Question

I have created a Rails application and hosted it on EngineYard. Now I want to manually insert one record into my database.[Database: MYSQL]

How can I access EngineYard's database from my local machine?

P.S: I have came across this article and I can't infer proper explanation from that. I have even searched for video tutorials and can't find any. Please help me.

Was it helpful?

Solution

Atlast I got the answer for my question after spending a lot of time on this and getting support from EngineYard team.

  1. First you need to create a local SSH Key Pair by following this article.

  2. Next you need to add that SSH Key (something like id_rsa.pub or id_dsa.pub) at https://cloud.engineyard.com/keypairs

  3. Then you need to execute this command in your local terminal
    ssh deploy@ec2-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx.compute-1.amazonaws.com

    where deploy is the common and default username for your database and ec2-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx.compute-1.amazonaws.com is your hostname
