title: OperationalError: (2003, "Can't connect to MySQL server on 'mysql2.000webhost.com' (10060)")
body: <p>I have been learning some basic MySQL and decided to put it into Python which i have some more experience in. I have got PHP scripts working on this MySQL server so i know the server is working. But every time i connect i get this error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "E:/Geekster_Bot/Geekster_Bot Code/Geekster_Bot_alpha_API_MySQL", line 6, in &lt;module&gt;
  db="MY DATABASE")# name of the data base

  OperationalError: (2003, "Can't connect to MySQL server on 'mysql2.000webhost.com' (10060)")
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Im really not sure why. I have got the MySQL port (3306) open and like i said, the server/database is working. Any ideas?</p>
  
  <p>This is the code of the entire MySQL connection;</p>
  
  <pre><code>import MySQLdb
  
  db = MySQLdb.connect(host="mysql2.000webhost.com", # your host, usually localhost
                   user="MY USER", # your username
                    passwd="MY PASSWORD", # your password
                    db="MY DATABASE")# name of the data base
  
   #you must create a Cursor object. It will let
   #you execute all the queries you need
   cur = db.cursor() 
  
   #Use all the SQL you like
   cur.execute("SELECT * twitch_follows_ign")
  
   #print all the first cell of all the rows
   for row in cur.fetchall() :
   print row[0]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>All the blocked out data is entered correctly.</p>
