Fix ERROR 2003 (HY000): Can't connect to MySQL server on 'IP address' (111)
Problem :
Continuing from previous tutorial on how to fix access denied to root connecting remotely error 1045. This time is another error message that was caused by default MariaDB/MySQL server setting.
ERROR 2003 (HY000): Can't connect to MySQL server on 'IP address' (111)
Solution :
The default setting of MariaDB/MySQL server will not allow access with mysql
tool from remote machine. Check the MariaDB/MySQL server's configuration file
either /etc/my.cnf
or /etc/mysql/my.cnf
to see if there is a bind-address
parameter in there. For example,
bind-address = 127.0.0.1
If there is a bind-address
parameter in my.cnf
file, this instruct the server to accept mysql
tool connection from localhost or 127.0.01.
To change and allow remote access, you can either remove the bind-address
parameter or comment it out.
Remember to restart MariaDB/MySQL for the changes to take effect.
>sudo /etc/init.d/mysql restart
Shutting down MySQL. SUCCESS!
Starting MySQL.. SUCCESS!
Hope this helps!
