Remote access to MySQL-server

Introduction

A MySQL server can accept incoming connections from specific IP addresses. By default every MySQL-server listens to local IP address 127.0.0.1, every MariaDB server accepts all connections (i.e. it listens 0.0.0.0). In ISPmanager Business 5.90.0 and later you can set up remote access.

 Note! This function is not available for  PostgreSQL

Navigate to Cluster settings → Cluster nodes → select a server with MySQL server role → click Edit. On the form that will open enable remote access, and select an IP address.

Note! For new installations, remote access will be disabled on a cluster node.  By default remote access to all cluster nodes with a MySQL database server role, is enabled (IP address will be set to 0.0.0.0).
