Hardly a surprise. The mysql socket is rarely if ever left open for connections from the public facing interface. usually mysql port (3306) can only be accessed from the private network interface.

这并不令人惊讶。MySQL套接字很少为来自公共接口的连接保持打开状态。MySQL端口(3306)通常只能通过内网接口访问。

Even if the socket was open, there are so many things that that go wrong including firewalls getting in the way and simple timeouts.

即使套接字是打开的，也有太多事情会出错，包括防火墙挡路和简单的超时。
