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.
