I have a server with Rackspace. I want to access the database from my local machine command line.
I tried like:
mysql -u username -h my.application.com -ppassword
But it gives an error:
ERROR 2003 (HY000):
Can't connect to MySQL server on 'my.application.com' (10061)
What causes this error and how can I connect to the remote database?
To directly login to a remote mysql console, use the below command:
mysql -u {username} -p'{password}' \
-h {remote server ip or name} -P {port} \
-D {DB name}
For example
mysql -u root -p'root' \
-h 127.0.0.1 -P 3306 \
-D local
no space after -p as specified in the Using Options on the Command Line documentation
It will take you to the mysql console directly by switching to the mentioned database.
simply put this on terminal at ubuntu:
mysql -u username -h host -p
Now hit enter
terminal will ask you password, enter the password and you are into database server
edit my.cnf file:
vi /etc/my.cnf:
make sure that:
bind-address=YOUR-SERVER-IP
and if you have the line:
skip-networking
make sure to comment it:
#skip-networking
don't forget to restart:
/etc/init.d/mysqld restart
For Mac, use the following command:
mysql -u app -h hostaddress -P port -D dbname -p
and then enter the password when prompted.
If you want to not use ssh tunnel, in my.cnf or mysqld.cnf you must change 127.0.0.1 with your local ip address (192.168.1.100) in order to have access over the Lan. example bellow:
sudo nano /etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/mysqld.cnf
Search for bind-address in my.cnf or mysqld.cnf
bind-address = 127.0.0.1
and change 127.0.0.1 to 192.168.1.100 ( local ip address )
bind-address = 192.168.1.100
To apply the change you made, must restart mysql server using next command.
sudo /etc/init.d/mysql restart
Modify user root for lan acces ( run the query's bellow in remote server that you want to have access )
root#192.168.1.100:~$ mysql -u root -p
..
CREATE USER 'root'#'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'root'#'%' WITH GRANT OPTION;
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
If you want to have access only from specific ip address , change 'root'#'%' to 'root'#'( ip address or hostname)'
CREATE USER 'root'#'192.168.1.100' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'root'#'192.168.1.100' WITH GRANT OPTION;
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Then you can connect:
nobus#xray:~$ mysql -h 192.168.1.100 -u root -p
tested on ubuntu 18.04 server
Try this command mysql -uuser -hhostname -PPORT -ppassword.
I faced a similar situation and later when mysql port for host was entered with the command, it was solved.
try telnet 3306. If it doesn't open connection, either there is a firewall setting or the server isn't listening (or doesn't work).
run netstat -an on server to see if server is up.
It's possible that you don't allow remote connections.
For more details see:
How Do I Enable Remote Access To MySQL Database Server?
I assume you have MySQL installed on your machine. Execute the command below after filling missing details:
mysql -uUSERNAME -pPASSWORD -hHOSTNAME -P3306
mysql servers are usually configured to listen only to localhost (127.0.0.1), where they are used by web applications.
If that is your case but you have SSH access to your server, you can create an ssh tunnel and connect through that.
On your local machine, create the tunnel.
ssh -L 3307:127.0.0.1:3306 -N $user#$remote_host
(this example uses local port 3307, in case you also have mysql running on your local machine and using the standard port 3306)
Now you should be ale to connect with
mysql -u $user -p -h 127.0.0.1 -P 3307
There is simple command.
mysql -h {hostip} -P {port} -u {username} -p {database}
Example
mysql -h 192.16.16.2 -P 45012 -u rockbook -p rockbookdb
you can use the following code to connect to a remote MY SQL database
mysql -u {database_user} -p{db_password} -h {host_name} -P {port_number}
mysql -u admin -p'your_password' -h your-company.aws.com -P 3306
Must check whether incoming access to port 3306 is block or not by the firewall.
this solution worked for me:
On your remote machine (example: 295.13.12.53) has access to your target remote machine (which runs mysql server)
ssh -f -L 295.13.12.53:3306:10.18.81.36:3306 user#295.13.12.53
Explained:
ssh -f -L your_ssh_mashine_ipaddress:your_ssh_mashine_local_port:target_ipaddress:target_port user#your_ip_address -N
your_ssh_mashine_ipaddress - it is not local ip address, it is ip address
that you ssh to, in this example 295.13.12.53
your_ssh_mashine_local_port -this is custom port not 22, in this example it is 3306.
target_ipaddress - ip of the machine that you trying to dump DB.
target_port - 3306 this is real port for MySQL server.
user#your_ip_address - this is ssh credentials for the ssh mashine that you connect
Once all this done then go back to your machine and do this:
mysqldump -h 295.13.12.53 -P 3306 -u username -p db_name > dumped_db.sql
Will ask for password, put your password and you are connected.
