How to Grant MySQL Root Privileges for 127.0.0.1

Tutorial October 03, 2024

  • MySQL treats connections from localhost (via Unix socket) and 127.0.0.1 (via TCP/IP) as distinct connections. By default, the root user may only have privileges for localhost, causing an "Access Denied" error when trying to connect from 127.0.0.1.

This tutorial explains how to grant privileges to the MySQL root user for connections over TCP/IP (127.0.0.1). By following these steps, you can resolve access denied errors and ensure smooth connections to your MySQL database for both local development and remote applications.
