使用Sqldbx远程连接到EC2 MySql

Question

I have sqldbx installed on my windows 10 64bit. When I choose "new connection" I have DBMS type "MySQL" to choose. At first I got errors for missing Dlls but I overcame it.

My sqldbx is installed on Ubuntu in AWS EC2 instance. It has a db and it's working well with my site and using phpmyadmin. I guess my MySql is not configured for remote connections. I tried to add a line in mysql configuration to bind to the external ip but not only it didn't work remotely, it also broke the internal connection and site didn't work well.

Anyone can help please? Thanks!

Answer 1

It appears that the configuration file is NOT named my.cnf and that's why mine didn't have the bind data.

The RIGHT file is here: /etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/mysqld.cnf

Once I comment out the bind line (and I know it's security issue, it's temp) I was able to connect remotely using the external IP and default port 3306. In order to connect with root you need to run this first: mysqladmin -u root -p pass

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON . TO 'root'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'PASSWORD' with grant option;

Cheers!