Hope this helps.
Try this, Its working:
mysql -h {hostname} -u{username} -p{password} -N -e "{query to execute}"
This one worked for me in mysql 8, replace hostname with your hostname and port_number with your port_number, you can also change your mysql_user if he is not root
mysql --host=host_name --port=port_number -u root -p
Further Information Here
You should put your password with 'p'
mysql -u root -u 1.1.1.1 -p'MyPass'
I was too getting the same error.
But found it useful by creating new mysql user on remote mysql server ans then connect. Run following command on remote server:
CREATE USER 'openvani'#'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'some_pass';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'openvani'#'localhost WITH GRANT
OPTION;
CREATE USER 'openvani'#'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'some_pass';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'openvani'#'%' WITH GRANT OPTION;
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Now you can connect with remote mysql with following command.
mysql -u openvani -h 'any ip address'-p
Here is the full post:
http://openvani.com/blog/connect-remotely-mysql-server/
If you are on windows, try Visual Studio Code with MySQL plugins, an easy and integrated way to access MySQL data on a windows machine. And the database tables listed and can execute any custom queries.
If port is default, some version required data base name which you trying to connect.
mysql -u <<your username>> -h <<your host>> <<your db name >> -p
This will prompt password Then type your password. If port is not default 3306
Then:
mysql -u <<your username>> -h <<your host>> -P <<your port>> <<your db name >> -p

This question relates to 3rd party tool dbdeployer, located Dbdeployer at Github
The section in question:
Users:
root, with the default grants as given by the server version being installed.
I have an instance installed on port 5730 and port 5731 respectively. (Corresponds to MySQL 5.7.30 and 5.7.31).
I can connect like this:
mysql -u msandbox -p -h 127.0.0.1 -P 5730
mysql -u msandbox -p -h 127.0.0.1 -P 5731
mysql -u mycustomusername -p -h 127.0.0.1 -P 5730
I created a file for grants like shown in the article:
use the option --post-grants-sql-file to load the instructions.
> cat << EOF > orchestrator.sql
CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS orchestrator;
CREATE USER orchestrator IDENTIFIED BY 'msandbox';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON orchestrator.* TO orchestrator;
GRANT SELECT ON mysql.slave_master_info TO orchestrator;
EOF
$ dbdeployer deploy single 5.7 \
--post-grants-sql-file=$PWD/orchestrator.sql
This works fine for a new empty database deployed by the SQL script (and its grants), but I now have an existing instance, and want to create a new database from within the mysql instance.
The article claims that root should be available, but:
mysql -u root -p -h 127.0.0.1 -P 5731
Access denied for user 'root'#'localhost' (using password: YES)
I have the local instance installed on 3306, but this is not supposed to be the user I need to login with.
When I do this:
mysql -u root -p -h localhost -P 5731
I am able to login, _however this seems to ignore the port (when connecting as localhost) because I see different databases (those on port 3306 and not those from 5730/5731)!
This also confirms my suspicion that port gets ignored :
SHOW GRANTS FOR mycustomusername;
ERROR 1141 (42000): There is no such grant defined for user 'mycustomusername' on host '%'
SHOW GLOBAL VARIABLES LIKE '%port%';
.... truncated ....
port | 3306
I need to use root#host5731 and root#host5730 but there does not seem a way to use root here?
I need to do one (either) of the following:
Use root user at these ports,
Get a way to let msandbox or mycustomusername to be able to have ability to do GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES on a new database.
Why?
I cannot remove/recreate a new MySQL instance to add new databases (using the SQL file method) --post-grants-sql-file when I already have existing databases.
