I have a MySQL database which i access through Java JDBC and it works correct in my local network(using localhost or 192.168.*.* local adress). But i also want to access it remotely from internet and when i connect to it using my global adress 176.214.186.243 (it is dynamyc adress but it stays still for 2 days of my tries) i get next error com.mysql.cj.jdbc.exceptions.CommunicationsException: Communications link failure
The last packet sent successfully to the server was 0 milliseconds ago. The driver has not received any packets from the server.
In MySQL workbench i have priveleges showed on Picture(All ot them.
But i still cant connect to database using global IP.
What am i doing wrong?
mysql restricts access for any combination of user, table and remote address. In your case the user most likely can access everything locally, but not from extern (e.g for root this would be a good thing). This can be changed by:
GRANT ALL ON <database>.* TO 'client'#'%.%.%.%' IDENTIFIED BY '<a password for external usage>';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
<database>.* grants access to alle tables in <database>
I already added your username which seems to be client
%.%.%.% means any IP Adress where the 1.-4. digit can be anything
maybe you can limit the range of IPs or use a FQDN instead
<a password for external usage> is just for this connections and can be something else.
More infos here
you should grant the specified user the privilege to access from a certain IP address like:
GRANT [privileges|ALL PRIVILEGES] ON schema.table TO 'username'#'hostname'
IDENTIFIED BY 'password'
WITH GRANT OPTION;
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
privileges can be operation names like select, drop and ... or if you want to grant all the privileges to a user set "ALL PRIVILEGES"
schema.table can just specified a single table or it may be something like . to support all the schemas and tables.
username which is also called role is abvious but it can be % to grant all the users the given privileges.
hostname can be ip or host name or as like as username can be % to grant the specified users the given privileges.
for further information use can follow https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/grant.html, https://stackoverflow.com/a/6239145/2137378
The mysql documentation is much more prefered. check you mysql version and continue the exact versions documentation on mysql.
Definitely, above descriptions are to let the mysql engine know its remote users and if there is some obstacles between these two like firewall should be resolved somehow. e.g. if you are on ubuntu you can check if the firewall is the main problem by disabling it using:
sudo ufw disable
After disabling the firewall and granting the privileges, remote access was ok then you know the firewall is the issue. to enable if use:
sudo ufw enable
This should be dead simple, but I cannot get it to work for the life of me.
I'm just trying to connect remotely to my MySQL server.
Connecting as:
mysql -u root -h localhost -p
works fine, but trying:
mysql -u root -h 'any ip address here' -p
fails with the error:
ERROR 1130 (00000): Host 'xxx.xx.xxx.xxx' is not allowed to connect to this MySQL server
In the mysql.user table, there is exactly the same entry for user 'root' with host 'localhost' as another with host '%'.
I'm at my wits' end and have no idea how to proceed.
Any ideas are welcome.
Possibly a security precaution. You could try adding a new administrator account:
mysql> CREATE USER 'monty'#'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'some_pass';
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'monty'#'localhost'
-> WITH GRANT OPTION;
mysql> CREATE USER 'monty'#'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'some_pass';
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'monty'#'%'
-> WITH GRANT OPTION;
Although as Pascal and others have noted it's not a great idea to have a user with this kind of access open to any IP. If you need an administrative user, use root, and leave it on localhost. For any other action specify exactly the privileges you need and limit the accessibility of the user as Pascal has suggest below.
Edit:
From the MySQL FAQ:
If you cannot figure out why you get
Access denied, remove from the user
table all entries that have Host
values containing wildcards (entries
that contain '%' or '_' characters). A
very common error is to insert a new
entry with Host='%' and
User='some_user', thinking that this
allows you to specify localhost to
connect from the same machine. The
reason that this does not work is that
the default privileges include an
entry with Host='localhost' and
User=''. Because that entry has a Host
value 'localhost' that is more
specific than '%', it is used in
preference to the new entry when
connecting from localhost! The correct
procedure is to insert a second entry
with Host='localhost' and
User='some_user', or to delete the
entry with Host='localhost' and
User=''. After deleting the entry,
remember to issue a FLUSH PRIVILEGES
statement to reload the grant tables.
See also Section 5.4.4, “Access
Control, Stage 1: Connection
Verification”.
