VPS Connection Timeout - Troubleshooting Steps

1. Check if VPS is reachable: ping 103.124.172.125
2. Check if MySQL port is open: telnet 103.124.172.125 3306
3. On VPS, run these commands:

   # Check if MySQL is running
   sudo systemctl status mysql
   
   # Allow remote connections
   sudo sed -i 's/bind-address.*/bind-address = 0.0.0.0/' /etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/mysqld.cnf
   sudo systemctl restart mysql
   
   # Grant remote access to user
   mysql -u root -p
   GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON tajeem_bdg.* TO 'tajeem_bdg'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'tajeem_bdg';
   FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
   
   # Open firewall port
   sudo ufw allow 3306/tcp
   sudo ufw reload
                       

4. From CPanel, test connection: mysql -h 103.124.172.125 -u tajeem_bdg -p
