Cant connect ot remote MySQL DataBase from JavaFX application

Question

I have created an application, that communicates with a remote MySQL database, which is on my laptop. The app work fine, when I use my localhost to connect like this:

public class DbConncetion {
   public Connection Connect(){
        try {
            Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
            Connection con= DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/cms?autoReconnect=true&useSSL=false","root","");
            return con;
        }
        catch(Exception ex){
            System.out.println(ex);       
        }
        return null;
       }

}

It works just great. But when I use my public IP addres instead of "localhost", the app throws:

com.mysql.jdbc.exceptions.jdbc4.MySQLNonTransientConnectionException: Could not create connection to database server. Attempted reconnect 3 times. Giving up.
java.lang.NullPointerException

I look a lot in this forum, but I didn't find anything. I create user and give him all privileges in my XAMPP MySQL like that:

This is pic from there

I configure the router, but i'm not sure is it correct: This is pic from there Can anyone told me, where i go wrong ? Thanks in advance :)

And this is the full stacktrace: t

Answer 1

You must allow the application ip address in Mysql user configuration, in your pic you have masked the ip allowed, that ip must be the application server ip.

If you run your web application from the same local network of the DB Host you cannot connect to the public IP of your DB Host, the router cannot simply do that.

So for your local test you must use localhost.

When you will deploy the app you must use the public.

By the way, it is not a good practice to expose mysql db port to internet.
