Can't connect to MySQL server error 111

It probably means that your MySQL server is only listening the localhost interface.

If you have lines like this :

bind-address = 127.0.0.1

In your my.cnf configuration file, you should comment them (add a # at the beginning of the lines), and restart MySQL.

sudo service mysql restart

Of course, to do this, you must be the administrator of the server.

111 means connection refused, which in turn means that your mysqld only listens to the localhost interface.

To alter it you may want to look at the bind-address value in the mysqld section of your my.cnf file.

If all the previous answers didn't give any solution, you should check your user privileges.

If you could login as root to mysql then you should add this:

CREATE USER 'root'@'192.168.1.100' IDENTIFIED BY  '***';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON * . * TO  'root'@'192.168.1.100' IDENTIFIED BY  '***' WITH GRANT OPTION MAX_QUERIES_PER_HOUR 0 MAX_CONNECTIONS_PER_HOUR 0 MAX_UPDATES_PER_HOUR 0 MAX_USER_CONNECTIONS 0 ;

Then try to connect again using mysql -ubeer -pbeer -h192.168.1.100. It should work.
