I have a google app engine application and Cloud SQL set up, I have attached the application to the instance but now I have to connect my computer (MAC OS X) using MySQL client (the terminal) to the instance. According to the GAE tutorial:

shell> mysql --host=instance-IP --user=user-name --password Enter password: Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g. Your MySQL connection id is 3 Server version: 5.5.31 (Google) .... mysql>

But this is what happens (the host is the IP address of the instance) I dont know what to put as the username?:

Tom$ mysql --host=173.194.225.73--user=username --password Enter password: ERROR 2005 (HY000): Unknown MySQL server host '173.194.225.73--user=username' (0)

Any ideas?

  • Extra space between the host and the --user? Commented Mar 1, 2015 at 13:08
  • Oh that actually worked thank you. But I am now getting a new error: ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'username'@'151.231.235.228' (using password: YES) Commented Mar 1, 2015 at 13:15
  • I have authorised that network access to the instance, but I am unable to connect. What should the username be? Commented Mar 1, 2015 at 13:20

After adding the space to the IP --username you need to add in Cloud SQL -> Access Control -> Allowed Networks your IP address as an allowed IP address to access.
