I then install the exact same Ubuntu 16.04 OS on my same machine. This time, not as a VM but as the native OS. I run the exact same script, under the same Ubuntu OS with no modifications at all and I get the dreaded MySQL: 'SQLSTATEHY000 1130 Host '172.20.0.3' is not allowed to connect to this MySQL server' during migration. Nov 23 16:50:13 centos-aws-mysql systemd1: Starting MySQL 8.0 database server. Nov 23 16:50:14 centos-aws-mysql systemd1: Started MySQL 8.0 database server. Step 3 – Securing MySQL 8 server. All you need to do is type the following command, and it will secure MySQL 8 server installation on CentOS Linux: $ sudo mysqlsecureinstallation.
- Nov 07 15:44:00 debian-aws-mysql systemd1: Started MySQL Community Server. Step 4 – Starting and stopping the MySQL server. We can control the MySQL server on Debian Linux using the CLI: Let us start the server if not running: $ sudo systemctl start mysql.service Stop the MySQL server, enter: $ sudo systemctl stop mysql.service.
- The official host name you should use for connecting to your account's MySQL database instance has changed from mysql.server to yourusername.mysql.pythonanywhere-services.com. This bypasses a part of our infrastructure that has started showing problems in recent weeks, and it should be much more efficient and reliable than the old way.
- A trailing zone ID is not permitted, as in fe80::3%1 or fe80::3%eth0. A trailing network mask is not permitted, as in 2001:45f:3:ba::/64 or 198.51.100.0/24. For values representing IPv4 addresses, only classless addresses are supported.

EOL of MySQL Query Browser, MySQL Administrator, MySQL Migration Toolkit
With the beta releases of MySQL Workbench 5.2 well under way, we are announcing the EOL of the MySQL GUI Tools Bundle.
The MySQL Tools team has been working on MySQL Workbench 5.2 to give DBAs and developers an integrated tools environment for:
- Database Design & Modeling
- SQL Development (replacing MySQL Query Browser)
- Database Administration (replacing MySQL Administrator)
MySQL Workbench 5.2 also provides:
- Remote Administration (using SSH-Tunneling)
- Python scripting and plugins
- Native GUI for Windows, Mac, Linux
A future release of MySQL Workbench (post 5.2) will add a migration plugin, providing features comparable to the MySQL Migration Toolkit component of the MySQL GUI Tools Bundle. The MySQL Support team will continue to provide technical assistance for MySQL Migration Toolkit until such migration support functionality is released in MySQL Workbench, but no new development or bug fixes will be provided against the existing MySQL Migration Toolkit product.
MySQL Support will continue to answer questions and provide assistance related to MySQL GUI Tools Bundle, as well as assist our customers in upgrading from those tools to MySQL Workbench 5.2 until June 30, 2010.
Starting Dec 18, 2009, MySQL will no longer accept bug reports submitted against the MySQL GUI Tools Bundle, and existing bug reports against these tools will no longer be worked on. Users should instead download, use, and submit bug reports (where necessary) against MySQL Workbench. Downloads of the MySQL GUI Tools Bundle will remain available, but will be moved into the MySQL Archives location.
Users should begin planning to upgrade to MySQL Workbench 5.2 GA.
