MySQL Workbench Failing to Connect to Server (Windows) - mysql

There are many errors I have found across the web that deal with MySQL connection errors, but I have found none that address this specific problem that I am having. In short, I have the newest version of the MySQL Server installed (8.0), I have verified it is running in my Services tab, and I can connect to the server via the MySQL client just fine. However, I cannot open a local connection in Workbench.
When I click on the local instance, it hangs until I manually stop it. I then get the aforementioned error
I then went and ran a diagnostic of the server in the MySQL Installer, which reported that everything is working fine (unless I am reading it wrong)
The logs of said diagnostic also report that the server is installed, functional, and running.
I then checked made sure the server was running in Services
After that, I verified that I could connect to the client, and that I could use the database I was working with (info redacted due to it being company property lol)
Additionally, I also made a new connection on Workbench on port 3307 instead of the standard 3306.
When I click on this, I can enter into the connection without getting the "Cannot access a disposed object" error. However, this connection still cannot connect to the server.
I also saw that some people were having success by navigating into C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 8.0\bin and running mysqld --install. This appeared to be beneficial, but ended up doing nothing.
Does anyone know how I can fix this without completely uninstalling everything? Everything was working fine yesterday but has suddenly stopped as of this morning.

Cannot connect to MySQL on server - #1130

There have been a number of questions on this topic on Stackoverflow but not exactly my situation.
I have a MySQL server installed on my PC, which was working fine. We used to have a peer-to-peer network in the office. My PC was just named "MY-PC". Some change occurred to the network and my PC is now connected to a "proper" network, and the name of the PC has changed to "MY-PC.mycompanywebsite.co.uk".
Now every time I try to connect to MySQL it gives me the error:
#1130 - Host 'My-PC.mycompanywebsite.co.uk' is not allowed to connect to this MySQL server
I can't log in using the command line tool or anything. Is there a config file setting I need to change to get this working?
By the way, this is a version of MySQL which came in an installation of WAMPServer, so I did not configure it myself.

MYSQL Workbench connection attempt failed

I am using MYSQL Workbench.
When I tried to open my local instance of mysql, this error message pops up.
Your connection attempt failed for user 'root' from your host to server at localhost3306:
Can't create TCP/IP socket(10107)
It was fine yesterday. And I did not change any setting before.
I suspected that the mysql service has stopped. However, when I checked, it is started. But i restarted it anyway. Nothing changes. Restarted the pc too, nothing's changed.
FYI, I'm running Windows 8.1 64-bits.
Please help me.
Thanks in advance.
Sorry for the poor english.
This may be because your sql server is not running. If you have not installed the sql server get it downloaded and installed using the sql installer.
If you have already installed the sqlserver and facing this issue goto start search for services, in services check whether sqlserver is running if not enable it.

phpmyadmin Error #2003 the server is not responding

after battling my way through every error message to try and get phpmyadmin running I am finally stumped by the last message. #2003 - The server is not responding. I think I know that its a problem between phpmyadmin and my installation of MySQL but I just cant find the hook.
I have already set the socket in the config.inc.php. I don't care if it works remotely i just need it to run locally for now. MySQL client connects just fine. I can do stuff from the command line so I know MySQL is configured and running. running typical LAMP stack CentOS 7 and mariadb. MySQL port is 3306
socket=/var/lib/MySQL/MySQL.sock (the stackoverflow web form keeps changing the case of MySQL so I am aware of the case sensitivity)
the main login page comes up fine but gives the 2003 error after typing in password. I know the correct password and I am typing it in correctly.
any help appreciated.

MySQL Workbench: "Can't connect to MySQL server on 127.0.0.1' (10061)" error

I apologise.. I know this question has been asked many times before, but I've tried lots of suggestions, and simply can't find a solution.
The problem: I have a MySQL database running on a hosted server.
I have to use SSH to connect to it, and I have the relevant Public and Private Key files.
I specifically want to use the PC version of MySQL Workbench, to access this database, for running queries, checking data, etc.
If I run Sequel Pro on a Mac, it connects fine, and I can browse and query the database. No problems.
If I run the trial version of SQLyog on a PC, it also connects fine. No problems.
But if I try to connect use MySQL's own "MySQL Workbench" application, using exactly the same settings and SSH Private Key file, it refuses to connect, throwing the well-known error:
Can't connect to MySQL server on 127.0.0.1' (10061)
I find it frustrating, as, in SQL Workbench, I specified the "MySQL Hostname" to use, db01.mysql.vm.MyHostingServer.net, but Workbench seems to ignore it, and demand to connect to 127.0.0.1 instead.
(I have read that Workbench says it needs the Public key file, but actually means the Private key file... and I have tried with both. I've also tried with MySQL Workbench on a Mac, but that crashed all over the place, simply when I was typing in server names and passwords.. it was a mess !!)
The hosting service I've gone with gives me limited permissions for changing MySQL settings, and given that Sequel Pro and SQLyog can connect successfully, I don't want to start messing about and changing things randomly.
Any ideas...?
Maybe you are not allowed to start the service "MySQL 55". Set the login information of Service "MySQL 55" as local!
To see the list of aviable services in Windows 7:
Open a run box
Type services.msc and press return.
Find the service MySQL55
A right click of the MySQL55 Local Service shows Properties -> Log On
Even I had same problem, The reason was mysql service was not getting configured properly, when I installed it through 'MySQL installer'. Also it was not starting, when I tried to start the service manually.
So in my case it seemed be a Bug with the 'MySQL Installer', as editing the install path to a different one when the 'Developer default' was selected, the problem occurs.
Solution (Not exactly a solution):
Uninstalled the MySQL all products (completely)
Reinstalled, this time also I have selected 'Developer default', but didn't make any changes to the path or any thing. So the path was just 'C:\Program Files\MySQL' (the default one)
And just clicked Next Next...
Done, this time MySql was running fine.
After making above improvement such as checking if mysql service is running or not, you just need to give a small password while creating connection, it is ' ' or 1 time press on space-bar in case of GUI or workbench. After which you just need to validate your machine with server (validated HOST). For that purpose click on 'New Server Instance' and it will configure server/HOST on your behalf itself.
I have done this successfully just a few couple of minutes ago. My workbench software is able to show all pre-installed databases etc now.
hope it will work for you as well.
Thanks!!!
I was having same issue, way i have resolved is:
opened the MySQL installer. i was having a Reconfigure link on MYSQL Server row.
Clicked on it, it does reinstalled MySQL Server.
after that opened MySQL Workbench, and it was working fine.
Try placing the host name (db01.mysql.vm.MyHostingServer.net) in your windows host (C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\host) file along with it's IP address and port number and see if that helps.
If you have installed WAMP on your machine, please make sure that it is running. Do not EXIT the WAMP from tray menu since it will stop the MySQL Server.
To connect to a new server, you click on home + add new connection. Put IP or webserver URL in new connection.
Just try to run the following command manually:
C:\wamp\bin\mysql\mysql5.6.17\bin\mysqld.exe --console
It worked for me :)
Ran into the exact same problem as OP and found that leaving the "MySQL Server Port" empty in the MySQL Workbench connection solves the issue.
I have tried all the method.
I will suggest you to reinstall it.
