Hi,
I saw many Q&As regarding this problem. Here is what I did for troubleshooting:
-
I saw that the server is listening on the SQL default port: netstat -ntlp | grep 3306 tcp6 0 0 :::3306 :::* LISTEN 3092/mysqld
-
/etc/mysql/my.cnf was empty
-
IpTables was empty.
-
telnet <My IP> 3306 -> resulted in correct manner
I feel a little bit clueless… If someone can help I would be gracious. Also, I would be happy to understand exactly what does this error say, b/c if I try to connect with my MySQL workbench to some random IP I get a different error.
Many Thanks, Tomer.

Had same problem and tried this and it worked;
CREATE USER username@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'username'@'%' ;
flush privileges;
This is confusing indeed. Error 0 means success.
$ perror 0
OS error code 0: Success
Can you add this to your [mysqld] section in my.cnf:
bind-address = 0.0.0.0
Restart MySQL. Can you also post the output of this command from your workstation (not server):
telnet DROP.LET.IP.ADDRESS 3306
Cheers
