I've just installed a fresh ubuntu server with mysql (percona 5.5), but it refuses to accept connections from remote hosts
Here is what happens if I try to connect to this server remotely:
mysql -h10.0.0.2 -uroot -pmypassowrd
ERROR 2003 (HY000): Can't connect to MySQL server on '10.0.0.2' (111)
telnet 10.0.0.2 3306
Trying 10.0.0.2...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused
When I checked if mysql listens to remote connections I saw this:
sudo netstat -ntlup | grep mysql
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:3306 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 127018/mysqld
As you can see it says 127.0.0.1:3306 which means "I accept only local connections".
I checked my skip_networking and bind-address variables - everything is turned off:
mysql> show variables like '%skip_networking%';
+-----------------+-------+
| Variable_name | Value |
+-----------------+-------+
| skip_networking | OFF |
+-----------------+-------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
mysql> show variables like '%bind%';
Empty set (0.00 sec)
I have another server with absolutely the same config and it works great:
sudo netstat -ntlup | grep mysql
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:3306 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 2431/mysqld
What can be the reason for this? How do I make mysql respond to remote connections?
Number of processes
