connecting to mysql server on another PC in LAN
I have mySQL setup in a PC on my local network, how do I connect to it? I also have mySQL installed in this computer (which I want to use to connect to the database).
I tried the following but it's not working
mysql -u user -h 192.168.1.28:3306 -p password
ERROR 2005 (HY000): Unknown MySQL server host '192.168.1.28:3306' (0)
EDIT:
Thanks for your help. Anyway, I connect without 3306 and I have another problem. MACBOOK is the name of my client computer.
mysql -u user -ppassword -h 192.168.1.28
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'user'@'MACBOOK' (using password: YES)
Thanks.

If you have a new question (and authentication problems are something different than connection problems), please research again and if you don't find an answer (which I heavily doubt), ask a new question. Also, please read one of the many beginners introductions into MySQL – which should answer your question right away.

That was a very useful question! Since we need to run the application with a centralized database, we should give the privileges to that computer in LAN to access the particular database hosted in LAN PC. Here is the solution for that!
- Go to MySQL server
- Type the following code to grant access for other pc
mysql > grant all privileges on . to 'root'@'%' identified by
'root_password'; mysql> flush privileges;
Replace ‘%’ with the IP you want to grant access for!

Its rather dangerous allowingroot
the SuperUser to be used from any ip in the universe. It would be better to create a new user account with access to only the database in question, and with only the minimum privilages to do what is required by the remote access.

Follow a simple checklist:
- Try pinging the machine
ping 192.168.1.2
- Ensure MySQL is running on the specified port
3306
i.e. it has not been modified. - Ensure that the other PC is not blocking inbound connections on that port. If it is, add a firewall exception to allow connections on port
3306
and allow inbound connections in general. - It would be nice if you could post the exact error as it is displayed when you attempt to make that connection.

Since you have mysql on your local computer, you do not need to bother with the IP address of the machine. Just use localhost:
mysql -u user -p
or
mysql -hlocalhost -u user -p
If you cannot login with this, you must find out what usernames (user@host) exist in the MySQL Server locallly. Here is what you do:
Step 01) Startup mysql so that no passwords are require no passwords and denies TCP/IP connections
service mysql restart --skip-grant-tables --skip-networking
Keep in mind that standard SQL for adding users, granting and revoking privs are disabled.
Step 02) Show users and hosts
select concat(''',user,'''@''',host,'''') userhost,password from mysql.user;
Step 03) Check your password to make sure it works
select user,host from mysql.user where password=password('YourMySQLPassword');
If your password produces no output for this query, you have a bad password.
If your password produces output for this query, look at the users and hosts. If your host value is '%', your should be able to connect from anywhere. If your host is 'localhost', you should be able to connect locally.
Make user you have 'root'@'localhost' defined.
Once you have done what is needed, just restart mysql normally
service mysql restart
If you are able to connect successfully on the macbook, run this query:
SELECT USER(),CURRENT_USER();
USER() reports how you attempted to authenticate in MySQL
CURRENT_USER() reports how you were allowed to authenticate in MySQL
Let us know what happens !!!
UPDATE 2012-02-13 20:47 EDT
Login to the remote server and repeat Step 1-3
See if any user allows remote access (i.e, host in mysql.user is '%'). If you do not, then add 'user'@'%' to mysql.user.

I do have mysql in my localhost, but I want to connect to mysql on the other PC.

mysql -u user -h 192.168.1.2 -p
This should be enough for connection to MySQL server.
Please, check the firewall of 192.168.1.2
if remote connection to MySQL server is enabled.

Connecting to any mysql database should be like this:
$mysql -h hostname -Pportnumber -u username -p
(then enter)
Then it will ask for password. Note: Port number should be closer to -P or it will show error. Make sure you know what is your mysql port. Default is 3306 and is optional to specify the port in this case. If its anything else you need to mention port number with -P or else it will show error.
For example:
$mysql -h 10.20.40.5 -P3306 -u root -p
(then enter)
Password:My_Db_Password
Gubrish about product you using.
mysql>_
Note: If you are trying to connect a db at different location make sure you can ping to that server/computer.
$ping 10.20.40.5
It should return TTL with time you got back PONG.
If it says destination unreachable then you cannot connect to remote mysql no matter what.
In such case contact your Network Administrator or Check your cable connection to your computer till the end of your target computer. Or check if you got LAN/WAN/MAN or internet/intranet/extranet working.

actually you shouldn't specify port in the host name. Mysql has special option for port (if port differs from default)
kind of
mysql --host=192.168.1.2 --port=3306
add a comment |
You don't have to specify ':3306' after the IP, it's the default port for MySQL.
And if your MySQL server runs with another port than 3306, then you have to add '-P [port]' instead of adding it to the IP address.
The MySQL client won't recognize the syntax "host:port", you HAVE to use -P [port] instead.
And btw, if you use '-p password', it won't work and will ask you the password again. You have to stick the password to the -p : -ppassword. (still, it's a very bad habit, because anyone that could do a PS on your server could see the plain password...)
add a comment |
You should use this:
>mysql -u user -h 192.168.1.2 -P 3306 -ppassword
or this:
>mysql -u user -h 192.168.1.2 -ppassword
...because 3306 is a default port number.

