Asked by seabey
Ubuntu 14.04 x32.
Installed php, phpmyadmin, apache, mysql.
Created database, upload my website files and I’m getting this error message:
Connect Error (2003) Can’t connect to MySQL server on ‘myipaddress’ (111)
I tried these solutions:
-
In etc>mysql>my.cnf change these line: secure.bind-address=127.0.0.1 to secure.bind-address=myipaddress Didn’t work.
-
mysql> GRANT ALL ON mydbname.* TO root@‘myipaddress’ -> IDENTIFIED BY ‘mymysqlpassword’;
It did’nt work, too.

Is MySQL running?
If that does not output anything, try starting the MySQL service:
Also, what hostname/port is MySQL listening on?
after changing the bind address and granting permission, restart mysql
