1.2. Configuration

You can edit the /etc/mysql/my.cnf file to configure the basic settings -- log file, port number, etc. For example, to configure MySQL to listen for connections from network hosts, change the bind-address directive to the server's IP address:

bind-address = 192.168.0.5

Replace 192.168.0.5 with the appropriate address.

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

sudo systemctl restart mysql.service
