First I'd like to say that I've searched for this error and I didn't find anything helpful. I'm trying to install MySQL and everything goes alright until I get to "Apply Configuration". When it gets to "Starting the Server", it fails.
Image with the error here.
And I get the following on the log:

I'm not a hacker nor programmer and I don't know how to do very complicated stuff on PCs (messing with paths, etc), if you can help please detail step by step what I have to do. Getting MySQL to work properly is extremely important to me and I'd appreciate your help. Thank you.
Got a new laptop [Windows 11] and for the first time I am facing issues with MySQL server. It installs alright but fails at the step "Starting server".
When I check the logs on the next tab I get the error message:
Attempting to connect to Mysql#localhost:3306 with user root with no password... MySQL error 1042: Unable to connect to any of the specified MySQL hosts.
I have tried other versions, tried to start server from services, changed to Local System Account under service properties, but still the server just wont start.
I was starting to learning SQL, then I download MySQL, but I am stuck in this error, I retry again and again but it didn't work still.

I was face same problem when it come to step starting the server it make error!
Based on my experience This is caused by the antivirus program, after I disabled the Antivirus, the installation was completed without problems.
While installing MYSQL i got this error "MySQL error 0: Reading from the stream has failed.
Waiting 3 seconds before the next connection attempt...

Finished configuration of MySQL Server 8.0.13 with state ConfigurationError
I have provided the password still it is showing no password,, i have also googled it but unable to find anything useful. Please help me with this issue
I am aware that this question has been asked many times before, but all solutions I tried out did not work for me.
So, I installed MySQL Workbench and server. I log into Workbench as root. In the toolbar I click on Server then Startup/Shutdown and there I click on the button Start Server. But whenever I do this, I get following log:
018-05-14 21:09:59 - Starting server...
2018-05-14 21:10:07 - Server start done.
2018-05-14 21:10:09 - Checking server status...
2018-05-14 21:10:09 - Trying to connect to MySQL...
2018-05-14 21:10:09 - Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061) (2003)
2018-05-14 21:10:09 - Assuming server is not running
Addiotionally a popup appears which says:
Connect Error
Could not connect to MySQL: Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061)(code 2003)
One solution I found suggested installing the server manually. So I went into cmd as admin and typed:
C:\> "C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 8.0\bin\mysqld" --install
It gave following output:
Service successfully installed.
But in Workbench the Server is still stopped and when trying to start it like mentioned above the same logs with the same popup and error appears.
Another solution I found suggested installing MySQL Notifier and using it to start and stop the server and use it to manage monitored items. But quite frankly, once I restart workbench and try to log in as root, it wont even log in but give following pop up error:
Cannot Connect to Database Server
Your conection attempt failed for user 'root' from your host to server at localhost:3306:
Authentication plugin 'catching sha2 password' cannot be loaded: Das angegebene Modul wurde nicht gefunden.
Please:
1 Check that mysql is running on server localhost
2 Check that mysql is running on port 3306 (note: 3306 is the default, but this can be changed)
3 Check the root has rights to connect to localhost from your adress (mysql rights define what clients can connect to the server from which machines)
4 Make sure you are both providing a password if needed and using the correct password for localhost connecting from the host adress you're connecting from
So now this "Authentication plugin 'catching sha2 password' cannot be loaded:" looks suspicious and I tried looking that up. I found this solution, which requires me to log into MySQL from cmd, but when I type C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 8.0\bin>mysql -u root -p and execute it, it asks for the password which I provide, but then it answers with
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'#'localhost' (using password: YES)
Now I hit a wall and I don't know how to continue. The MySQL server still doesn't work and I am desperate.
Do you have SQL Server (MSSQL) instance installed on your machine? If so, this may cause an issue. MSSQL may "capture" port 3306. Try to stop MSSQL service and test MySQL.
The easiest way to resolve the error where the service does not start is by going into the registry as Administrator.
Navigate to HKLM\System\ControlSet001\Services\MySQL
Change image path to "C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 8.0\bin\mysql.exe" --defaults-file=C:\Program Files\MyNewSQL\bin\MyNewSQL.ini MyNewSQL
My problem (same as yours):
Current Registry Setting:
C:\MySQLs\MySQLDev\bin\mysqld --defaults-file=C:/MySQLs/MySQLDev/MySQLDev.ini MySQLDev
Change Registry Setting to:
C:\MySQLs\MySQLDev\bin\mysqld.exe --defaults-file=C:/MySQLs/MySQLDev/MySQLDev.ini MySQLDev
Rerun "net start MySQLDev"
The MySQLDev service is starting.
The MySQLDev service was started successfully.
On Windows 10 and previous versions, you MUST give the User assigned to the MySQL service full permission of the MySQL folders.
I believe the newest version uses, User NETWORK SERVICES, therefore use File Explorer, right click on all of the MySQL folders, click on Properties, Security, Edit and give User NETWORK SERVICES full access of those folders.
Failure to do this will result in the Service starting and stopping due to errors which are visible if you use Command Line.
