I can SSH to my server and then connect to MySQL just fine using terminal. I use the same credentials in Sequel Pro and I get this message:

MySQL said: Can't connect to MySQL server on '127.0.0.1' (4)

I never had this problem before. It just started recently after my colleague made some server adjustments (he is unfortunately unreachable for a few days now). Any idea why I can connect just fine via terminal (command line) but not with Sequel Pro? Thanks!

  • Sounds like iptables. Check by going `service iptables stop`. Don't leave it off, but start there. – David Jul 14 '15 at 00:30

This ended up being because of changes made to iptables. Can't get into the details but rules were made stricter.
