Look into your security settings for your server on AWS. Most likely you will need to open up port 3306 on your firewall. You can do this using the AWS Console.

I'd strongly advise reading through the security guidelines for MySQL.

suppose you have database on server B and website on server A(say it has IP 192.234.12.1)

on cpanel whitelist the IP of server B

and create a new user having sufficient privileges in database (say this user is test)

then create this user as test@192.234.12.1
