Is this possible at all?
Should work fine as long as all the ports on your local network are open and forwarded correctly. Have you made sure that your database is accessible via a remote network, more info/troubleshooting info can be found here
