= Allow or prevent access from the network to the database server
== Allow access to the database from the network
To allow remote connections, you need to open the port 3306 on the firewall.
----
$ sudo firewall-cmd --add-service=mysql --permanent
$ sudo firewall-cmd --reload
----
In addition you have to grant rights to the user you want to use to connect to the database.
From the mysql shell, for example, grant all the privileges on the database _test_ to _my_user_ user connecting from the host _192.168.1.1_ using the password _PaSsWoRd_:
----
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON test.* TO 'my_user'@'192.168.1.1' IDENTIFIED BY 'PaSsWoRd';
----
== Limit the access to the database only from localhost
On the other hand, if you want to avoid to expose the database service on the network, edit the configuration file
* `/etc/my.cnf.d/mariadb-server.cnf` for MariaDB
* `/etc/my.cnf.d/community-mysql-server.cnf` for MySQL
* `/etc/my.cnf` for MySQL installed from the third party repository
and add/uncomment/modify this option in the `[mysqld]` section
----
bind-address=127.0.0.1
----
Restart the service (use `mysqld` in place of `mariadb` if it is the case)
----
$ sudo systemctl restart mariadb
----
Verify that the service is listening only on localhost (127.0.0.1). The output of this command:
----
$ ss -ntl |grep 3306
----
should look like:
----
LISTEN 0 80 127.0.0.1:3306 0.0.0.0:*

= Configuring MySQL
Enable the service at boot and start it right now
----
$ sudo systemctl enable mysqld --now
----
If you installed the package from the Fedora repository, the default root password is empty.
The package installed from the third party MySQL repository, generates instead a temporary root password. So you have to look which is this temporary password generated during the first startup in order to run the `mysql_secure_installation` script and to be able to set a custom root password.
----
$ sudo grep 'A temporary password is generated' /var/log/mysql/mysqld.log
----
Perform the initial setup:
----
$ sudo mysql_secure_installation
----
Some questions will be asked: answer to them as you prefer; answering _yes_ to all of them is perfectly fine.

= How To Allow Remote Access MYSQL/MariaDB/MYSQL Community
== Add New Rule to Firewalld
Open SQL port (3306) on FireWalld:
----
sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-service=mysql
----
## OR ##
----
sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-port=3306/tcp
----
== Restart firewalld.service
----
systemctl restart firewalld.service
----
== Editing Conf. Files:
Configuration files:
* MySql -> `/etc/my.cnf/`
* MySql Community -> `/etc/my.cnf.d/community-mysql-server.cnf`
* MariaDB -> `/etc/my.conf`
NOTE: you can ensure that with the following command `rpm -qc [package]`.
Navigate to the line that begins with the bind-address directive. It will look like this:
you could set this directive to a wildcard IP address, either *, ::, or 0.0.0.0:
----
bind-address = 0.0.0.0
----
After changing this line, save and close the file and then restart the MySQL service:
----
sudo systemctl restart {mysqld|mariadb}
----
== Creating a USER
----
CREATE USER 'your_username'@'host_ip_addr' IDENTIFIED BY 'your_password';
----
NOTE: Replace your_username and your_password depending on what you want the username and password to be. Here, host_ip_addr is the hostname or IP address of the computer from where you want to connect to the MySQL/MariaDB server. You can also use % as host_ip_addr if you want to connect from any computer. It can also be something like 192.168.2.% if you want to connect from computers from the IP range 192.168.2.1 192.168.2.254.
== Allow Access
----
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'your_username'@'%';
IDENTIFIED BY 'my-new-password' WITH GRANT OPTION;
----
#OR
It is common for people to want to create a "root" user that can connect from anywhere, so as an example, we'll do just that, but to improve on it we'll create
a root user that can connect from anywhere on the local area network (LAN)
----
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'root'@'192.168.100.%'
IDENTIFIED BY 'my-new-password' WITH GRANT OPTION;
----
----
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

== Connecting

== Installing MariaDB server from the Fedora Modular repository
To list the available versions (_streams_ in modularity terminology) of MariaDB:
----
dnf module list mariadb
----
To enable the version of MariaDB you want to use and make the stream RPMs available in the package set:
----
sudo dnf module enable mariadb:10.4
----
At this point you can verify that the available RPM provides the 10.4 verison of MariaDB server:
----
dnf list mariadb-server
----
To install mariadb server:
----
sudo dnf module install mariadb/server
----
With modules, you could also install a specific profile: like client, devel or galera (the multi-master replica).
For instance, if you don't want to install the server stuff, but only the client packages:
----
sudo dnf module install mariadb:10.4/client
----

== How To Troubleshoot Socket Errors in SQL
SQL manages connections to the database server through the use of a socket file, a special kind of file that facilitates communications between different processes. The MySQL servers socket file is named mysqld.sock and on Ubuntu systems its usually stored in the /var/run/mysqld/ directory. This file is created by the MySQL service automatically.
Sometimes, changes to your system or your SQL configuration can result in SQL being unable to read the socket file, preventing you from gaining access to your databases. The most common socket error looks like this:
----
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)
----
There are a few reasons why this error may occur, and a few potential ways to resolve it.
One common cause of this error is that the SQL service is stopped or did not start to begin with, meaning that it was unable to create the socket file in the first place. To find out if this is the reason youre seeing this error, try starting the service with _systemctl_:
----
sudo systemctl start {mysqld|mariadb}
----
Then try accessing the MySQL prompt again. If you still receive the socket error, double check the location where your MySQL installation is looking for the socket file. This information can be found in the `mysqld.cnf` file:
look for the socket parameter in the [mysqld] section of this file. It will look like this:
----
[mysqld]
user = mysql
pid-file = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid
socket = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
port = 3306
----
Close this file, then ensure that the mysqld.sock file exists by running an ls command on the directory where SQL expects to find it:
----
ls -a /var/run/mysqld/
----
If the socket file exists, you will see it in this commands output:
----
mysqld.pid mysqld.sock mysqld.sock.lock
----
if the file does not exist, the reason may be that MySQL is trying to create it, but does not have adequate permissions to do so. You can ensure that the correct permissions are in place by changing the directorys ownership to the mysql user and group:
----
sudo chown mysql:mysql /var/run/mysqld/
----
Then ensure that the mysql user has the appropriate permissions over the directory. Setting these to 775 will work in most cases:
----
sudo chmod -R 755 /var/run/mysqld/
----
Finally, restart the MySQL service so it can attempt to create the socket file again:
----
sudo systemctl restart {mysqld|mariadb}
----
Then try accessing the MySQL prompt once again. If you still encounter the socket error, theres likely a deeper issue with your MySQL instance, in which case you should review the error log to see if it can provide any clues.
