How to set up MySQL to allow extranet access

MySQL root account, I usually use the connection is localhost or 127.0.0.1, the company's test server mysql is also localhost so I want access to inaccessible, test paused.

Workaround:

1, modify the table, login to the MySQL database, switch to the MySQL database, use SQL statements to view "select Host,user from User;"

Mysql-u root-pvmwaremysql>use MySQL;

Mysql>update User Set host = '% ' where user = ' root ';

Mysql>select host, user from user;

Mysql>flush privileges;

Note: The last sentence is important in order for the changes to take effect. If it is not written, you still cannot connect remotely.

2, authorized user, you want root to use password to connect to MySQL server from any host

Grant all privileges in *.* to ' root ' @ '% ' identified by ' admin123 ' with Grant OPTION;

Flush privileges;

If you want to allow the user root to connect to the MySQL server from the IP-192.168.1.104 host

Grant all privileges in *.* to ' myuser ' @ ' 192.168.1.104 ' identified by ' admin123 ' with GRANT OPTION;

Flush privileges;
