I have a database on my server and I want to connect to it through MySql Workbench, I entered my HostName, Username, Password, When I click Test Connection I get this Error Message:
Failed to Connect to MYSQL at **.**.***.**:3306 with user root.
Host '**.171.199.66' is not allowed to connect to this MySQL server
I am 100% sure my Hostname, username and Password are correct, I did some research and from what I managed to find out that I have to actually permit an access from my IP address to the database before I can connect.....if this is correct could someone explain to me how to give myself e permission to connect to my database on server.
It is likely that your MySql root account is configured to not accept remote root logins (its a default). If you are trying to connect from anywhere but localhost its not going to allow it. Your're right you need to permit access for your IP. You need to do it from within the server your MySql is installed on. In case of if you have managed hosting, your hosting company should provide you with a tool like phpMyAdmin or such, to manage your MySql. If it is your own installation, you can connect to mysql server instance from the console and go from there.
Check out another stackoverflow post:
Here is what you should be looking for in phpMyAdmin:
Keep in mind it might look a bit different depending on the phpMyAdmin Version.

We're in the process of setting up Tableau connectivity to our company's sales database and so far, the people that have been attempting to connect (they're from some other company) keep getting denied. The errors they're getting are as follows.
Unable to connect to the ODBC Data Source. Check that the necessary drivers are installed and that the connection properties are valid.
Can't connect to MySQL server on '[IP address] (61).'
Unable to connect to the server '[IP address].' Check that the server is running and that you have access privileges to the requested database.
Today we opened ports 3306 and 20560. We were hoping we could set up some kind of port forwarding thing so that they connect to 20560. I'm not sure what we need to do to set that up, however. I was also told that SSH tunneling is an option, but connecting with PuTTY doesn't yield any results.
I'm at a complete loss as to what I need to do to allow them to connect. I'm also not sure that opening port 3306 is safe and I'd like to know if I should have it closed. I randomly picked port 20560 because it's not being used for anything. We don't want just anyone to connect, but I've been told that the IP address connecting to our database may not be static.
I have the following information to a SQL database
Server : MyUserName.mysql.db
User : MyUserName
Password : MyPassWord
I am a little noob in this context, so I have some questions:
How to know where is hosted my database? Is it in mysql domain? (Isn't that the type of database?)
How can I access it and visualize it?
To begin with, you need a CLIENT to be able to access your database. For MySQL, you can use either Workbench or MySQL CLIENT (the last giving you command-line level access).
Second, and according to your information, the server is MyUserName.mysql.db so if you try to PING that server you should get some response.
Third, MySQL has a default port number so you need to configure your client to access that server though that port (if I'm not mistaking, 3306).
You will also need access credentials to your database.
Your DB administrator should be able to provide all the information you need.
Contact your database administrator.
If you're trying to acess/visualize sql server database on your local computer install ssms to connect to your local database , similarly you can access any other database through ssms.
I am trying to connect mysql database in phpmyadmin to the access file. I am using mysqlconnector ODBC for that. Tutorial I am following is this
The problem is that when I give the credentials to connect to database, it gives me error as shown in this snapshot
I have tried hard to search on internet but failed. What mistake I am doing. I am putting the ftp information of the server there. Is there any database credentials i need to put?
You can't use the FTP credentials to connect the MySQL database. You have to use the database credentials. Make sure you have done followings before connecting.
Make sure MySQL server is up and running on the HOST IP and PORT.
Your MySQL server can accept connections from your IP or use % for
all IPS
Make sure you have a valid USER account
EDIT
Or tell us where(local server, internet, IP) the MySQL database is installed. The port number the server is listening on. How you access MySQL server normally.
I have seen a lot of posts that claim they are running an RDS instance of MySql in which they cannot connect to, but I am not running RDS.
I used my EC2 insance to host my wordpress blog which was installed using the Web Platform Installer.
This setup the wordpress schema and data that I needed and I have been running it for a couple years.
I want to be able to access this database remotely instead of only logging into my server.
I have checked and have the following users
root
wpadmin
I have also verified that the port specified in the mysql config is the standard 3306 and I have setup an Inbound Firewall rule to allow 3306 through.
When I try to connect from MySql Workbench, I get the following error message:
Number 3 Is particularly one that I do not know how to check, but I do know that MySql is running and that it is running on 3306. Additionally, I know I am using the correct password.
When I try to connect, the prompt looks like this. Do I need to do something to grant Mysql user permissions or anything?
Based on your GRANT information, you have at least the problem of root user only having access privileges from localhost. You would need to create a root#% user (or a more specific host/IP instead of % if you have a reliable address). That would allow external access so long as your EC2 security group also allow access on port 3306 (either globally or to a more restrictive IP address or IP range).
Of course the security implication here is that you are opening up access to MySQL that you might not want to make more accessbile to potential attackers. For this reason, I would recommend you access your DB via SSH tunnel, which is supported by MySQL workbench. This will in essence allow you to shell into the host your your access key and then access as root#localhost.
I am trying to connect to MySql db using VS2010. I added my ip address in cpanel allow hosts. I also grabbed the IP address for the server where the database is hosted which is just my website.
So I go to server explorer, right click database connections and clicked on add a connection
I select .NET Framework Data Provider for MySQL for Data Source
for Sever Name I typed the IP address for my website where the Database is
Typed in the user name and password who has all the privileges, and entered the Database Name too.
When I hit test connection I always getting "Unable to connect to any of the specified hosts"
any advice is appreciated
Thanks
So, in order to connect to a MySql database from VS2010 see the link bellow:

Have you tried adding % as your access host under Manage Remote MySQL Access of your Cpanel?
Try this
http://zambalestechrealm.wordpress.com/2012/03/08/vb-net-remote-access-to-mysql-database-of-my-website-2/
It says
Goto Your site Cpanel, and look for MySQL remote access, in my case i put % in the list of user to access remotely to my database. ‘%’ percent means to allow all connection to connect to my MySQL database.
