How to Activate Plesk Panel Remote MYSQL

On your Linux Plesk installed server, the Remote MySQL connection is disabled.
After the process, you can make a remote mysql connection to your Linux Plesk server.

Remote MYSQL has both advantages and disadvantages.
As a disadvantage, it may pose a security risk since remote connection is open.

First, let's log in as root via SSH.

nano /etc/my.cnf

After opening mysql config file with

#bind-address = 0.0.0.0

Let's delete the # symbol at the beginning.

bind-address = 0.0.0.0

You can do it this way. After the process, we open remote mysql access with service mysqld restart.
