title: How do I open up my MySQL on my Raspberry Pi for Outside / Remote Connections?
body: <p>I have a Raspberry Pi that stores temperature data for homebrewing activity. I am making a Spring MVC application on my computer and I want to tap the data. Both my Pi and my computer are on the local network. I can SSH and FTP into my RPi perfectly.</p>
  
  <pre><code>mysql --192.168.1.102 --u root -p db
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Causes a "Can't connect to MySQL server on '192.168.1.102'".</p>
  
  <p>My Java application isn't connecting either, obviously.</p>
  
  <pre><code>SHOW VARIABLES WHERE VARIABLE_NAME = 'port' ;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>returns the default port, 3306.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a setting that must be enabled to allow remote connections into MySQL?</p>
