There was an error initializing your MySQL server.

Hi, when trying to set MySQL password i got this error: There was an error initializing your MySQL server. Please try again in a minute. If this keeps happening, please send us a message using the "Feedback" link above.

i am using virtualenv and py 3.5 so i tried to install mysql client but i got an error about permissions

Hi, thanks for letting us know, a few other users have reported a problem with MySQL databases, we're looking it now. Will keep you posted. Thanks for your patience!

Thanks! :D

I'm also hitting this problem, the form hangs for ~1 minute and then gives the same error as described above.

Any update on this issue

I found my error. I failed to give the database a name before trying to give it a password. I did not read the form close enough.

Hi here, the situation seems to have been resolved for now, we are monitoring the situation and following up with Amazon to understand what happened. Thanks for your patience everyone!

Seems fixed for me - thanks for the rapid solution!

fixed here too

:)

I'm getting the same message now . Tried a few times.

What happens if you refresh the "Databases" page? Sometimes if you refresh the page while it's doing its initial setup, you'll get that message a few times while it's waiting for the database to be set up.

im getting the same messages now.what can i do

We are aware of the problem and we are working on that.
