How to connect remotely to a MySQL server in a Ubuntu Instance?

Sebastián Águila MontecinoJun 26 2024 — edited Jun 26 2024

I'm running a mysql server in my Ubuntu instance. I'm trying to connect remotely to it with no success.

In ubuntu I downloaded MySQL 5.7, created an user with all permissions granted and allowed to connect from any origin. Then I changed the bind-address to 0.0.0.0 and restarted the mysql server to load the changes. Finally I went to the subnet settings and allowed connection from any origin to the port MySQL is running, but I'm getting connection rejected every time I try to connect.

Checking on the internet seems like I have wrong setting in the oracle panel, but I don't really know to be honest.

Running “ss -tulpen” gives me the following about MySQL:

tcp LISTEN 0 80 0.0.0.0:5001 0.0.0.0:* uid:111 ino:134313 sk:d cgroup:/system.slice/mysql.service <->

Which if I understand well means it's listening to remote connections on the port 5001.

The error I'm getting when I connect to MySQL is: “ERROR 2003 (HY000): Can't connect to MySQL server on 'My IP' (61)”

If anyone knows how to solve this I'd greatly appreciate it.
