A valid Database Connection could not be made

[Kagashe]

Hi guys I have setup and additional node on my WAN, setup went relatively smoothly but am now getting this error message on the dashboard.

Any Ideas on how I can solve it?
both machines running up to date Ubuntu 16.04 one on version 1.5.0 the other on 1.5.0-RC-10

@kagashe Typically on Ubuntu you need to setup remote access for the MySQL user called ‘fogstorage’. Here’s steps on that as well as other troubleshooting help: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Troubleshoot_MySQL#Enable_remote_mysql_access

I suspected something like that so initially just for testing I set a password for root, enabled remote root access in mysql and then chnged the credentials in fogsettings but still had the same error. I am able to access mysql with those credentials from the command line on the node.

@kagashe Whenever you change the fogsettings file, you need to re-run the fog installer.
