My Problem
I want to connect to mysql server using my personal computer but I have this error.
My Solution
Make sure your IP have access to database server
If you only see results with localhost and 127.0.0.1, you cannot connect from an external source. If you see other IP addresses, but not the one you’re connecting from – that’s also an indication.
You will need to add the IP address of each system that you want to grant access to, and then grant privileges:
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO ‘root’@‘ip_address’;
If you see %, well then, there’s another problem altogether as that is “any remote source”. If however you do want any/all systems to connect via root, use the % wildcard to grant access:
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO ‘root’@‘%’;
Finally, reload the permissions, and you should be able to have remote access:
