I have an app loaded with Amazon Elastic Beanstalk and DB at Amazon RDS. My Application is able to contact Database which is functioning well and I can connect to mySQL from AWS EC2 CLI.
Problem: I can't get phpMyAdmin to connect to my Amazon RDS instance. (Error #2002 Cannot log in to the MySQL server)
