# Database Server remote access BUG

**Project:** Servers | **Board:** Closed | **Votes:** 1
**URL:** https://roadmap.ploi.io/projects/1-server-level-requests/items/282-database-server-remote-access-bug

---

Steps to reproduce:

- Create a Database Server
- Setup remote connection user
- "Edit database configuration" feature , set the bind-address like it's described during enabling the remote access
- Database Server is still refusing remote connections completely

After a while I figured out that changing bind-address has no effect at all, since 50-server.cnf is overwriting this value in /etc/mysql/mariadb.conf.d

I don't get how noone among your users are recognizing these bugs, and I have to figure out in my free time :(

I'm missing the step to open up your firewall?

I opened.
I described what is causing this bug.

“50-server.cnf is overwriting this value in /etc/mysql/mariadb.conf.d“

Did you also submit this in our discord by any chance?

Yes, sorry, it’s not clear which is the primary channel to communicate these things
