MySQL – MySQL Create + Manage Users + Connect Remotely + Install

To connect remotely you have to have MySQL bind port: 3306 to your machines IP in my.cnf. Then you have to have created the user in both localhost and ‘%’ wildcard and grant permissions on all DB’s as such . See below:

my.cnf (my.ini on windows)

#Replace xxx with your IP Address 
bind-address        = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

yum -y install mariadb-server mariadb
systemctl start mariadb.service
systemctl enable mariadb.service

mysql_secure_installation

mysql -u root -p
mysql_secure_installation

SELECT User,Host FROM mysql.user;


CREATE USER 'myuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'mypass';
CREATE USER 'myuser'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'mypass';
Then

GRANT ALL ON *.* TO 'root'@'localhost';
GRANT ALL ON *.* TO 'root'@'%';
