Cant login to mysql on another droplet

Posted on June 1, 2017

Hi, there, I have two droplet (vlife-portal & vlife-data ) with the same configuration. vlife-portal have a SSL.

Within both mysql.user, I have set up root@‘private IP’ and grant them related privileges.

And I followed the tutorial in the community to set up master & slave mysql, I tried to make vlife-portal as master and the other as slave. But after I start the slave, I find that I cant connect to vlife-portal.

Then I tested on vlife-portal in my terminal, I can connect to vlife-data’s Mysql directly. However, when I on the vlife-data, I cant connect to vlife-portal.

iptables / firewalls are not enabled. No bind-address in my.cnf. I tried bind-address to 0.0.0.0 still not work.

**Error msg: ** ERROR 2003 (HY000): Can’t connect to MySQL server on ‘private IP’ (110)

Could you please give me an hand on this? Thanks.

Hi @cetetek

Okay, so you actually have a firewall rule that specifically blocks MySQL:

DROP tcp -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 tcp dpt:3306

And I don’t see MySQL listening on the port, but only on a socket, so maybe you have the skip-networking defined somewhere in the configuration.

Hi @cetetek Can you run sudo lsof -iTCP -sTCP:LISTEN -P on the data server?
