I have paid for a web server at 1and1. And I decided to use MySQL WorkBench.

It asked for cred. in MySQL Workbench.

Logging in phpMyAdmin I have the following information to use when making mySQL connection code.

  • Server: dbxxxxxxxx.db.1and1.com via TCP/IP
  • Server type: MySQL
  • Server version: 5.5.59-0+deb7u1-log - (Debian)
  • Protocol version: 10
  • User: [email protected]
  • Server charset: UTF-8 Unicode (utf8)

In MySQL Workbench

I place Hostname with dbxxxxxxxx.db.1and1.com And username as [email protected] And store the password in the vault.

when testing the connection I get this message.

Connecting to MySQL server ...

Unknown MySQL server host 'dbxxxxxxxx.db.1and1.com' (0)

The DB works fine via the website.

I tried keeping username as root, using the username without the '@', but to no avail.

If you have any experience that you can shed light on what I am doing wrong or not paying attention to, that would be much appreciated.

There first place to stop with such a problem should be the 1and1 support team. Excuse me please if you have already done so - hans-könig

Because you have a shared server, and for security reason they wont allow to access through third party app. If you want to access through third party app you should change your server plan.
