Question
Trying to get Droplet in NYC2 on MySQL to access tables on MySQL droplet in Amsterdam
I have two droplets - one in Amsterdam (5.101.98.143) and one in NYC2 (192.241.185.178) - the NYC runs wordpress on MySQL and the first is just a Bootstrap app running on MySQL
I am trying the NYC2 droplet to access tables on the Amsterdam droplet. I have tried various options but cannot get the connection to establish
- I removed the bind-address=localhost from myconf as suggested on many articles. allowing the server to listen on all ports on the Amsterdam server
- I set up FW rules (which i have now deleted) allowing BOTH servers incoming and outgoing on port 3306
- I tried to create a new user on MySQL in Amsterdam but that i could not get right.
- I have tried using the same DB connection info eg username/pass/db name etc on NYC2 to connect to the DB on Amsterdam but no go
It just says user rendercast@192.241.185.178 not allowed to access dbase
Having spent over 5 hours last night on this - I now am requesting help please !!!

On your remote MySQL installation find your configuration file – may be
/etc/my.cnfdepending on your installation choiceSet bind-address to –
bind-address=YOUR-SERVER-IP…or… Set bind-address to –bind-address=0.0.0.0– This listens on all interfaces.Make sure to remove or comment out

CREATE USER 'newuser'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON * . * TO 'newuser'@'%';FLUSH PRIVILEGES;exit
If you have any firewalls running, be sure to open port 3306
