  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

Remote database connection doesn't work anymore

Johannes P.

New Pleskian
Hello,

i recently added a ssl certificate to my server, made it the default certificate in plesk and use it to secure connections with plesk. I also changed the hostname to match my RDNS entry.

Since then remote database connections don't work anymore, despite the settings being set to "allow remote connetions from any host". I couldn't find anything about this issue in the mysql-logs located in "/var/log/".
Has anyone experienced something similar before? What could be the cause of the problem?

Thank you
Johannes

P.S.: some additional information:

1) "netstat -lntp" shows the following:

2) bind-address in "/etc/mysql/my.cnf" is "127.0.0.1"

3) Firewall Rule for MySQL as shown in "Tools & Settings" -> "Firewall"

Your config only allows mysqld to listen on localhost. In /etc/msyql/my.cnf change the bind-address=* to listen on all interfaces. Restart msyqld.
