Connecting website to AWS RDS HTTP Error 500?
I've moved my Drupal website over to AWS (using an EC2 instance and RDS instance). Everything moved over just fine. However, when I try and connect my drupal installation to my RDS database via the settings.php file, I get the following message when I navigate to my site IP:
This page isn’t working [public ip] is currently unable to handle this request. HTTP ERROR 500
Right now, I'm putting my RDS endpoint into the settings.php file's 'host' spot.
$databases = array (
'default' =>
array (
'default' =>
array (
'database' => 'mydbname',
'username' => 'mydbusername',
'password' => 'mypassword',
'host' => 'myrdsendpoint.us-east-2.rds.amazonaws.com',
'port' => '3306',
'driver' => 'mysql',
'prefix' => '',
),
),
);
When I leave the host blank, I do however get a Drupal error (as I should). That said, why am I unable to connect to the AWS RDS endpoint? I've even given my EC2 instance's private IP permission to access MySQL in the RDS' security group.
Something to note: When I do a fresh drupal install with the same above specs in the settings.php file, the new drupal site works perfectly (is visible). Could the 500 error be because my instance isn't large enough (e.g. do I need more space or memory?)
Help.

Is your RDS instance in the same VPC as the EC2 instance ? The reason I ask because you have allowed EC2 private IP in RDS security group. What do your app logs show for the front end 500 error ?
