[Solved] MySQL Connect Error: Can’t connect to MySQL server on ‘ ‘(61)

There is an account TT that can’t connect to MySQL server on ‘< remote-ip>’ ( 61)

1. Check whether the user has remote login permission

mysql> SELECT User, Host FROM mysql.user;
+-----------+-----------+
| User      | Host      |
+-----------+-----------+
| tt        | %         |
| mysql.sys | localhost |
| root      | localhost |
| Laily     | %        |
| ttt       | %        |
+-----------+-----------+
5 rows in set (0.00 sec)

Obviously, TT is allowed to log in from other servers

2. Check whether MySQL server has monitored port 3306

[root@centos-linux ~]# netstat -tulpen
Active Internet connections (only servers)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address           Foreign Address         State       User       Inode      PID/Program name

tcp6       0      0 :::22                   :::*                    LISTEN      0          16803      1507/sshd

udp6       0      0 :::47875                :::*                                0          48851      22999/dhclient

I have no problem here. If I don’t monitor port 3306 or only monitor localhost (0.0.0.0 means monitor all), add the following line in My. CNF

bind-address = 0.0.0.0

3. If the server is centos7, add MySQL service to the firewall

[root@centos-linux ~]# sudo firewall-cmd --zone=public --permanent --add-service=mysql
success
[root@centos-linux ~]# sudo systemctl restart firewalld

After I restart the firewall, I can access it normally
