Check that your remote host  i e  the web hosting server you re trying to connect FROM  allows OUTGOING traffic on port 3306    I saw the  100  error in this situation  I could connect from my PC Mac  but not from my website  The MySQL instance was accessible via the internet  but my hosting company wasn t allowing my website to connect to the database on port 3306    Once I asked my hosting company to open my web hosting account up to outgoing traffic on port 3306  my website could connect to my remote database

Please check your listenning ports with    netstat -nat  grep  3306   If it show   tcp        0      0 0 0 0 0 3306            0 0 0 0                 LISTEN    Thats is ok for your remote connection   But in this case i think you have   tcp        0     192 168 1 3 3306            0 0 0 0                 LISTEN    Thats is ok for your remote connection  You should also check your firewall  iptables if you centos redhat   services iptables stop   for testing or use    iptables -A input -p tcp -i eth0 --dport 3306 -m state NEW ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT iptables -A output -p tcp -i eth0 --sport 3306 -m state NEW ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT   And another thing to check your grant permission for remote connection    GRANT ALL ON     TO remoteUser  remoteIpadress  IDENTIFIED BY  my password

I had this same error and I didn t understand but I realized that my modem was using the same port as mysql  Well  I stop apache2 service by sudo systemctl  stop apache2 service and restarted the xammp  sudo  opt lampp lampp start Just maybe  if you were not using a password for mysql yet you had  1045  28000   Access denied for user  root   localhost   using password  YES   then you have to pass an empty string as the password

I had the same problem trying to connect to a remote mysql db    I fixed it by opening the firewall on the db server to allow traffic through   sudo ufw allow mysql

errno 111 is ECONNREFUSED  I suppose something is wrong with the router s DNAT   It is also possible that your ISP is filtering that port

if the system you use is CentOS RedHat  and rpm is the way you install MySQL  there is no my cnf in  etc  folder  you could use     whereis mysql    cd  usr share mysql    cp -f  usr share mysql my-medium cnf  etc my cnf

I have got a same question like you  I use wireshark to capture my sent TCP packets  I found when I use mysql bin to connect the remote host  it connects remote s 3307 port  that s my falut in  etc mysql my cnf  3307 is another project mysql port  but I change that config in my cnf  client  part  when I use -P option to specify 3306 port  it s OK

i set my bind-address correctly as above but forgot to restart the mysql server  or reboot     face palm - so that s the source of this error for me

etc mysql  sudo nano my cnf   Relevant portion that works for me    skip-networking   Instead of skip-networking the default is now to listen only on   localhost which is more compatible and is not less secure  bind-address              MY IP   MY IP can be found using ifconfig or curl -L whatismyip org  grep blue   Restart mysql to ensure the new config is loaded    etc mysql  sudo service mysql restart

Not sure as cant see it in steps you mentioned   Please try FLUSH PRIVILEGES  Reloads the privileges from the grant tables in the mysql database    flush privileges   You need to execute it after GRANT   Hope this help

User · Answer

Sometimes when you have special characters in password you need to wrap it in    characters  so to connect to db you could use   mysql -uUSER -p pa  w0rd   I had the same error and this solution solved it
