Issue to connect the mysql from ubuntu server using database management tool

Question

My UBUNTU server version 18.04.1 and mysql version is 5.7.22 , its working fine. I created database users and provided all privileges to the Users. I changed the bind address 0.0.0.0 in mysql.cnf and connet TCP - 3306 port

Everything I did to connect the database using tools in remote access.

Still its not connected and database management tool shows error like the driver has not received any packets from the server.

ERROR 2003 (HY000): Can't connect to MySQL server on 'XXX.XX.XX.XX'

Answer 1

What's your actual connection string look like? And does the user have permission to access from the IP you are at? For example, if I want to hit my db from home i need to add the user

me@12.345.67.890 

OR for localhost

me@127.0.0.1

and give permission

then "me" would access

mysql -h <server ip> -u me -p <dbname>

that will prompt you to add the password