Dbdeployer instances and setup installed and configures the password for root to be the same password as the username specified (default username msandbox).
You cannot do this (even though some answers on the github repo claim you can)
dbdeployer deploy single 5.7.31 -u root -p somepassword
Rather what happens (and not clearly mentioned anywhere easily accessible) is that you can do the following:
dbdeployer deploy single 5.7.31 -u someuser -p somepassword
Dbdeployer setup then deploys this someuser AND root to have the same password (somepassword).
More information:
I found that I could do this:
cd /var/dbdeployer/instance/location/of/mysql.5.7.31/
./use -u root
(Not specifying the password here.)
Inspecting the ./use script, it greps the password from your configuration (which is the password for someuser.
This then gives us the ability to login via root to change grants:
mysql -u root -p -h 127.0.0.1 -P 5731
I have now changed the password from inside:
ALTER USER 'root'#'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY 'new-password';
This prevents you from externally using ./use -u root as the password is now different than the other user.
How can I do a mysqldump from a server by using the Terminal?
I did the following:
First of all I logged in:
ssh root#123.456.78.90 // then I enter my password
then I do:
mysql->show databases;
after that:
use the_database;
then I do:
mysqldump -u myusername -p the_database > db_backup.sql
after that, obviously, nothing happens and I do not get an error. So my question is, where does it save the backup and how can I get a the mysqldump on my local machine?
There are multiple ways of how and where to backup, but most probably you would not like to store your backup in the same server where you are running the database.
If you have ssh access to the server you could create an ssh-tunnel, the most basic example of this could be:
$ ssh -L 3307:localhost:3306 root#123.456.78.90
What this will do is to open port 3307 locally (just in case you already are using 3306) and forward it to localhost:3306 going through 123.456.78.90
Then you could do something like:
$ mysqldump -h localhost -P 3307 -u myusername -p the_database > db_backup.sql
To know your current path, run pwd it will print your current directory and in where the db_backup.sql will be created in case you don't specify and absolute path.
Without using ssh you could also try to connect directly by just specifying the host:
$ mysqldump -h 123.456.78.90 -u myusername -p the_database > db_backup.sql
In case the port is open probably you will need just to modify/grant the user permissions to allow your IP to access:
mysql> GRANT ALL ON the_database.* TO your_user#'123.456.78.90' IDENTIFIED BY 'secret';
Connect to your server using ssh command.
run below code
mysqldump -u userName -p databaseName > /path/to/backup.sql
the location path must be on same server
By default I am being connected to port 3309.I need to connect to port 3307.How do I do that?
Use -P parameter, like this:
mysql -h 127.0.0.1 -P 3307 -u user_name -p database_name
Important: if you connecting to localhost - use -h 127.0.0.1, NOT localhost, because MySQL will connect by file socket, not by TCP
From command line, assuming you are on the same host, have you tried :
mysql --user root --password (mypassword) --host=localhost --port=33061
In server name specify custom port when not using default one (you can imply it only when is the standard mysql port 3306)
$servername = "localhost:33061";
you can use -P (uppercase) or --port=portnumber
sample
mysql -u root -P 13306 -p databasename
or
mysql -u root --port=13306 -p databasename
Enter this command changing your details.
after that MySQL requests the password for the connection, then enter the password.
mysql --user=user1 --host=127.16.38.1 --port=25060 -p
especially consider about -p and double Hyphen --
I am giving simple way, one liner which summarizes.
mysql -u root -p --port=3316 // I have MySQL port 3316, instead of default 3306
If the --port=3316 is not provided, then MySQL Cli protocol will try with the default port, without asking.
For any other user
mysql -u anotheruser -p --port=3316
I'm trying to connect to a database and I'm getting this error:
ERROR 1130 (HY000): Unknown error 1130
Here is a command which I'm using:
mysql --host HOSTNAME --user MYUSERNAME -p MYDATABASENAME
I'm using Arch Linux. Thanks in advance for the help !
mysql --host HOSTNAME --user MYUSERNAME -p MYDATABASENAME
MYDATABASENAME - Should be Password not DatabaseName..
