Linux – How to bind MySQL server to more than one IP address

configurationiplinuxMySQL

Is there a secret way to bind MySQL to more than one IP address?

As far as I can see the bind-address parameter in the my.cnf does not support more than one IP and you can't have it more than once.

Best Answer

No, there isn't (I just checked 1 hour ago). You can comment the bind-address in my.cnf:

Note: « 1 hour ago » is now more than 10 years ago.

#skip-networking
#bind-address                   = 127.0.0.1

If you want only 2 IPs, you will then have to use a firewall.

For MySql version 8.0.13 and above, you can specify a list of comma-separated IP addresses.

bind-address = 10.0.0.1,10.0.1.1,10.0.2.1

Relevant MySql documentation.

Remember to restart your MySQL instance after changing the config file.
