I'm trying to connect to a remote databases using an ip address ,login and password,the instance name is SQLEXPRESS ,Any idea how can i connect to this databases with workbench ?
Just replace the localhost server (or IP) with the correct IP.
You might need to create a dedicated user for external connection, since default root user is restricted to connect only from localhost.

From the figure, you shared I can see you are using HeidiSQL software to connect with a remote MySQL server. Hostname/IP should be your hosting IP address provided by your hosting provider. You need to verify the port where your MySQL is running. Here you have set 3306 which is the default port. It could run on a different port. In the User and Password fields, you should use your username and password to login into your hosting server.
I have launched an AWS EC2 Windows_Server-2016 instance.
Since this server is windows based,I can successfully connect to
it using remote desktop connection by entering the username,
password and a .ppk file.
I have installed MySQL server on the instance and created a user
that is allowed to login with any ip i.e by providing the '%' sign.
Here's what my AWS instance security group looks like :
I have tried connecting to the MySQL server using SQLYOG using 2
different scenarios :
Tried connecting by using the aws public ipv4 address as a host field and
using mysql username & password
Tried connecting by creating an SSH connection i.e providing server
username/password and .ppk file in SSH connection panel & then
providing mysql host/username and localhost in mysql connection
panel
None of the methods used allows me to connect.I try same procedure with a linux based server and can connect successfully. Please let me know where am I going wrong while using a windows based MySQL hosting.
MySQL has an extra level of IP protection for remote clients. You have to GRANT access to the remote ip(your house of office) to be able to connect. As root, you have to do :
GRANT ALL ON <db>.* TO '<username>'#'<remote ip>' IDENTIFIED BY '<remote_password>';
Where is the DB you are trying to connect to etc.
i have configured the phpmyadmin's config.inc.php file and a drop down menu has appeared accordingly in localhost/phpmyadmin to select the server. But when i try to connect to the server it says:
phpMyAdmin tried to connect to the MySQL server, and the server rejected the connection. You should check the host, username and password in your configuration and make sure that they correspond to the information given by the administrator of the MySQL server.
i have added my ip address to the online host server in the cpanel and have access to the remote sql connection.
please help.
Most hosts block incoming connections to the MySQL server as a security measure. You'll have to ask your host about unblocking port 3306 and how to access your MySQL directly -- or run an API on your web host, which would have access to the MySQL server due to being on the same network, and access the database through that. For phpMyAdmin specifically, just install it on your web host instead of your local machine, then access it through the internet rather than localhost.
We have a Linux Vm which is running our OTRS. I have found the kernel file which has the database configuration details. In there the host name is listed as local host.
I tried using the server IP address along with the database username that is there; however I cannot seem to connect.
I also cannot find the port that is utilized. How do I connect to the database on mysqlworkbench,
Maybe server doesn't allow remote connections to the DB or user used by OTRS is only a local user?
If this is true you've got two options:
Create user that is allowed to login remotelyCreate user that is allowed to login remotely
Create user that is allowed to login remotely
Use Standart (TCP/IP) over SSH as connection method in MySQL workbench. This option allows to first connect over SSH to the server and than connect to the DB as local user
I'm trying to connect to my MySQL database using Sequel-Pro and I'm kinda confused what to use as my host. My hosting provider only gave me 'localhost' as my host then some user and password.
Typically you cannot connect remotely to DB a hosting provider will give you. There are a few that allow, but on shared environments (Dreamhost for example) but generally they wont allow you to as it is a potential security issue.
What sequel thinks you are trying to do is connect to your local computer (which localhost and 127.0.0.1 should resolve to). IF you are trying to connect to the remote DB of your hosting provider then you would need the public IP address or domain name of their DB server, not localhost.
If your provider does not offer remote DB access but does offer SSH access, you can use the SSH tunnel option in SequelPro to connect your host over SSH and then access your DB over that connection.
Sorry localhost is your local machine which is lookup on 127.0.0.1. Contact your provider again to acquire the correct host or IP address of the server hosting the MySQL engine. If they require you to connect via SSH, ask them for the right connection details and instruction.
I would assume that the hostname "localhost" is referring to the database from the application running on your hosting providers system.
If you use localhost from your own computer it will try to connect to a local database, on your own computer. (localhost is just a hostname translated to 127.0.0.1 by the hosts-file on your system)
You need to have a valid hostname for the database, please ask your provider if you can access the database from a external host and have them send you a real hostname.
