Is the mysql server listening on all interfaces?
I think by default it listens only on localhost or 127.0.0.1
Yes, bind_address=0.0.0.0 (allow connection from any IP number).
Another naive point, just to be sure : Have you opened up port 3306 in the
firewall?
AWS, has a pretty neat concept called "Security Groups" wherein you
can define inbount and outbound traffic.
Checked that as well, inbound to 3306 is allowed.
I can telnet aws-appsrv 3306 from a different node and get connection
and prompt for password.
