OperationalError: (OperationalError) (2003, "Can't connect to MySQL server on '192.168.129.139' (111)") None None

I am trying to create a remote database using mysql on an Ubuntu machine running 12.04.

It has a root user with remote login enabled and no password.I have started the server.

output of

sudo netstat -tap | grep mysql

shows

tcp        0      0 localhost:mysql         *:*                     LISTEN      13246/mysqld

I have created a database called nwtopology using (as mentioned root doesn't have a password yet.)

 create database nwtopology
 grant all privileges on *.* to [email protected]
 FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

From the client machine that also runs Ubuntu 12.04 I use a python script to connect to the remote mysql database using sqlalchemy.

from pox.core import core
import pox.openflow.libopenflow_01 as of
import re
import datetime
import time
from sqlalchemy import create_engine, ForeignKey
from sqlalchemy import Column, Date, Integer, String
from sqlalchemy.ext.declarative import declarative_base
from sqlalchemy.orm import relationship, backref
from sqlalchemy import create_engine
from sqlalchemy.orm import sessionmaker
from sqlalchemy.sql.expression import exists

log = core.getLogger()
engine = create_engine('mysql://[email protected]/nwtopology', echo=False)
Base = declarative_base()
Session = sessionmaker(bind=engine)
session = Session()

class SourcetoPort(Base):
    """"""
    __tablename__ = 'source_to_port'
    id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True)
    port_no        = Column(Integer)
    src_address    = Column(String,index=True)

    #-----------------------------------------
    def __init__(self, src_address,port_no):
        """"""
        self.src_address = src_address
        self.port_no     = port_no

The create_engine() call is failing with the following error.

I cannot figure out why this is happening?Any help is greatly appreciated?

How do I fix MySQL error code 2003?

The error (2003) Can't connect to MySQL server on ' server ' (10061) indicates that the network connection has been refused. You should check that there is a MySQL server running, that it has network connections enabled, and that the network port you specified is the one configured on the server.

How do I fix MySQL connection refused?

Check that the DB username, DB password, database host, and database port are correct. (if you are unsure, reach out to your database administrator or check in your web hosting account for the up to date credentials). If the config file references host = "localhost" , you can try to change it to 127.0.

Looks like the mysql server is configured to listen only on localhost.

You can test this by running telnet 192.168.129.139 3306 from your client machine.

Most probable reason - mysqld (=MySQL daemon) is configured to do so.

Please try to follow Configuration step described here:

Edit the /etc/mysql/my.cnf file to configure MySQL to listen for connections from network hosts, change the bind-address directive to the server's IP address. For example, in your case, replace 192.168.0.5 with 192.168.129.139.

From:

bind-address            = 192.168.0.5

to:

bind-address            = 192.168.129.139

If there is no such entry and you cannot connect, create a new line. You may also try commenting out the line instead.

After making a change to /etc/mysql/my.cnf the MySQL daemon will need to be restarted:

sudo systemctl restart mysql.service

Then test with telnet or by running your application once again. Also netstat would have second entry for mysqld.
