ubuntu 16.04 mysql 5.6 创建新用户并开启远程登录

In order to connect remotely you have to have MySQL bind port: 3306 to your machines IP in /etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/mysqld.cnf Then you have to have created the user in both localhost and '%' wildcard and grant permissions on all DB's as such . See below:

Replace xxx with your IP Address （normally 0.0.0.0）

bind-address= xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

then

CREATE USER 'myuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'mypass';
CREATE USER 'myuser'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'mypass';

Then

GRANT ALL ON *.* TO 'myuser'@'localhost';
GRANT ALL ON *.* TO 'myuser'@'%';

Depending on your OS you may have to open port 3306 to allow remote connections.

restart mysql service:

sudo systemctl restart mysql
