I am trying to setup mysql on ubuntu server 17.04 so i can access it remotely.
Currently it is up and running, i can access it locally or if i SSH in first, but when i try to connect using mysql -h <ip> -u <admin> -p on my linux mint machine.
It gives me ERROR 2013 (HY000): Lost connection to MySQL server at 'reading initial communication packet', system error: 104
Here is my /etc/mysql/my.cnf
[mysqld]
bind-address = 0.0.0.0
skip-name-resolve
I currently have my firewall off on both machines
my user is CREATE USER '<username>'@'%' AS IDENTIFIED BY '<Password>'
I have rebooted the server multiple times, restarted the service, havent gotten it to work yet.
I have also tried to connect using HeidiSQL on my windows machine, i get the same error.
Not sure what else to try
