Centralised Mysql DB - php

I need solution for Centralized DB.
We have DB in one Hosting server (Azure Redhat virtual server) and we need to use the same db in other hosting server too. So it will be centralized DB for both server. I can not use it in navicat also if I use IP of Mysql DB.
I have tried using ( bind-address= IP address of the server where db is hosted ) in My.cnf file but it doesn't allow remote access. to use it in other hosting server nor in any mysql client like navicat / Heidi sql.
Also I have added the port 3306 rule in azure server for inbound security.
Thanks in advance for help.

As Azure VMs disable ICMP and we can use SSH tunnels to allow outside access to internal network resources.
Please try to follow this post, created a SSH tunnel in VM which hosted the MySQL server:
Open port 3306, so a remote client can connect to your MySQL Server. Run the following command to open TCP port 3306
iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 3306 -j ACCEPT
Now let’s check if the port 3306 is open by running this command:
sudo netstat -anltp|grep :3306
Create a SSH tunnel for port 3307
sudo ssh -fNg -L 3307:127.0.0.1:3306 azurevmuser#servername
Create an endpoint for the port 3307 rule in azure server for inbound security. Now your Database host name is <VM_ip>:3307
Any further concern, please feel free to let me know.

Connecting to MySQL Server on Ubuntu not possible

I have set up a raspberry PI 4 with Ubuntu. Apache, PHP, mysql and phpmyadmin are installed and working fine. So when I am trying to connect from another network with my windows device over MySQL Workbench there is an error occuring.
error
Checked: port forwarding on port 80 is open. checked binding ip in mysqld.conf (maybe I made a mistake there) when I try to change the port in this configuration file to 80 and restart "sudo service mysql restart" this error occure "Job for mysql.service failed because the control process exited with error code"
So maybe mysql is not listening to port 80. I have checked sudo lsof -i :80. Only found records from apache listening to port 80.
I am trying for three days now to connect to the database.
Thank you for your help guys!
By default, mysql listens on port 3306, so if you are trying to connect directly to mysql, that could be the issue. Port 80 and 443 are for http/https respectively.
You can't set the port to port 80 because apache needs that port to listen for http requests.
Try setting the port back to 3306 on the mysql host machine and seeing if that works. You may also need to open that port on the host machine as well.

Remote MySQL Server not responding

I'm having issues connecting to my AWS EC2 Server holding a MySQL Server.
Here's my Response from mysqli_connect
p#xxx.com [~/app]# php checkmysqlremote.php
Error: Unable to connect to MySQL.
Debugging errno: 2002
Debugging error: Connection refused
Here's my netstat -tuplen on the EC2 Server containing the MySQL Server
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:3306 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 999 20299 1378/mysqld
As you can see its binding to the 0.0.0.0 address correctly.
I enabled the 3306 port in inbound rules for EC2.
on the server making the request handshake, I ran:
curl -s example.com:3306 >/dev/null && echo Success. || echo Fail.
which resulted in Fail.
I also ran it on the local server instance and it responded with Success.
I also ran nmap on the server making the handshake,
nmap -p 3306 example.com
Nmap scan report for example.com (1.1.1.1)
Host is up (0.048s latency).
PORT STATE SERVICE
3306/tcp filtered mysql
Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 2.03 seconds
Lastly, I tried adding the following rules in iptables:
iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -s "example.com" -p tcp --destination-port 3306 -j ACCEPT
and
sudo iptables -I INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 3306 -j ACCEPT
I don't know what to do at this point.
UPDATE
I tried pinging the EC2 server from the remote server and it did not return anything. At this point i think the issue is with EC2.
Try adding the follwing GRANT to your user:
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'user'#'ipadress'
Sounds like the port might not be getting forwarded correctly? One thing to try might be to put an Amazon Elastic Load Balancer in front of the instance. Then you can forward port 3306 for the MySQL connection.

Can't access MySQL remotely on my work development machine

Today I've been trying to access MySQL running on my remote work machine (Ubuntu), from my home machine (OSX), and I've had no success.
On my work machine, I've checked the following:
sudo netstat -ntlup | grep mysql
gives
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:3306 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 23692/mysqld
and nmap tells me
PORT STATE SERVICE
3306/tcp open mysql
and in /etc/mysql/my.cnf I've set bind-address = 0.0.0.0
I've also run the following iptables rules:
iptables -A INPUT -i lo -p tcp --dport 3306 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A OUTPUT -o lo -p tcp --sport 3306 -j ACCEPT
What else can I check?
If there is some corporate network rule blocking my MySQL access, what could I check to find this?
The only way I can make this work is ssh tunnelling:
ssh -L 8080:localhost:3306 my_user_name#my_dev_machine_IP
and then if I do
mysql -h 127.0.0.1 --port=8080 -u root -p
I can get in. If I close the ssh tunnel, then I can't log in via mysql, nor even via telnet remote_IP 3306.
But this is no good for what I want, because I need the PHP code running on my local machine to be able to access the remote database.
I've also (hopefully temporarily) opened up the access to the MySQL databases to all hosts/IP:
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'application_username'#'%'
FLUSH PRIVILEGES
Any advice gratefully received!
Ubuntu has uwf - in some vps installations it is enabled by default. So, if it is, do sudo ufw allow 3306. I am writing this jsut in case you run nmap from your work machine. If nmap shows that result run from your mac, then this does not apply.

No connection between SQL Server and Homepage Server

I've got a root server (Ubuntu 14.04) with a MYSQL (5.5.41) running and trying to access the database from two diffrent homepages on two diffrent server. The homepage servers use static ips.
I set up iptables on the root.
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 3306 -s 127.0.0.1 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 3306 -s 'my_homepage_ip' -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 3306 -j REJECT --reject-with icmp-port-unreachable
If I try to access the server from the two homepages I get:
Can't connect to MySQL server on 'server_ip' (111)2003.
The homepages are running on webspaces from some german provider called 1und1.
If I open the iptables and delete the reject line, everything works fine. Also I tried to access the SQL Server from my local computer which is running an XAMPP server with the same script as I use at the homepage server. This works fine.
Server('my_server') and Port (3306) are defined in my php script.
$db = new mysqli(DB_SERVER, DB_USER, DB_PASS, DB_NAME, DB_PORT);
I assume that I got wrong IPs of the homepage server or that the homepage server use an other port than 3306.
Try changing your 3rd line to iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 3306 -j LOG. This will log all attempts to the MySQL port to your /var/log/messages file, including the source IP address. This will allow you to verify that the source IP is the same as the IP being used for your website proper. If it is different, just change line 2 with the correct IP address.

Remote connection to MySQL Linux

I opened up ports on my server
(results of netstat -L)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State
tcp 0 0 *:mysql *:* LISTEN
...
but i can't connect to my server on that port via telnet, or remotely to my MySQL server. I am at my wit's end. How can I allow remote access on this port?
mysql -u -h 'my-server-ip' gives me an error that says '(HY000): Can't connect to MySQL server on 'my-server-ip' (10061)
Any help would be appreciated!
EDIT: SOLVED see my answer below
Are you sure you have the correct port open in iptables? MySQL usually listens on port 3306, but above you have port 3389 (which is usually used for RDP).
I rebooted my server and it worked :S
for any future readers, i opened up port 3306 on my firewall, inbound and outbound. then i commented out the binding_address line in my my.cnf file. i also granted access to remote users using phpmyadmin.