One has to create a new MySQL User and assign privileges as below in Query prompt via phpMyAdmin or command prompt:
CREATE USER 'username'#'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'username'#'localhost' WITH GRANT OPTION;
CREATE USER 'username'#'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'username'#'%' WITH GRANT OPTION;
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Once done with all four queries, it should connect with username / password
My error message was similar and said 'Host XXX is not allowed to connect to this MySQL server' even though I was using root. Here's how to make sure that root has the correct permissions.
My setup:
Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
MySQL v5.5.37
Solution
Open up the file under etc/mysql/my.cnf
Check for:
port (by default this is port = 3306)
bind-address (by default this is bind-address = 127.0.0.1; if you want to open to all then just comment out this line. For my example, I'll say the actual server is on 10.1.1.7)
Now access the MySQL Database on your actual server (say your remote address is 123.123.123.123 at port 3306 as user root and I want to change permissions on database 'dataentry'. Remember to change the IP Address, Port, and database name to your settings)
mysql -u root -p
Enter password: <enter password>
mysql>GRANT ALL ON *.* to root#'123.123.123.123' IDENTIFIED BY 'put-your-password';
mysql>FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
mysql>exit
sudo service mysqld restart
You should now be able to remote connect to your database. For example, I'm using MySQL Workbench and putting in 'Hostname:10.1.1.7', 'Port:3306', 'Username:root'
Just perform the following steps:
Connect to MySQL (via localhost)
mysql -uroot -p
If the MySQL server is running in Kubernetes (K8s) and being accessed via a NodePort
kubectl exec -it [pod-name] -- /bin/bash
mysql -uroot -p
Create user
CREATE USER 'user'#'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
Grant permissions
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'user'#'%' WITH GRANT OPTION;
Flush privileges
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
You need to grant access to the user from any hostname.
This is how you add new privilege from phpmyadmin
Goto Privileges > Add a new User
Select Any Host for the desired username
Simple way:
Grant All Privileges ON *.* to 'USER_NAME'#'%' Identified By 'YOUR_PASSWORD';
then
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
done!
The message *Host ''xxx.xx.xxx.xxx'' is not allowed to connect to this MySQL server is a reply from the MySQL server to the MySQL client. Notice how its returning the IP address and not the hostname.
If you're trying to connect with mysql -h<hostname> -u<somebody> -p and it returns this message with the IP address, then the MySQL server isn't able to do a reverse lookup on the client. This is critical because thats how it maps the MySQL client to the grants.
Make sure you can do an nslookup <mysqlclient> FROM the MySQL server. If that doesn't work, then there's no entry in the DNS server. Alternatively, you can put an entry in the MySQL server's HOSTS file (<ipaddress> <fullyqualifiedhostname> <hostname> <- The order here might matter).
An entry in my server's host file allowing a reverse lookup of the MySQL client solved this very problem.
This working for any future remote mysql connection !
sudo nano /etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/mysqld.cnf
Navigate to the line that begins with the bind-address directive. It should look like this:
bind-address = 0.0.0.0
Login to your mysql as root terminal
mysql -u root -p
-- root password
CREATE USER 'username'#'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'username'#'localhost' WITH GRANT OPTION;
CREATE USER 'username'#'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'username'#'%' WITH GRANT OPTION;
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
EXIT;
finally Grant that machine exclusive permission to connect to the database remotely with the following command.
sudo ufw allow from remote_IP_address to any port 3306
If you modify the grant tables manually (using INSERT, UPDATE, etc.), you should execute
a FLUSH PRIVILEGES statement to tell the server to reload the grant tables.
PS: I wouldn't recommend to allow any host to connect for any user (especially not the root use). If you are using mysql for a client/server application, prefer a subnet address. If you are using mysql with a web server or application server, use specific IPs.
Just use the interface provided by MySql's GUI Tool (SQLyog):
Click on User manager:
Now, if you want to grant access FOR ANY OTHER REMOTE PC, just make sure that, just like in the underneath picture, the Host field value is % (which is the wildcard)
Most of the answers here show you creating users with two host values: one for localhost, and one for %.
