Asked by simPod
I tried to connect to MySQL remotely (I need to go without SSH).
Commented bind-address with #.
Getting MySQL said: Access denied for user ‘root’@‘myremoteip’ (using password: YES)
How can I connect? Searched internet. Found that I should run ```GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON . TO ‘root’@‘%’ IDENTIFIED BY ‘PASSWORD’ with grant option; FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
it is not working for me. How can I achieve that?This textbox defaults to using Markdown to format your answer.

the tutorials of digitalocean for remote connection to mysql do not work, because they do not want to connect, better consult the tutorials of linode.
@simPod - The URI below provides a more in-depth and complete guide on how to setup a remote MySQL server. Ideally, you want to bind to an IP (as shown in the guide) – preferably the private IP provided with your Droplet, and then setup restrictions to limit access to only IP’s that you’ve white-listed.
