grant remote access of MySQL database from any IP address

Question

I am aware of this command:

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES
ON database.*
TO \'user\'@\'yourremotehost\'
IDENTIFIED BY \'newpassword\';

But then it on

Answer 1

what worked for on Ubuntu is granting all privileges to the user:

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'root'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'yourpassword' WITH GRANT OPTION;

and setting the bind address in /etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/mysqld.cnf:

bind-address            = 0.0.0.0

then restarting the mysql daemon:

service mysql restart
