Getting notAuthorized error with cloud_sql_proxy locally

Question

I\'m trying to setup a connection locally for 2nd generation cloud sql instance.

Call for the proxy is

./cloud_sql_proxy -dir=/cloudsql -instances=status         


        

Answer 1

Another take is that if you are using the -dir flag means you will be connecting through a unix-socket which for MySQL is an extra connection parameter and the =tcp:3306 becomes redundant, when connecting though 127.0.0.1 this wouldn't work because it is TCP and it is waiting connection on the socket.
