mysql configuration

[Chris Kottaridis]

I am running on a fedora 21 machine. I installed mysqld from RPM. I 
believe I have the 3306 port available thru the firewall and I used 
systemctl to get the daemon started and it seems to be up and running. I 
made no other configuration changes other then what the RPM installation 
did.

I am running in a vmware virtual host and it has 2 virtual ethernet 
cards attached, ens33 and ens37. I have assigned IP addresses accordingly:

ens33: 192.168.200.131
ens37: 192.168.223.63

The hostname is fed21.cjk.net.

In DNS fed21.cjk.net is assigned to 192.168.223.63.

I have no hostname assoicated with 192.168.200.131.

I noticed in the mysqld.log file:
-------------------------------------------------------
2015-05-01 07:07:22 1393 [Note] Server hostname (bind-address): '*';

2015-05-01 07:09:05 1393 [Note] Hostname 'fed21.cjk.net' has the 
following IP addresses:
2015-05-01 07:09:05 1393 [Note]  - 192.168.223.63
-----------------------------------------------------
Which as mentioned above the hostname is indeed mapped to 192.168.223.63 
and not 192.168.200.131.

When I try to run this script:
==============================================
#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use DBI;

# Connect to the database.
my $dbh = DBI->connect("DBI:mysql:database=test;host=127.0.0.1",
                        "joe", "joe's password",
                        {'RaiseError' => 1});

# Disconnect from the database.
$dbh->disconnect();

exit;
===============================================
$ ./nosrcapp.pl
DBI connect('database=test;host=127.0.0.1','joe',...) failed: Host 
'192.168.200.131' is not allowed to connect to this MySQL server at 
./nosrcapp.pl line 8.

You can see I get an error immediately from the mysqld server that it 
doesn't like 192.168.200.131, which is a little weird because I am 
accessing through 127.0.0.1. The script didn't even get a chance to send 
the login request. You can see if I telnet in the server immediately 
sends the message on connection:

$ telnet 127.0.0.1 3306
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to 127.0.0.1.
Escape character is '^]'.
HHost '192.168.200.131' is not allowed to connect to this MySQL 
serverConnection closed by foreign host.
$

I set wireshark to only look at the loopback interface and it shows:



While it seems weird that when sending to 127.0.0.1 the system uses a 
source address of 192.168.200.131 instead of 127.0.0.1, but seems to 
know to respond to 127.0.0.1, the only question I am interested in is:

What mysqld configuration am I missing that is not allowing 
192.168.200.131 access ?

Of secondary importance is if there is a way to tell mysqld to expect 
the hostname to be mapped to 192.168.223.63 instead of 192.168.200.31, 
but if that doesn't affect functionality then I am much less concerned 
about that.

This is a local environment so I have no cncerns about access and I 
essentially want any address to be able to access from either the 
192.168.200 network or 192.168.223 network as well as through the loopback.

What mysqld configuration am I missing ?
