I am trying to make an application that connects remotely to my mariadb server. I cannot connect via mysql-workbench or my app that I am making. I tried this tutorial and it did not work for me.

Hi @sfxworks
You need to open your firewall, since that’s activated by default on CentOS:
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-a-firewall-using-firewalld-on-centos-7
If you already did that, then make sure you restarted MariaDB and then have a look at which services are listening on the interfaces:
sudo lsof -iTCP -sTCP:LISTEN -P
Complete!

It says that my firewall isn’t running my default (centos 7 x64) but mariadb isn’t listening on a port. How do I get it to listen?
@sfxworks
Correct, MariaDB isn’t listening. My guess would be that MariaDB is crashing because it’s running out of RAM. You can check by showing the last 30 lines of it’s error log:
sudo tail -30 /var/log/mysql/error.log
Or check if it’s even running:
sudo systemctl status mysqld
It says that my firewall isn’t running by default (centos 7 x64) but mariadb isn’t listening on a port. How do I get it to listen?
@sfxworks
Run the following command to list which configuration files to look in:
sudo $(which mysqld) --verbose --help | grep -A 1 "Default options"
Remember to restart MariaDB after changing configuration files.
