I'm trying to connect to a MySQL db remotely for about 10 hours with no luck.



The server is running Debian.



The my.cnf is configured correctly with bind-ip 0.0.0.0 and no skip-networking.



lsof -i :3306 shows an established connection from the connecting IP to the server, but then dies off.



When using tcpdump port 3306 and '(tcp-syn|tcp-ack)!=0' on server I get this when trying to connect to it:



10:55:44.195273 IP server2.xxx.xxx.mysql > xxx.xxx.12.89.53920: Flags [R], seq 1740903883, win 0, length 0



The user connecting is granted all access from %.



I don't know what more to do. The server is running ISPConfig with bastille firewall but even with it off nothing works. I am able to connect to the db locally and LAN addresses.



This is what I get when I'm trying to connect to the db server:



"ERROR 2013 (HY000): Lost connection to MySQL server at 'reading authorization packet', system error: 2 "No such file or directory"



my.cnf



skip_name_resolve is on



bind address commented



Any clues?

    Not possible. All programs return an exit code upon exit. Re-run the command, and follow it up with echo $?.

TCP networking is clearly working: you get a connection, and alternative connection tools such as nc also demonstrate this.



It is either MySQL blocking the incoming connection itself (likely) or your version has been compiled with TCP Wrappers and that is set to require Reverse DNS and maybe even forward/reverse matching.



The MySQL documentation B.5.2.5 Host 'host_name' is blocked explains that too many incomplete connections will cause the originating IP address to be blocked until mysqladm flush-hosts is run. Or you can login and execute FLUSH HOSTS.



To check the TCP Wrappers configuration you need to look at /etc.hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny.
