MySQL newbie here,
I've installed MySQL on my Windows 10 machine and can connect using MySQL Workbench with the root username and everything works as promised.
However, now I want to create another user to connect with and give that user access to just one database on the server.
I've created the user with these commands:
CREATE USER 'user'#'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'f^rest_of_password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON wordpress.* TO 'user'#'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
I've created the database with this command:
CREATE DATABASE wordpress
SO, now I tried to create a connection in MySQL Workbench using that user and the password and it fails.
The error message says:
Cannot Connect to Database Server
Your connection attempt failed for user 'user' to the MySQL server at localhost:3306
Please:
1 Check that MySQL is running on address localhost
2 Check that MySQL is reachable on port 3306 (note: 3306 is the default, but this can be changed)
3 Check the user user has rights to connect to loclahost from your address (MySQL rights define what clients can connect to the server and from which machines)
4 Make sure you are both providing a password if needed and using the correct password for loclahost connecting from the host address you're connecting from
What is my next move?
Thanks,
Owen
As soon as I post a question....
Turns out I needed to specify the "Installation Type" of custom,
the "Configuration File Section" of mysqld
and the "Windows Service Name" of MySQL80
(Ended up copying the working root connection and changing the username and password).

I've currently set up a staging area for my app in Digital Ocean with LAMP stack. The Framework for my app is Laravel 5.5 and Vue 2x.
In development, I've been using remote MySQL and had no issues with the connection error. However, when I moved it to the staging env, it is giving me access denied error. When I looked at it closely to the error log, Access denied is for username#[digital-ocean-droplet-ip], whereas I have properly configured the MySQL credentials to the remote host IP under laravel's config/database file.
So, I am doubtful if I have to do any configuration under Apache to allow any external MySQL connection? I forgot the cmd but I did allow sfw firewall allow to any port 3306 to the remote server IP address in Apache.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!
MySQL by default does not create an user with access from remote connections.
First you need to create an user on database that allows connection from outside (%) or a specific IP
CREATE USER 'newuser'#'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
Than give him privileges
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'newuser'#'%';
The *s could be replaced by your database and table name respectively
You might also check if in your mysql configuration(/etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/mysqld.cnf in my case) has this line uncommented
bind-address = 127.0.0.1
Change the ip if necessary
restart mysql and apache
sudo service apache2 restart
sudo service mysql restart
Than update the user and password at your .env file and try again!
I've looked in so many areas to try to fix this problem and I can't seem to find a solution. Im running ubuntu linux with the latest mysql and phpmyadmin installation. I found that connecting to the database locally works but if I try to connect remotely it keeps denying the connections. The only way I can login to phpmyadmin is if I put the ip address in the bar, connecting via the web address will not work.
Are you trying to connect to MySQL remotely or PHPMyAdmin remotely?
If you are trying to access MySQL remotely, you need to do the following:
Edit the bind-address variable in /etc/my.cnf, to 0.0.0.0 or the IP address of your server
Make sure your MySQL user has permissions from remote hosts, do this using:
CREATE USER 'myuser'#'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'mypass';
CREATE USER 'myuser'#'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'mypass';
Then:
GRANT ALL ON . TO 'myuser'#'localhost';
GRANT ALL ON . TO 'myuser'#'%';
Then go ahead and restart the mysql instance on your server. This also assumes you have set IP tables up to allow port 3306 TCP incoming to your server.
I have a MYSQL server running on my Windows 7 and I need to access it from a Debian VM but when I try I get this error :
ERROR 2003 (HY000): Can't connect to MySQL server on 'xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx' (110)
I checked in my.ini and there is no sign of "bind-address" parameter around so I just can't figure out where the error is.. I can perfectly manage it locally from my Windows. My company is using a proxy but as my VM is on my machine it shouldn't block anything there..
Thanks for your help !
You need to change user host adress as * or given xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx IP.
Look at here: grant remote access of MySQL database from any IP address
To access MySQL from outside. you should enable MySQL remote access .
1- Comment out following lines in Mysql Config(my.cnf/my.ini(for windows))
#bind-address= 127.0.0.1 (if not exist add it and then comment out)
#skip-networking
2- Save the file and restart Mysql server
3- Update GRANT privilege
By default, mysql username and password you are using is allowed to access mysql-server locally. So need to update privilege.
Run following query to update privilege
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'USERNAME'#'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'PASSWORD' WITH GRANT OPTION;
Change the 'USERNAME' to your Database user and 'PASSWORD' to User Password
You should check that:
"bind-address = 0.0.0.0" is present in your my.cnf
The user your are using has remote access (not just 'locahost')
Check that MySQL port (usually 3306) is opened if you have a firewall running
I would really advice to create a specific user for remote access with limited rights.
Finally I uninstalled everything and trieed again and it worked so now I close this ticket for good.
Thanks to those who have tried to help me !
I'm trying to let a client on another network remotely connect to a database i;ve setup, but every time I try and setup the connection for them, i get SQLSTATE[HY000] [2003] Can't connect to MySQL server on 'servername' (110)
I have the following:
MySQL user has been created, with the host set to the IP address of their server
my.cnf bind address has been set to 0.0.0.0
mysql service has been restarted
MySQL is running on port 3306
3306/tcp incoming is allowed in the firewall of my server
I have tested it from other servers INSIDE our network, e.g. my own local PC and from another one of our web servers, setting up a MySQL user for those specific hosts, and it works fine. It's just this one outside our network that doesn't work.
Could it be something on their end that is stopping them being able to connect? Or have I missed anything?
Thanks.
To access MySQL from outside. you should enable MySQL remote access .
Here is the way to do so:
1- Comment out following lines in Mysql Config(my.cnf)
#bind-address = 127.0.0.1
#skip-networking
2- Save the file and restart Mysql server
3- Update GRANT privilege
By default, mysql username and password you are using is allowed to access mysql-server locally. So need to update privilege.
Run following query to update privilege
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'USERNAME'#'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'PASSWORD' WITH GRANT OPTION;
Change the 'USERNAME' to your Database user and 'PASSWORD' to User Password
I am running MySQL on an Amazon AWS Instance. I was able to previously connect to the MySQL Database via MySQL Query Browser. Now I am traveling outside the U.S. and I am having trouble connecting via the Query Browser. I am able to use Terminal to create an ssh connection and then login to MySQL, so it does not appear to be a larger issue with the MySQL Database.
Has anyone else had a similar problem? Any ideas how I can fix this?
This is the error I get from the MySQL Browser
Your connection attempt
failed for user 'admin' from your host to server at
ec2-XXX-XXX-XXX-XXX.compute-1.amazonaws.com:3306: Can't connect to
MySQL server on 'ec2-XXX-XXX-XXX-XXX.compute-1.amazonaws.com' (4)
Please: 1 Check that mysql is running on server
ec2-XXX-XXX-XXX-XXX.compute-1.amazonaws.com
2 Check that mysql is
running on port 3306 (note: 3306 is the default, but this can be
changed)
3 Check the admin has rights to connect to
ec2-XXX-XXX-XXX-XXX.compute-1.amazonaws.com from your address (mysql
rights define what clients can connect to the server and from which
machines)
4 Make sure you are both providing a password if needed and
using the correct password for
ec2-XXX-XXX-XXX-XXX.compute-1.amazonaws.com connecting from the host
address you're connecting from
The only possible problem I see could be #4, but I ran and re-ran this command via Terminal:
grant all privileges on *.* to 'admin'#'%' identified by '<pass>' with grant option;
