We're seeing some strange internal server errors when people try to create MySQL databases at the moment. We're investigating.

Postgres servers are unaffected.

Still investigating. We have a support ticket raised with Amazon support to see if they can help -- we think the problem is on their side.

We have a theory about the cause of the problem. Working on a possible workaround that will get things working until a longer-term solution can be put in place.

OK, it should be working again for the time being.

I am still experiencing a problem. Not sure if it is related or not, but I get the following:

You must be using a Python 3 virtualenv. mysql-python is not supported in Python 3. Use a different mysql database API: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.9/ref/databases/#mysql-db-api-drivers

Hi I get this error when I am trying to add MySQL console. ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'steve78'@'ip-10-179-203-235.ec2.internal' (using password: NO)

Thank you

Are you starting the mysql console from the databases tab?

greetings! im getting the same error as steve78..i started mysql console from the databases tab..

It's OK for me at the moment.

@aes -- are there any non-alphanumerical characters in your MySQL password? We think we may have a bug where punctuation causes problems. We're working on a fix, but if you change your MySQL password to only use a-z, A-Z and 0-9 then it should work fine.

yes, there are..but i'll just wait for it to get fixed...i use ssh now.

OK. You should also be able to run the mysql command line tool from a Bash console if you need to access it from a web-based console.

ok. i'll try it. Thanks much.
