I am running Debian 8.2 and the install is quite fresh. I try to connect to my MySQL server via SSH using Sequel Pro. I always get this error:
Lost connection to MySQL server at 'reading initial communication packet', system error: 0 When I run
mysql -u root -p on the server, everything works perfectly. But not from remote.
At first I thought it might be iptables, so I (temporarily) disabled all rules. iptables -L now returns:
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination Then I checked my.cnf, but all the parameters I could think of look correct:
[client] port = 3306 socket = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock [mysqld_safe] socket = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock nice = 0 [mysqld] user = mysql pid-file = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid socket = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock port = 3306 basedir = /usr datadir = /var/lib/mysql tmpdir = /tmp lc-messages-dir = /usr/share/mysql skip-external-locking bind-address = 127.0.0.1 The output of my mysql log files also looks ok

Note that SSH connects successfully but MySQL fails.
I am lost. Can anybody help?
