AWS EB Operational Error "Lost Connection to MySQL Server"

136 Views Asked by At

I'm new to AWS services and I'm trying to deploy a simple Django app to Elastic Beanstalk. I found this documentation that says "to decouple your database instance from your environment, you can run a database instance in Amazon RDS and configure your application to connect to it on launch."

I followed this documentation to set up a PostgreSQL DB and uploaded my source code. When I deployed the project, the health check passed. So I tried to follow the URL to my site, and it just tries to load forever.

I checked the error logs (/var/log/httpd/error_log) and found OperationalError: (2013, "Lost connection to MySQL server at 'reading initial communication packet', system error: 0").

Why is it trying to connect to a MySQL when I want to use the PostgreSQL database?