Please note that except for a built-in localhost user like root, you don't need to do this. If you simply want to make a new user that can log in from anywhere, you can use
CREATE USER 'myuser'#'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'mypassword';
GRANT <whatever privileges are appropriate> ON <relevant tables> TO myuser;
and it will work just fine. (As others have mentioned, it's a terrible idea to grant administrative privileges to a user from any domain.)
If you are using MySQL WorkBench, you can achieve this easily:
From the menu, select Server -> Users And Privileges
On the lower left, click on "Add account"
Fill the form with username, host matching (% means every host) and the password
Click on "Apply" on the lower right
After this you are good to go. Then, if you want to refine your configuration, you can use the "Administrative Roles" tab to set the command that can be used by the user (SELECT, ALTER etc etc) and the "Schema privileges" tab to restrict the user interaction to specific schemas.
Well, nothing of the above answer worked for me. After a lot of research, I found a solution. Though I may be late this may help others in future.
Login to your SQL server from a terminal
mysql -u root -p
-- root password
GRANT ALL ON *.* to root#'XX.XXX.XXX.XX' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
This should solve the permission issue.
Happy coding!!
simple way is to login to phpmyadmin with root account , there goto mysql database and select user table , there edit root account and in host field add % wild card . and then through ssh flush privileges
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
If this is a recent mysql install, then before changing anything else, try simply to execute this command and then try again:
flush privileges;
This alone fixes the issue for me on Ubuntu 16.04, mysql 5.7.20. YMMV.
Just find a better way to do that from your hosting control panel (I'm using DirectAdmin here)
simply go to the target server DB in your control panel, in my case:
MySQL management -> select your DB -> you will find: "Access Hosts", simply add your remote host here and its working now!
I guess there is a similar option on other C.panels like plesk, etc..
I'm hope it was helpful to you too.
If you happen to be running on Windows; A simple solution is to run the MySQL server instance configuration wizard. It is in your MYSQL group in the start menu. On the second from last screen click the box that says "allow root access from remote machines".
CREATE USER 'username'#'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
this error because no password to the root , and this Maybe occurred with you when you trying to connect from outside .
If you have WAMP Server + Windows 10 and you are using it for development than Right Click on Wamp Icon => Wamp Settings => Check Allow Virtual Hosts other than 127*
I was also facing same issue, It resolved in 2 min for me i just white list ip through cpanel
Suppose you are trying to connect database of server B from server A.
Go to Server B Cpanel->Remote MySQL-> enter Server A IP Address and That's it.
Well what you can do is just open mysql.cfg file and you have to change Bind-address to this
bind-address = 127.0.0.1
and then Restart mysql and you will able to connect that server to this.
Look this you can have idea form that.
this is real sol
This answer might help someone...
All these answers didnt help, then I realised I forgot to check one crucial thing.. The port :)
I have mysql running in a docker container running on a different port. I was pointing to my host machine on port 3306, which I have a mysql server running on. My container exposes the server on port 33060. So all this time, i was looking at the wrong server! doh!
This working for DirectAdmin;
Go to your DirectAdmin.
Go to your MySQL Management.
Select your database.
Under your Accesse Host tab, there is a field.
You should fill this field by xxx.xx.xxx.xx.
Click on Add Host.
Finished. Now you can access to this DB by your your_database_username & your_database_password.
So Simple!
CPANEL solution
Go to Cpanel, look for Remote MySQL.
Add the the IP in the input field:
Host (% wildcard is allowed)
Comment to remember what IP that is.
That was it for me.
1. From a terminal, connect you to your MySQL running container
docker exec -it your_container_name_or_id bash
2. In your container, connect you to the MySQL database
mysql -u your_user -p
enter your password to connect to database.
3. execute this SQL script to list all existing database users:
SELECT host, user FROM mysql.user;
The result will be some thing like below:
host
user
127.0.0.1
root
::1
root
localhost
mysql.sys
localhost
root
you should add a new row:
host
user
%
root
CREATE USER 'username'#'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'username'#'%' WITH GRANT OPTION;
Some tips:
list privileges using show grants;
create a VPN and just add the ip of the tunnel
Problem: root#localhost is unable to connect to a fresh installation of mysql-community-server on openSUSE 42.2-1.150.x86_64.
