Cannot connect to MySQL on server - #1130 - mysql

There have been a number of questions on this topic on Stackoverflow but not exactly my situation.
I have a MySQL server installed on my PC, which was working fine. We used to have a peer-to-peer network in the office. My PC was just named "MY-PC". Some change occurred to the network and my PC is now connected to a "proper" network, and the name of the PC has changed to "MY-PC.mycompanywebsite.co.uk".
Now every time I try to connect to MySQL it gives me the error:
#1130 - Host 'My-PC.mycompanywebsite.co.uk' is not allowed to connect to this MySQL server
I can't log in using the command line tool or anything. Is there a config file setting I need to change to get this working?
By the way, this is a version of MySQL which came in an installation of WAMPServer, so I did not configure it myself.

Failed to connect to database: Error: Can't connect to MySQL server on 'xxxxxx.rds.amazonaws.com' (111)

I am trying to run this command locuscompare(in_fn1 = gwas_fn, in_fn2 = eqtl_fn, title1 = 'CAD GWAS', title2 = 'Coronary Artery eQTL') within R in ubuntu behind a corporate proxy
but having the following persistent issue for three days.
Error in .local(drv, ...) :
Failed to connect to database: Error: Can't connect to MySQL server on 'locuscompare-us-west-2a.xxxxxx.us-west-2.rds.amazonaws.com' (111)
Warning message:
In rm(config) : object 'config' not found
I have already tried the solutions mentioned in stack overflow, such as installing MySQL, assigning users' privilege, editing bind-address in configuration file, but still do not know how to run it smoothly.
I thought at first it was an issue related to the lacking of MySQL server and AWS account on my device. But, when I use it on my mac with home Wi-Fi, it is working like a charm without any installation and creation of MySQL server and AWS account. However, I still need to use this tool on my work PC because of input data privacy issue.
Does it mean I need to create an AWS account and adjust the network setting in it to access MySQL server on this URL 'locuscompare-us-west-2a.xxxxx.us-west-2.rds.amazonaws.com'? (Sorry that I am very new to AWS and MySQL.)
Please let me know how to run this tool behind a corporate proxy.

How do I connect a to a mysql database hosted on pythonanywhere?

I have bought a basic 6$ pythonanywhere server which allows for SCP and SSH connections to their servers. I have deployed my flask application (REST API) to the server and set up a local environment (installed packages, set up path and environmental variables). I ran the app, and it gives me the 404 page on the / route which is actually a sign that it is working.
However when I try to hit a route like /api/users/3 for example, it gives me an error 500 (internal server error). I dug around some log files on the server and found one which is basically the output of the WSGI web server which is host to my flask application. It said that there is an issue with the database communication. From what I understand, it connected successfully but it couldn't query the data from the table:
(1044, "Access denied for user 'secret_username'#'%' to database 'test'")
I have tried to fix this through the web mysql console by giving my <secret_username>#secret_username.pythonanywhere.com all the privilages to test.*, but it gives me an access error once again. I tried to SSH into the machine that is host to the mysql server and tried to connect to it - secret_username.mysql.pythonanywhere-services.com but it doesn't allow me to ssh into this server.
Has anyone experienced this issue? I am almost sure that my connection is set up correctly because if it didn't establish connection it would give me an access error with message `using password "yes". I've read on forums a bit, they suggest installing a mysql server on the same server as the flask application, but I don't have access to sude for some reason, probably due to my cheap plan. Any ideas?
If you are using the MySQL database provided by PythonAnywhere, with the hostname secret_username.mysql.pythonanywhere-services.com, then your database will be called secret_username$test, not just test -- see the "Databases" page on the PythonAnywhere website.

