Remote connect to mysql server?
- by LF4
I've been trying to figure out why I keep getting this error when I try to connect to the MySQL server with the following commands.
$~ mysql -u username -h SQLserver -p
Enter password:
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'username'@'myIP' (using password: YES)
I've done the following:
Port is open in the firewall other wise I wouldn't get the error it'd just timeout.
MySQL server not running with skip-networking or bind-address
username has host as '%' and I can connect locally so the password is correct.
GRANT USAGE ON *.* TO username@% IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
I wanted to know if anyone had ideas or ran into this issue before and solved it?
mysql> select user, host from mysql.user where user='username';
+----------+------+
| user | host |
+----------+------+
| username | % |
+----------+------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
mysql> show grants for 'username';
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Grants for username@% |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'username'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY PASSWORD '*F42AD03PASSWORDHASHADF4021C86B' |
| GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON `DB2`.* TO 'username'@'%' |
