To connect to the MySQL database in the virtual machine, you need to follow these steps:

  1. Ensure that the virtual machine has started and that the MySQL database has been properly installed and configured.
  2. Start the MySQL service in the virtual machine. You can use the following command to start the MySQL service.
  3. Start the MySQL service using sudo.
  4. Edit the MySQL configuration file in the virtual machine to allow remote connections. Locate and edit the MySQL configuration file, usually found at /etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/mysqld.cnf or /etc/mysql/my.cnf. Find the bind-address line and comment it out or change it to the following:
  5. Set the binding address to 0.0.0.0.
  6. Restart the MySQL service to apply the configuration changes.
  7. Restart the MySQL service using the administrative command “sudo service mysql restart.”
  8. Open the command line terminal or MySQL client tool on your local computer.
  9. Connect to the MySQL database in the virtual machine using the following command:
  10. mysql -h virtual machine IP address -u username -p
  11. Among them, the virtual machine IP address is the IP address of the virtual machine, the username is the username of the MySQL database, and the -p option will prompt you to enter the password.
  12. After entering the password, you will successfully connect to the MySQL database in the virtual machine and be able to perform database operations.

Please note that for safety reasons, you may need to configure your virtual machine firewall to allow inbound connections for MySQL. The specific configuration method will depend on the virtual machine software and operating system you are using.
