1、先用localhost方式连接到MySQL数据库，然后使用MySQL自带的数据库mysql;
use mysql；
2、执行：select host from user where user = 'root'; 发现，host的值就是localhost。
所以将它的值改掉：update user set host='%' where user = 'root';
3、修改完成后，执行：flush privileges;
将修改内容生效，再次配置时，用IP地址或者localhost 就都能正常连接到MySQL数据库了。
操作如下：
mysql> use mysql
Reading table information for completion of table and column names
