Connect on remote MySQL database through Python

Question

I have tried the following script but unfortunately doesn\'t work. I am using a free MySQL database provider. Any ideas?

import MySQLdb

myDB = MySQLdb.conne         


        

Answer 1

 GRANT ALL
 ON  *.*
 TO user@192.168.39.17  -- client ip address
 IDENTIFIED BY 'pwd';

Edit

This is SQL that you'd run on the database in order to ensure that the user has access to everything. pwd is the user's password.

Basically, this answer assumes that the connection issue is a credentials issue.

Answer 2

open your database in mysql and type the following :

mysql> GRANT ALL ON *.* TO root@'x' IDENTIFIED BY 'Your-password'

where x is the ip address of the user that wants to access your db.

Answer 3

This is what I would do

1. See if the port is actually open on that machine.
2. On the machine you are connecting from, open console/cmd/terminal and see if you can connect using mysql -u XXXX -h 208.11.220.249 -p. If your mysql client can not connect, then there is no way you can connect using python

Answer 4

You don't have permission for connecting to database with this user. Follow these steps:

1.try connecting to mysql DB: mysql -h208.11.220.249 -uXXXXX -pXXXXX XXXXX

2.If you don't have permission for connecting to DB ,try creating user that has remote permission

GRANT ALL ON DB.* -- Database name TO user@ip -- client ip address IDENTIFIED BY 'pwd';

3.on the last check my.cnf . "bind-address" must be 0.0.0.0 If you want to connect all remote addresses.
