I have already a sistem loaded on digital ocean using a mysql database and is working perfectly, but the problem is that i can't connect using mysqlworkbench to the database and i getting the error Can't Connect to MySQL Server on IPAddress (10061)

Im new using this services of digital ocean, so i don't know what is wrong on my settings to access the database. (which is actualy working for the system).

I don't know what to configure over the mysqlworkbench to access the database:

1)Shall I use a tcp/ip or tcp/ip / ssh ??

Thanks for your support

By default MySQL will listen for connections only from the local host. To enable remote connections like the one used by mysqlworkbench you will need to modify your /etc/my.cnf and change

bind-address 127.0.0.1

to

bind-address 0.0.0.0

or simply comment out the line completely. Once this is done, restart MySQL with the command

service mysql restart

and you should be able to make your connection.

    If the mysql reboot doesn't solve the issue, try rebooting the whole system instead.

    For MariaDB 10.1 under Ubuntu 18.04.1 

    bind-address 127.0.0.1

    is located at /etc/mysql/mariadb.conf.d/50-server.cnf

Need to reconfigure the my-sql server. i used "mysql-installer-community-5.7.20.0" to reconfigure the server. and now it is working well. If "MySQL57" will looks in windows services. then it will work properly. Installer community will restart the server or you can also restart manually by below flow

Step-1-> Open Run or type Run in task-bar search of window and press Enter
Step-2->Type "services.msc" in Run and press Enter
Step-3->Search "MySQL57" in windows services
Step-4->If server is not running then Right click on mouse button and click on Start.

Before doing this need to reconfigure the mySql server for removing "Can't Connect to MySQL Server on IPAddress (10061)"

If "MySQL57" is not looking on windows services then you should need to reconfigure again.if it will shows in services then it will work properly.
