Asked by Jorge Maté Martínez
Hello.
I am trying to acces a MySql server from another one with no results.
I configured MySql to accept connections remotely. Open firewall at 3306…
Inserted new DB remote users, checked their passwords…
And no results yet.
Any idea ?
Thanks in advance.

Hi, maybe is late … but if you are running your mysql in mysql secure installation you have to :
create a user with related privileges on schema/tables you want and set limit hosting access to the IP you are connecting from (this means that the user can access only from that IP)
comment in the file /etc/mysql/mysql.conf/mysql.cnf (this is the configuration file used by mysql secure installation) the following line:
restart mysql
sudo service mysql restartadd to your mysql server firewall the following rule:
sudo ufw allow from IP_FROM_YOU_CONNECT to any port 3306test from your remote location with
mysql -u *USER_CREATED_BEFORE *-h *MYSQL_SERVER_IP* -pif everything is ok you will prompt for the user password and you will get to mysql shell
Tested on UBUNTU 16.04 and mySQL 5.7
I found that changing the bind-address in the /etc/mysql/mysql.cnf the bind-address is ignored. You can check with mySQL Workbench under System Variables (search for bind keyword)
I hope this helps.
Elizine sent a very good link.
It was a my.cnf bad configuration combined with a firewall problem. I could finally solve it.
Thanks a lot to eveybody !
