I am trying to connect to my apache server remotly. I manged to allow my db and server to be accessed with my ip but when i try to test the connection to my db using the integrated netbeans connection tool i can only reach it using my localhost
I have tried to set the bind address in apache but that breaks my server and i need to reinstall it every time. I have also added full privilages to my user and can access it using a separate ip.

I found the answer
You allowed remote access for your Apache server but not for the MySQL server. To allow remote access for MySQL you need to modify the
my.cnf
