How we fix MySQL error 1130?

Till now, we discussed the reasons for this error to occur. Now, let’s see how our Support Engineers fix this error for our customers.

Recently, one of our customers approached us with the same error message.

Allow access permission to the IP-Address of the client.

Basically, this means we are allowing permission to specific IP addresses to access the MYSQL server.

For this, we run the below command to grant the permissions to the database.

grant all on db.* to 'username'@'192.168.0.1';

Finally, this fixed the error message.

Allow users from any network.

To allow users from any network, we perform the below steps.

Initially, we access the configuration file which is located in the path /etc/mysql/my.cnf.

vi /etc/mysql/my.cnf

Then we comment the below lines within the configuration file

#bind-address = 127.0.0.1
#skip-networking

Then we restart the MySQL server

service mysql restart

Finally, we login to MySQL and change the grant privileges. For that, we run the below command.

GRANT ALL ON *.* to root@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'root_password';

Also, we ensure that the customers MySQL port 3306 is opened which is the default port of MySQL Database Server.

This resolves the error effectively.
