pysql connection to cloud server database times out

[Pedroski55]

Didn't know that! I just saw somewhere that the default port was 1443. Can't find that again right now!

Anyway, I used this query in mysql on the server to check the port:

mysql> show variables where variable_name in ('hostname','port');
+---------------+------------+
| Variable_name | Value |
+---------------+------------+
| hostname | ebs-105422 |
| port | 3306 |
+---------------+------------+
2 rows in set (0.01 sec)

mysql>

So at least 1 port is 3306

But I am getting:

pymysql.err.OperationalError: (2003, "Can't connect to MySQL server on '123.456.789.123' ([Errno 111] Connection refused)")

So, there must be some other server setting I am not aware of.

Any clues??

Like I said, this works like a charm on my old shared hosting website.
