Can’t connect to MySQL server (10060)

Solution on MySQL forum, post

Not to do:

  1. don’t change ports
  2. don’t open/close ports
  3. don’t switch off Firewall

To do:

  1. make sure you use correct ip or domain name in connection string
  2. web-server must get remote connection. You can do it by cpanel. Set % in remote host name
  3. by cpanel add your ip to firewall
