title: Connecting to RDS Instance from Elastic Beanstalk
body: <p>This has been killing me all day.</p>
  
  <p>I've set up Elastic Beanstalk, working fine.</p>
  
  <p>Set up RDS, working fine and can access from my laptop.</p>
  
  <p>But when i try to connect to the RDS from my ES application i get a timeout error.</p>
  
  <p>Extra info is that i'm using a Laravel application, connecting to a MYSQL database. All of my environment variables have been loaded and accepted fine.</p>
  
  <p>I'm almost certain it's a security groups setting, but the docs are so tremendously bad for AWS that i haven't got a clue what to do!</p>
  
  <p>Any help?</p>
