This question is related to the following questions:
I am configuring a new MySQL (5.1) server on my local machine. I need to provide remote access to the database. I did the following steps:
Comment bind-address
in my.cnf:
# bind-address = 192.168.1.3
Grant privileges:
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'nickruiz'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY PASSWORD 'xxxx';
Configure iptables for firewall
sudo iptables -I INPUT -p udp --dport 3306 -j ACCEPT
sudo iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 3306 --syn -j ACCEPT
sudo iptables-save
Restart mysql server sudo /etc/init.d/mysql restart
When testing, I get the following:
LAN:
mysql -h 192.168.1.3 -u nickruiz -p
Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 95
Server version: 5.1.63-0ubuntu0.11.04.1 (Ubuntu)
Remote:
mysql -h 1xx.xx.4.136 -u nickruiz -p
ERROR 2003 (HY000): Can't connect to MySQL server on '1xx.xx.4.136' (111)
Clearly there's something wrong that's preventing me from being able to use my global IP address.
Notes:
Any ideas?
Update: telnet doesn't seem to be working.
telnet 192.168.1.3 3306
Trying 192.168.1.3...

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
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!
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.
/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
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 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.
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.
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.
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';
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 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!
