Clarification about accessing database from other workstation

[sukatoa]

I doubt if this is the right section to post...

But, for a clarification

I always use "jdbc:mysql ://localhost:3306/dbname" to access the mysql database server given also the username and the password

But, i would like to access that db server from another workstation,
I replace "localhost" to an ip address and added a grant privileges before accessing.... and i cant...

I can't trace what's lacking with the setup...
OS: Ubuntu

I need help, could somebody here?

Hey.

MySQL servers on Ubuntu are, by default, set to ignore all connections other than those from localhost.

To fix this you need to alter the bind-address directive in the my.cnf file.
See Ubuntu Server Guide > Databases > MySQL
