I recently installed HestiaCP and was looking at older posts, but maybe I misread them. I setup a MySQL database and wanted to use it via 3rd party app (like Navicat), I opened up the port, but no luck.
My other question is: how do I access mysql as root user? The posts I found send me to dir I do not have. Weirdly enough. Ty in advance!
You will find a file having the name .my.cnf under the /root. The login details are inserted in there. This will help you create a root connection, changing root password, etc.
