Traccar Accessing Remote Database

Rabi Gurung5 years ago

My database resides on a server from GoDaddy and my Internet service provider is Shaw. And I have Traccar installed in my laptop.
When I try to start the Traccar service, I get the following error message. See tracker-server.log file belowbelow.
I recognize that the problem is with user credentials as my GoDaddy has an account called abcUser1 but Traccar is trying to login with username abcUser1@S01060018f8ed1a93.cg.shawcable.net

Any idea what is wrong here?

Btw I am using Traccar Version 4.6.

This is my traccar.xml file content

Most likely MySQL is not configured to allow your user remote access. This error message comes directly from the database driver:

Access denied for user 'abcUser1'@'S01060018f8ed1a93.cg.shawcable.net' (using password: YES)

Configured the Remote Access and it worked like a charm.
Thanks.

Hi,

I am having the same error. 

Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES) - CJException (... < DataManager:139 < *:89 < Context:292 < Main:110 < ...)

I am using DiData cloud but everything is running on the same VM.

I have also set the bind address of the MySQL server to 0.0.0.0 (essentially allowing remote connections) as well as then commenting out the whole bind address line but still nothing...

Any ideas?

The error is pretty clear. You need to fix user permissions.

Same error, and fixed following the official MariaDB documentation to Remote Client Access

Edit this file:
sudo nano /etc/mysql/my.cnf

Commenting this

 [mysqld]
    ...
    #skip-networking
    ...
    #bind-address = <some ip-address>
    ...

And adding at the bottom of the file this:

[mysqld]
skip-networking=0
skip-bind-address