Syntax:
shell> mysql --host=localhost --user=myname --password=password mydb
shell> mysql -h localhost -u myname -ppassword mydb
Ref: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/connecting.html
ERROR 1130 translates into Host '<hostname/IP>' is not allowed to connect to this MariaDB server, not sure why you see it as unknown error.
It means that there are no users configured with host=<your hostname/IP> on the server where you are connecting to -- that is, there is no user MYUSERNAME#<your hostname/IP>, or even <anything>#<your hostname/IP>, or <anything>#'%'.
Hi this is similar to phpMyAdmin Remote Access
Basically you have to first configure remote access. Here is a link for MariaDB on Arch Linux remote access configuration. https://dominicm.com/install-mysql-mariadb-on-arch-linux/
Edit config locally.
Config file sudo nano /etc/mysql/my.cnf
Grant privilege to table for user
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON databasename.* TO 'dbusername'#'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'dbpassword';
Restart Mysql/MariaDB
Hopefully this helps.
try mysqld --skip-grant-table
Not sure why but it helped my teammate as she reported.

I got a database server failure, says host is blocked because of many connection errors. It ask me to unblock with 'mysqladmin flush-hosts'
how and where should I run this command to our amazon rds database server?
thank you
For normal MySQL, just connect as the 'root' administrative super user, and issue the command:
FLUSH HOSTS
Even in the case of too many connections, MySQL should be keeping a connection in reserve so that a super user can connect.
The mysqladmin client generally connects as root anyway and issues the above SQL.
Login to any other EC2 instance you have that has access to the RDS instance in question and has mysqladmin installed and run
mysqladmin -h <RDS ENDPOINT URL> -P 3306 -u <USER> -p flush-hosts
you will be prompted for your password
When an Amazon RDS instance is blocked because the value of max_connect_errors has been exceeded, you cannot use the host that generated the connection errors to issue the "flush hosts" command, as the MySQL Server running on the instance is at that point blocking connections from that host.
You therefore need to issue the "flush hosts" command from another EC2 instance or remote server that has access to that RDS instance.
mysqladmin -h [YOUR RDS END POINT URL] -P 3306 -u [DB USER] -p flush-hosts
If this involved launching a new instance, or creating/modifying security groups to permit external access, it may be quicker to simply login to the RDS user interface and reboot the RDS instance that is blocked.
I fixed this error on my RDS instance by rebooting it from the AWS management console. HTH
[edit: lol downvotes]
On Amazon RDS FLUSH HOSTS; can be executed from default user ("Master Username" in RDS info), and it helps.
Since the hosts is blocked. try connect it from other host and execute the mysqladmin flush-hosts command.
mysqladmin -h <RDS ENDPOINT URL> -P <PORT> -u <USER> -p flush-hosts
You will have to connect your RDS through a computer which as mysql installed on it
I used one of my hosting VPS using SSH
After i was logged in my VPS ( i used putty ) It was simple, in the prompt i entered the following command:
mysqladmin -h [YOUR RDS END POINT URL] -P 3306 -u [DB USER] -p flush-hosts
You can restart the database on RDS Admin.
You can flush hosts local MySQL using following command:
mysqladmin -u [username] -p flush-hosts
**** [MySQL password]
or
mysqladmin flush-hosts -u [username] -p
**** [MySQL password]
Though Amazon RDS database server is on network then use the following command as like as flush network MySQL server:
mysqladmin -h <RDS ENDPOINT URL> -P <PORT> -u <USER> -p flush-hosts
mysqladmin -h [YOUR RDS END POINT URL] -P 3306 -u [DB USER] -p flush-hosts
In additional suggestion
you can permanently solve blocked of many connections error problem by editing
my.ini file[Mysql configuration file]
change variables max_connections = 10000;
or
login into MySQL using command line -
mysql -u [username] -p
**** [MySQL password]
put the below command into MySQL window
SET GLOBAL max_connect_errors=10000;
set global max_connections = 200;
check veritable using command-
show variables like "max_connections";
show variables like "max_connect_errors";
got this error today on a customer rds while they were using Heidi Sql client.
We simply used 'mysqlroot' on the ec2 that talks to the rds in question to connect, followed by issuing the 'flush hosts;' cmd.