MySQL Workbench Failing to Connect to Server (Windows)

There are many errors I have found across the web that deal with MySQL connection errors, but I have found none that address this specific problem that I am having. In short, I have the newest version of the MySQL Server installed (8.0), I have verified it is running in my Services tab, and I can connect to the server via the MySQL client just fine. However, I cannot open a local connection in Workbench.
When I click on the local instance, it hangs until I manually stop it. I then get the aforementioned error
I then went and ran a diagnostic of the server in the MySQL Installer, which reported that everything is working fine (unless I am reading it wrong)
The logs of said diagnostic also report that the server is installed, functional, and running.
I then checked made sure the server was running in Services
After that, I verified that I could connect to the client, and that I could use the database I was working with (info redacted due to it being company property lol)
Additionally, I also made a new connection on Workbench on port 3307 instead of the standard 3306.
When I click on this, I can enter into the connection without getting the "Cannot access a disposed object" error. However, this connection still cannot connect to the server.
I also saw that some people were having success by navigating into C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 8.0\bin and running mysqld --install. This appeared to be beneficial, but ended up doing nothing.
Does anyone know how I can fix this without completely uninstalling everything? Everything was working fine yesterday but has suddenly stopped as of this morning.

"Host is not allowed to connect to this MySQL server" over network

I am attempting to connect Tableau on a client (Windows 7) to a MySQL Server 5.6 (on Windows Server 2012 R2) that is hosting my data warehouse. This server is hosted on my university's network. Here is what I have done so far:
created a user that has privileges it needs (I ran GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON the user with FLUSH PRIVILEDGES, based on some other stack overflow posts)
made sure the host specified in the user table is "%"
made sure there was nothing in the my.cnf file that would prevent external connections (again based on another stackoverflow post)
ensured that the edition of MySQL running on the server is 64 bit, like the version of Tableau I'm running
I still get the "[MySQL][ODBC 5.3(w) Driver]Host 'vpn240-74.vpn.utah.edu' is not allowed to connect to this MySQL server" error. This same error is thrown when I try to telnet to the port on the server MySQL is listening on.
I have found that this error persists whether I am connected via a vpn or on campus. I can RDP to the server in question, ping it, and found the firewall rule for the port I am using, so I don't think there is anything network related that is stopping me.
All my stackoverflow research says that error means MySQL is convinced that the user is not allowed to connect from that specific hostname, but I get the same error whether I change the entry in the user table to be "%" or the specific hostname from the error message.
Also I see that the Tableau MySQL driver I installed is a lower version number than the MySQL instance I'm trying to hit (5.3 vs 5.6) but that is the newest driver on the Tableau site that I can find.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Have you tried making an ODBC connection in your computer to your MySQL server and testing it that way?
Tableau can then connect via an ODBC connection made rather than the explicit Tableau MySQL driver. In Tableau under More Servers... Other Databases (ODBC) shows up at the very bottom.

How to fix 'Can not connect to MySQL server' error?

First of all I apologize for my English is not perfect.
I'm trying to connect to mysql database remotely.
I have already done the basic steps such as, for example, comment the bind address in my.cnf.
I gave permissions to the appropriate users in MySQL.
I tried with my friend to do it connect to the database, and it worked but we were in the same room with the same router.
Now I'm home and I tried to connect my friend, but I always get error:
ERROR 2003 (HY000): Can not connect to MySQL server ....
Maybe it's a problem of my home router? I can not even do the telnet.
P.S. I've also taken steps to set the firewall.
Some reasons for that,
mysqld is not running on the local host. Check your operating
system's process list to ensure the mysqld process is present.
You're running a MySQL server on Windows with many TCP/IP connections
to it. If you're experiencing that quite often your clients get that
error, you can find a workaround here: Section B.5.2.2.1, “Connection
to MySQL Server Failing on Windows”.
Check whether the server is running on that host by executing telnet
some_host 3306 and pressing the Enter key a couple of times. (3306 is
the default MySQL port number. Change the value if your server is
listening to a different port.) If there is a MySQL server running
and listening to the port, you should get a response that includes
the server's version number. If you get an error such as telnet:
Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused, then there is
no server running on the given port.
Look at this mySQL full documentation, it will be helpful.
