Resolved Port 3306 closed since MariaDB 10.2 update

[Laurent Gleizes]

Hi everyone,

Since I've upgrade MariaDB from 10.1 to 10.2, I can no longer access databases remotely.

I've followed this article :  How to upgrade MySQL 5.5 to 5.6/5.7 or MariaDB 5.5 to 10.0/10.1/10.2/10.3 on Linux?

Firewall is ok. 3306 is open. Even when I stop firewall, 3306 cannot be reached.

I've noticed the following checkbox do not remain checked after validating.
(in English : Allow local MySQL server to accept external connections)

I found the solution.

Using Debian, Plesk documentation say to modify the following file : /etc/mysql/my.cnf.

Instead, for MariaDB, the file to check is : /etc/mysql/mariadb.conf.d/50-server.cnf.

I updated the line :

bind-address = 127.0.0.1

to this one :

bind-address = 0.0.0.0

and finally :

service mariadb restart

Hope it may helps someone.

Please make sure you are using Strong or Very Strong passwords(prefer) for all the DB users on this server as Plesk Fail2ban doesn't covered DB users.
