I've been connecting to my database remotely without issue. I open an ssh tunnel, then connect with mysql.connector. I've now moved my code to PythonAnywhere and the same code with the same credentials now can't connect. The connection is made with a decorator:
def connect_to_database(original_func):
"""Decorator function to connect to the database, run the function, and then close the connection
Args:
original_func (function): Function to be wrapped
"""
def make_connection(*args, **kwargs):
results = None
try:
# print("Connecting to database...")
db = mysql.connector.connect(
user="suspiciousleaf",
password=db_password,
host="localhost",
port=3306,
database=database,
use_pure=True,
)
cursor = db.cursor()
results = original_func(db, cursor, *args, **kwargs)
except Exception as e:
print(f"An error occurred: {str(e)}")
finally:
if "cursor" in locals() and cursor:
cursor.close()
if "db" in locals() and db:
db.close()
# print("Database connection closed")
if results is not None:
return results
return make_connection
Remotely this works fine, but when I run the code on PA I get An error occurred: 2003: Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost:3306' (111 Connection refused). I've tried using localhost and 127.0.0.1 for the host, both give the same results.
The ssh command I'm using is below, I don't think it's relevant but just in case:
ssh -L 3306:suspiciousleaf.mysql.eu.pythonanywhere-services.com:3306 suspiciousleaf@ssh.eu.pythonanywhere.com
Is there anywhere obvious that I'm going wrong?
