I Can't Give Remote Access to MariaDB

Hello,

I have a project whose database resides on the server. To develop project on localhost, I need to grant access via Virtualmin, but I can’t!

I tried the following:
Webmin Tab > Servers > MariaDB Database Server > MariaDB Server Configuration > MariaDB server listening address > “any” selected > Save and Restart MariaDB
This didn’t work.

Then:
Virtualmin Tab > Selected the Related Domain > Edit Databases > Remote Hosts > There was only “localhost” and I added “%”. > Save

That didn’t work either. I cannot access remotely.
What else can I do?
How can I find out what is blocking it?

@th3ultra,

Have you created a firewall rule to allow access from remote server to port 3306?

Me too I need remote access to MySQL in a similar setup to yours.

I read and applied most of the related topics I found here without any success most of the topics are old and very few marked as resolved.

I hope someone would come up with a clear solution.

“localhost” and I added “%”. > Save

Maybe that should be %.%.%.%? Have you tried the remotes IP not wildcards.