Mysql refuses connections - period.
Solution:
$ ls -l /var/lib/mysql/mysql/user.*
-rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysql 0 Apr 29 19:44 /var/lib/mysql/mysql/user.MYD
-rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysql 1024 Apr 29 19:44 /var/lib/mysql/mysql/user.MYI
-rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysql 10684 Apr 29 19:44 /var/lib/mysql/mysql/user.frm
File user.MYD has 0 size (really ?!).
I copied all 3 files from another working system.
$ /usr/sbin/rcmysql stop
$ cd /var/lib/mysql/mysql/
$ scp root#othersytem:/var/lib/mysql/mysql/user.* ./
$ /usr/sbin/rcmysql start
$ cd -
$ mysql -u root -p
I was able to log in. Then, it was just a matter of re-applying all schema privileges.
Also, if you disabled IPv6, re-enable it temporary so that root#::1 account can also work.
if you are trying to execute mysql query withouth defining connectionstring, you will get this error.
Probably you forgat to define connection string before execution. have you check this out?
(sorry for bad english)
All of the answers here didn't work in my case so I guest this may help other users in the future. This can also be a problem in our code, not just in MySQL alone.
If you are using VB.NET
Instead of this code:
Dim server As String = My.Settings.DB_Server
Dim username As String = My.Settings.DB_Username
Dim password As String = My.Settings.DB_Password
Dim database As String = My.Settings.DB_Database
MysqlConn.ConnectionString = "server=" & server & ";" _
& "user id=" & username & ";" _
& "password=" & password & ";" _
& "database=" & database
MysqlConn = New MySqlConnection()
You need to move MysqlConn = New MySqlConnection() on the first line. So it would be like this
MysqlConn = New MySqlConnection()
Dim server As String = My.Settings.DB_Server
Dim username As String = My.Settings.DB_Username
Dim password As String = My.Settings.DB_Password
Dim database As String = My.Settings.DB_Database
MysqlConn.ConnectionString = "server=" & server & ";" _
& "user id=" & username & ";" _
& "password=" & password & ";" _
& "database=" & database
I have installed MySQL Community Edition 5.5 on my local machine and I want to allow remote connections so that I can connect from external source.
How can I do that?
That is allowed by default on MySQL.
What is disabled by default is remote root access. If you want to enable that, run this SQL command locally:
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'root'#'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'password' WITH GRANT OPTION;
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
And then find the following line and comment it out in your my.cnf file, which usually lives on /etc/mysql/my.cnf on Unix/OSX systems. In some cases the location for the file is /etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/mysqld.cnf).
If it's a Windows system, you can find it in the MySQL installation directory, usually something like C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.5\ and the filename will be my.ini.
Change line
bind-address = 127.0.0.1
to
#bind-address = 127.0.0.1
And restart the MySQL server (Unix/OSX, and Windows) for the changes to take effect.
After doing all of above I still couldn't login as root remotely, but Telnetting to port 3306 confirmed that MySQL was accepting connections.
I started looking at the users in MySQL and noticed there were multiple root users with different passwords.
select user, host, password from mysql.user;
So in MySQL I set all the passwords for root again and I could finally log in remotely as root.
use mysql;
update user set password=PASSWORD('NEWPASSWORD') where User='root';
flush privileges;
Just a note from my experience, you can find configuration file under this path /etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/mysqld.cnf.
(I struggled for some time to find this path)
In my case I was trying to connect to a remote mysql server on cent OS. After going through a lot of solutions (granting all privileges, removing ip bindings,enabling networking) problem was still not getting solved.
As it turned out, while looking into various solutions,I came across iptables, which made me realize mysql port 3306 was not accepting connections.
Here is a small note on how I checked and resolved this issue.
Checking if port is accepting connections:
telnet (mysql server ip) [portNo]
Adding ip table rule to allow connections on the port:
iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 3306 -j ACCEPT
Would not recommend this for production environment, but if your iptables are not configured properly, adding the rules might not still solve the issue. In that case following should be done:
service iptables stop
Hope this helps.
