Two Methods for setting MySQL remote connection

The following articles mainly describe the two solutions for implementing MySQL remote connection and the actual operation procedures of the two solutions, if the web and database you are using are not on the same server, then the MySQL server needs to allow remote connections for the website to run properly.

There are two ways to set the remote connection for MySQL:

MySQL remote connection settings 1. Change the table.

It may be that your account is not allowed to log on remotely, but only on localhost. At this time, you only need to log on to MySQL on the localhost computer and change the "host" entry in the "user" table in the "MySQL" database,

Rename "%" from "localhost"

 
 

  
  
MySQL -u root -pvmwaremysql>use mysql;mysql>update user set host = 
'%' where user = 'root';mysql>select host, user from user; 
 
 

MySQL remote connection settings 2. Authorization method.

For example, if you want myuser to use mypassword to connect to the mysql server from any host.

 
 

  
  
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'myuser'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'mypassword' WITH GRANT OPTION; 
 
 

If you want to allow myuser to connect to the mysql server from a host whose ip address is 192.168.1.3, and use mypassword as the password

 
 

  
  
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'myuser'@'192.168.1.3' IDENTIFIED BY 'mypassword' WITH GRANT OPTION;  
 
 

If the web and database are not on the same server, the MySQL server must allow remote connections to run the website properly.

The above content is an introduction to MySQL remote connection settings in two ways. I hope you will get some benefits.