Users who can Install MySQL Workbench
on MySQL Server
Machine
If you use or have MySQL Workbench on the MySQL Server PC you can do this with just a few clicks. Recommend only for development environment.
- Connect to MySQL Server
- Find this option
Users and Privileges
fromNavigator
and click on it.
- Select
root
user and change value forLimit to Hosts Matching
to%
.
- The click
Apply
at the bottom.
This should enable root user to access MySQL Server from remote machine.

Follow a simple checklist:
- Try pinging the machine
ping 192.168.1.2
- Ensure MySQL is running on the specified port
3306
i.e. it has not been modified. - Ensure that the other PC is not blocking inbound connections on that port. If it is, add a firewall exception to allow connections on port
3306
and allow inbound connections in general. - It would be nice if you could post the exact error as it is displayed when you attempt to make that connection.

Since you have mysql on your local computer, you do not need to bother with the IP address of the machine. Just use localhost:
mysql -u user -p
or
mysql -hlocalhost -u user -p
If you cannot login with this, you must find out what usernames (user@host) exist in the MySQL Server locallly. Here is what you do:
Step 01) Startup mysql so that no passwords are require no passwords and denies TCP/IP connections
service mysql restart --skip-grant-tables --skip-networking
Keep in mind that standard SQL for adding users, granting and revoking privs are disabled.
Step 02) Show users and hosts
select concat(''',user,'''@''',host,'''') userhost,password from mysql.user;
Step 03) Check your password to make sure it works
select user,host from mysql.user where password=password('YourMySQLPassword');
If your password produces no output for this query, you have a bad password.
If your password produces output for this query, look at the users and hosts. If your host value is '%', your should be able to connect from anywhere. If your host is 'localhost', you should be able to connect locally.
Make user you have 'root'@'localhost' defined.
Once you have done what is needed, just restart mysql normally
service mysql restart
If you are able to connect successfully on the macbook, run this query:
SELECT USER(),CURRENT_USER();
USER() reports how you attempted to authenticate in MySQL
CURRENT_USER() reports how you were allowed to authenticate in MySQL
Let us know what happens !!!
UPDATE 2012-02-13 20:47 EDT
Login to the remote server and repeat Step 1-3
See if any user allows remote access (i.e, host in mysql.user is '%'). If you do not, then add 'user'@'%' to mysql.user.

mysql -u user -h 192.168.1.2 -p
This should be enough for connection to MySQL server.
Please, check the firewall of 192.168.1.2
if remote connection to MySQL server is enabled.

Connecting to any mysql database should be like this:
$mysql -h hostname -Pportnumber -u username -p
(then enter)
Then it will ask for password. Note: Port number should be closer to -P or it will show error. Make sure you know what is your mysql port. Default is 3306 and is optional to specify the port in this case. If its anything else you need to mention port number with -P or else it will show error.
For example:
$mysql -h 10.20.40.5 -P3306 -u root -p
(then enter)
Password:My_Db_Password
Gubrish about product you using.
mysql>_
Note: If you are trying to connect a db at different location make sure you can ping to that server/computer.
$ping 10.20.40.5
It should return TTL with time you got back PONG.
If it says destination unreachable then you cannot connect to remote mysql no matter what.
In such case contact your Network Administrator or Check your cable connection to your computer till the end of your target computer. Or check if you got LAN/WAN/MAN or internet/intranet/extranet working.

actually you shouldn't specify port in the host name. Mysql has special option for port (if port differs from default)
kind of
mysql --host=192.168.1.2 --port=3306

You don't have to specify ':3306' after the IP, it's the default port for MySQL.
And if your MySQL server runs with another port than 3306, then you have to add '-P [port]' instead of adding it to the IP address.
The MySQL client won't recognize the syntax "host:port", you HAVE to use -P [port] instead.
And btw, if you use '-p password', it won't work and will ask you the password again. You have to stick the password to the -p : -ppassword. (still, it's a very bad habit, because anyone that could do a PS on your server could see the plain password...)

You should use this:
>mysql -u user -h 192.168.1.2 -P 3306 -ppassword
or this:
>mysql -u user -h 192.168.1.2 -ppassword
...because 3306 is a default port number.

- Connect to MySQL Server
- Find this option
Users and Privileges
fromNavigator
and click on it.
- Select

If you have a new question (and authentication problems are something different than connection problems), please research again and if you don't find an answer (which I heavily doubt), ask a new question. Also, please read one of the many beginners introductions into MySQL – which should answer your question right away.

Is this a duplicate of this: stackoverflow.com/questions/14779104/… Because you need to open your MySQL server to the outside by editing the CNF file, as described in this answer.
