I have a mysql server running on x.x.x.x, and can access it internally no problem (of course). However when attempting to connect externally, ie using mysql workbench, or even from an external server, I get the error message “Host ‘bla.bla.bla’ is not allowed to connect to this MySQL server”.
I have done:
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO mysql@x.x.x.x IDENTIFIED BY "somepass"; Is there another fundamental security issue I am missing?
You need to do
The part after the
@is the host from which the connection is coming, so you have allowed only connections coming from localhost. You need to allow access from each remote host necessary (or all hosts –... mysql@'%' ...– if applicable).
