Connect to MySQL on Vagrant instance with Sequel Pro

Question

I am running Laravel on Vagrant and I am trying to connect Sequel Pro.

I have just started using Vagrant, I have followed a few tutorials on connecting to Sequel Pro how

Answer 1

All you need to do is edit the bind address located here:

$ sudo nano /etc/mysql/my.cnf

Find the bind_address setting which will be set to 127.0.0.0 and change it to 0.0.0.0

After that restart mySQL:

$ sudo service mysql restart

The final step is just updating permissions:

$ mysql -u root -proot -e "GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'root'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'root' WITH GRANT OPTION; FLUSH PRIVILEGES;"

Then connect as you normally would (changing port to what ever you set in your vagrant file).

Note there are security issues here since it's all pretty open but for dev work it's fine.
