I am not sure what why I am not connecting to the MSQL server. I am not really getting any errors. Any suggestions on how to resolve this? Here are my attempts to correct it. I even asked my friend Chat to diagnose this. Very confused.

Hello @skalicin
Please, copy the commands without the ``` characters and the bash keyword. For instance, you have entered

``` bash
aws rds describe-db-instances --db-instance-identifier <MySQL-DB-name> --output text --query "DBInstances[].Endpoint.Address"
```‌

as your command, while the correct command is

aws rds describe-db-instances --db-instance-identifier <MySQL-DB-name> --output text --query "DBInstances[].Endpoint.Address"

I guess the problem is that you are viewing the C1_W2_Assignment.md in its raw form. Please, take note of this step in the Vocareum instructions.

Thank for the response. It is still not working. I have been playing around with all combination and in Preview mode.

Hello @skalicin
You are running the command mysql --host=de-c1w2-rds --user=admin--password=adminpwrd --port=3306, which is not right. You should first run aws rds describe-db-instances --db-instance-identifier de-c1w2-rds --output text --query "DBInstances[].Endpoint.Address" as an standalone command to get the MySQL host, then replace the value in the host parameter for the mysql command.
