MariaDB not allowing remote connections

Question

As the screenshots show, I have the accounts setup to allow remote connections but as shown in the second screenshot I still cannot connect remotely.

Answer 1

I use for testing in the virtual machine (Ubuntu 16.04), for me, I fixed the error changing the file 50-server.cnf.

My server is Ubuntu, so changing the file below:

50-server.cnf

The path of this file:

/etc/mysql/mariadb.conf.d

PS: Create a backup of the file before the change.

Only change in file the bind-address 127.0.0.0 to bind-address 0.0.0.0

After this restart service and try again.

Regarding that user, need to allow for external connections.

I hope that this info helps you.