All process for remote login. Remote login is off by default.You need to open it manually for all ip..to give access all ip
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'root'#'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
Specific Ip
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'root'#'your_desire_ip' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
then
flush privileges;
You can check your User Host & Password
SELECT host,user,authentication_string FROM mysql.user;
Now your duty is to change this
bind-address = 127.0.0.1
You can find this on
sudo nano /etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/mysqld.cnf
if you not find this on there then try this
sudo nano /etc/mysql/my.cnf
comment in this
#bind-address = 127.0.0.1
Then restart Mysql
sudo service mysql restart
Now enjoy remote login
Please follow the below mentioned steps inorder to set the wildcard remote access for MySQL User.
(1) Open cmd.
(2) navigate to path C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.X\bin and
run this command.
mysql -u root -p
(3) Enter the root password.
(4) Execute the following command to provide the permission.
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'USERNAME'#'IP' IDENTIFIED BY
'PASSWORD';
USERNAME: Username you wish to connect to MySQL server.
IP: Public IP address from where you wish to allow access to MySQL
server.
PASSWORD: Password of the username used.
IP can be replaced with % to allow user to connect from any IP
address.
(5) Flush the previleges by following command and exit.
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
exit;
or \q
I had to this challenge when working on a Java Project with MySQL server as the database.
Here's how I did it:
First, confirm that your MySQL server configuration to allow for remote connections. Use your preferred text editor to open the MySQL server configuration file:
sudo nano /etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/mysqld.cnf
Scroll down to the bind-address line and ensure that is either commented out or replaced with 0.0.0.0 (to allow all remote connections) or replaced with Ip-Addresses that you want remote connections from.
Once you make the necessary changes, save and exit the configuration file. Apply the changes made to the MySQL config file by restarting the MySQL service:
sudo systemctl restart mysql
Next, log into the MySQL server console on the server it was installed:
mysql -u root -p
Enter your mysql user password
Check the hosts that the user you want has access to already. In my case the user is root:
SELECT host FROM mysql.user WHERE user = "root";
This gave me this output:
+-----------+
| host |
+-----------+
| localhost |
+-----------+
Next, I ran the command below to grant the root user remote access to the database named my_database:
USE my_database;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'root'#'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'my-password';
Note: % grants a user remote access from all hosts on a network. You can specify the Ip-Address of the individual hosts that you want to grant the user access from using the command - GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'root'#'Ip-Address' IDENTIFIED BY 'my-password';
Afterwhich I checked the hosts that the user now has access to. In my case the user is root:
SELECT host FROM mysql.user WHERE user = "root";
This gave me this output:
+-----------+
| host |
+-----------+
| % |
| localhost |
+-----------+
Finally, you can try connecting to the MySQL server from another server using the command:
mysql -u username -h mysql-server-ip-address -p
Where u represents user, h represents mysql-server-ip-address and p represents password. So in my case it was:
mysql -u root -h 34.69.261.158 -p
Enter your mysql user password
You should get this output depending on your MySQL server version:
Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 4

Resources: How to Allow Remote Connections to MySQL
That's all.
I hope this helps
Close comment at link /etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/mysqld.cnf or /etc/mysql/my.cnf:
bind-address = 127.0.0.1 =>> #bind-address = 127.0.0.1
Change the hostname so that all machines can access it, run this SQL command locally:
UPDATE mysql.user SET Host='%' WHERE Host='localhost' AND User='root';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Restart service:
sudo service mysql restart
Open port mysql:
sudo ufw allow 3306
If your MySQL server process is listening on 127.0.0.1 or ::1 only then you will not be able to connect remotely. If you have a bind-address setting in /etc/my.cnf this might be the source of the problem.
You will also have to add privileges for a non-localhost user as well.
If you installed MySQL from brew it really does only listen on the local interface by default. To fix that you need to edit /usr/local/etc/my.cnf and change the bind-address from 127.0.0.1 to *.
Then run brew services restart mysql.
Just F.Y.I
I pulled my hair out with this problem for hours.. finally I call my hosting provider and found that in my case using a cloud server that in the control panel for 1and1 they have a secondary firewall that you have to clone and add port 3306. Once added I got straight in..
For whom it needs it, check firewall port 3306 is open too, if your firewall service is running.
