title: Raspberry Pi MySQL Remote Connection (error: 10061)
body: <p>I'm trying to connect to a MySQL server running on my Raspberry Pi 3 remotely (though on the same LAN).</p>
  
  <p>Attempting to do so through HeidiSQL returns an error coded 10061. A bit of research suggests I have to edit the config to allow remote connections.</p>
  
  <p>The config, however, does not contain a <code>bind-adress x.x.x.x</code> line (/etc/mysql/my.cnf) for my to comment out. Added it myself breaks the service, causing errors when trying to restart it.
  Checking other possible config file locations resulted in only empty files.
  Additionally, comparing to the "default" config file, mine is a lot shorter, and has no actual statements, other than a few includes for other config files (it seems). These included files are all empty as well.</p>
  
  <p>I'm now lost, and cannot figure out how to allow remote connections to my server. Any help is much appreciated :)</p>
