Cannot connect to MySQL image externally; Dockerize wait timeout occurs

I’m unable to connect to a mysql database on another docker container. telnet 127.0.0.1 3306 gives “Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused”. I was able to connect before I had to update from buildpack-deps:trusty to buildpack-deps:xenial due to ondrej/php PHP packages for Trusty getting removed (https://www.patreon.com/posts/ubuntu-14-04-php-22093917). Any idea what’s going on? I have used a dockerize wait to avoid race condition as many have suggested, but the console output from mysql image shows that it is running and ready for connections well before.

It seems to me that the MySQL server you have shuts down and then restarts. That might be something to look into.

That said, I vaguely remember having problems with putting MySQL in a secondary container. If you are not stuck for memory, try installing it in your primary build container instead. I did that successfully here.

Upgrading to circleci/mysql:5.7.26 works properly, believe it or not… I guess I’ll stick with that until I’m forced to do another upgrade somewhere else. Thanks
