grant remote access of MySQL database from any IP address

Question

I am aware of this command:

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES
ON database.*
TO \'user\'@\'yourremotehost\'
IDENTIFIED BY \'newpassword\';

But then it on

Answer 1

Open your mysql console and execute the following command (enter your database name,username and password):

GRANT ALL ON yourdatabasename.* TO admin@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'yourRootPassword';

Then Execute:

FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Open command line and open the file /etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/mysqld.cnf using any editor with root privileges.

For example:

sudo nano /etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/mysqld.cnf

Then comment out the below line:

bind-address = 127.0.0.1

Restart mysql to reflect the changes using command:

sudo service mysql restart

Enjoy ;)
