Hi,
I have problem with remote connection to my MySQL database.
My changes in /etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/mysqld.cnf
[mysqld]
.....
#bind-address = 127.0.0.1
I also run this lines in mysql: mysql> CREATE USER ‘monty’@‘%’ IDENTIFIED BY ‘some_pass’; mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON . TO ‘monty’@‘%’ WITH GRANT OPTION; mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
and finally: sudo service mysql restart
Unfortunelly I still cant’ connect with my database. What is the problem?

Hi @rubenlech
Can you check if MySQL is listening on all interfaces:
sudo lsof -iTCP -sTCP:LISTEN -P
And then let’s check the state of the firewall:
sudo ufw status
