title: Unable to connect to JawsDB instance on Heroku
body: <p>I just created a JawsDB MySQL instance and provisioned it with my app. Performing a <code>heroku config: get JAWSDB_URL</code> yields the following string:</p>
  
  <pre><code>mysql://(redacted-username):(redacted-password)@h40lg7qyub2umdvb.cbetxkdyhwsb.us-east-1.rds.amazonaws.com:3306/schema
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When attempting to connect to this database using any database manager GUI, such as MySQL Workbench or HeidiSQL using the following parameters:</p>
  
  <pre><code>| Key        | Value               |
  | ---------- | ------------------- |
  | hostname   | h40lg7qyub2umdvb.cbetxkdyhwsb.us-east-1.rds.amazonaws.com |
  | port       | 3306                |
  | username   | (redacted-username) |
  | password   | (redacted-password) |
  | connection | TCP/IP              |
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>...I receive the following error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Failed to Connect to MySQL at h40lg7qyub2umdvb.cbetxkdyhwsb.us-east-1.rds.amazonaws.com:3306 with user (redacted-username)
  
  Lost connection to MySQL server at 'reading initial communication packet', system error: 0
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This is my second attempt at trying this - I received the same error with the JawsDB instance I just set up earlier, so I deleted that and receive the same error again here. Any ideas?</p>