This blog How to setup a MySQL server on Local Area Network will be useful in setting up a MySQL from scratch
If mysqld has a bind address set to a loopback/local address (e.g. 127.0.0.1), the server will not be reachable from remote hosts, because a loopback interface cannot be reached from any remote host.
Set this option to 0.0.0.0 (:: for IPv4+6) to accept connections from any host, or to another externally-reachable address if you want to only allow connections on one interface.
Source
And for OS X people out there be aware that the bind-address parameter is typically set in the launchd plist and not in the my.ini file. So in my case, I removed <string>--bind-address=127.0.0.1</string> from /Library/LaunchDaemons/homebrew.mxcl.mariadb.plist.
Enabling remote root access can be dangerous. It would be preferable if you were to set up user accounts with more restrictive permissions. The following three steps should do it.
Ensure that the line starting with bind-address ... is at least commented out in your my.ini or my.cnf file. If it doesn't exist, move on.
You can find this file in C:\ProgramData\MySQL\MySQL Server 8.0 on Windows.
Afterwards, check that the user account you are establishing the connection with does not have localhost in the Limit to Hosts Matching field. While it isn't recommended, you can instead put % in that field for testing purposes. You can do this by opening a local connection to the server with MySQL Workbench, then going to Server>Users and Privileges from the menu bar and finding the user account you want to connect with.
The "Limit to Hosts Matching" field is what disallows you to connect non-locally. I.e. it limits the accepted connections to a pattern of IP addresses. Ideally, you should be accessing the MySQL server from a static IP address or subnet, so that you can be as restrictive as possible.
Obviously, your firewall should allow the MySQL Server application to communicate over the port you want. The physical networking equipment in between you and your server should allow communication on the port you want to connect with. (port 3306 typically)
MySQL 8 no longer allows you to create a user using the GRANT command. You need to create the user first.
CREATE USER 'root'#'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'PASSWORD';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'root'#'%' WITH GRANT OPTION;
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
some times need to use name of pc on windows
first step) put in config file of mysql:
mysqld.cnf SET bind-address= 0.0.0.0
(to let recibe connections over tcp/ip)
second step) make user in mysql, table users, with name of pc on windows propierties, NOT ip
Check remote server grant permission to Wildcard access to port 3306:
sudo lsof -i -P -n | grep LISTEN
It should NOT be same like this:
mysqld 23083 mysql 21u IPv4 145900142 0t0 TCP
127.0.0.1:3306 (LISTEN)
In this case, we need to update /etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/mysqld.cnf or /etc/mysql/mariadb.conf.d/50-server.cnf with:
bind-address = 127.0.0.1 --> 0.0.0.0
And then restart mysql "sudo service mysql restart"
In order to test mySQL connection from a client:
nc -vz <host_address> 3306
I am developing an Android application and I'm using PostgreSQL bundled with PostGIS. I want to use a local database for that but connecting via 'localhost' doesn't work, I have tried the alternative to use '127.0.0.1' instead but it is not working, I am getting the following error:
org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: Connection refused. Check that the hostname and port are correct and that the postmaster is accepting TCP/IP connections.
Using my network's ipv4 adress works, but I cannot connect via localhost. How can I fix that?
My pg_hba.conf looks like:
...
# Put your actual configuration here
# ----------------------------------

# If you want to allow non-local connections, you need to add more

My code in Eclipse looks like
private String DB_URL = "jdbc:postgresql://" + Server.getDbserver() + ":" + Server.getDbport() + "/postgis";
And my variables inside my Server class look like.
private static String dbserver = "localhost";
private static int dbport = 5123;
As a summary, connecting via my network ipv4 (for example 192.168.1.199) works, but connecting via 'localhost' or '127.0.0.1' generates me the error I posted above.
Why are you using 192.168.1.1/24 and trust? Try it maybe like this:
host all all 192.168.1.1/32 md5
And then implement the connection with username / password.
Well, you need a connection between your Android device and your computer but unfortunately, the USB cable does not do that.
However, if you do want to rule your application offline, you will have to make your PC or your Android device a hotspot. I would not reccomend you to make your tablet a hotspot, but making a computer a hotspot is pretty easy, you can use Connectify and voila, your laptop is connected to the same LAN as your computer and you will get the computer ipv4 provided to you by Connectify itself.
Have fun.
