Can't connect to mySQL with Navicat - mysql

Please, I just migrated from Windows to Mac recently. I installed XAMPP on my mac and also installed PHP and MySQL using Homebrew on my mac. I can easily connect to the MySQL from homebrew using the Navicat if I start it using the command brew services start mysql
But, the problem is if I stop the brew service and start my XAMPP, I can't connect to MySQL. I can easily connect with phpMyAdmin web, but with Navicat, it keeps throwing error that it can't connect to the localhost.
I tried looking up the port the MySQL is running and it is 3306. But using host=localhost, username=root, password=<empty>, port=3306 but I still get the error.
Any help is appreciated.


I know the post is old, but I still think it's useful to come up with solutions anyway. I'm using MAMP and I just had a configuration problem, to allow access to MySQL.
When I checked "Allow network access to MySQL", it was OK for me.
Hope it helps someone.

Xampp connects to MariaDB instead of mysql (KNP/SymfonyCasts tutorial "how to speak database")

I am following tutorial from KNP/SymfonyCasts and I have problem with connecting to mysql.
That's what tutor write in her terminal
And that is my output
I assume this matter so... How can I change this? They do not cover issue, just mention that if blank password doesn't work, I should use "root".

MariaDB comes with XAMPP.
Since you installed XAMPP and are using it, obviously it will connect to its MariaDB installation. MariaDB is Mysql.
Don't install the MySQL that comes bundled with XAMPP or just change the config and point it to your other MySQL installation if you have one (a community server, for example)
Or just use the MariaDB(Mysql) from XAMPP.

No MySQL Service in Windows Services Manager

I installed MySQL Workbench recently, and had a bunch of problems starting MySQL. After a lot of troubleshooting I realized the MySQL Services wasn't running. Also I don't have a 'bin' folder in the MySQL directory. I've seen some other weirdness as well. I'm thinking that something may have gotten mangled during the install. Is that a realistic assumption? At this this point is it better to uninstall and then reinstall MySQL? Or is there an easy fix for the MySQL Services not running problem?

My appreciation is as follows::
To be able to use mysql workbench, you have to download a program to run on localhost, these can be Xamp, Wamp, among others.This is the interface of Xampp
After installing any of these programs, you start the mysql service that appears in these programs.Connection from Mysql to localhost
Once the service starts, open your mysql workbench and connect to the localhost.
Finally, create your tables and do your queries in the workbench or in the mysql provided by PhpMyAdmin.
I hope it will be a great help.

MySQL Workbench incompatible/nonstandard server

I am new to using MySQL and I needed to download it for school, however, I keep getting this error message (picture below). I am using xampp and connecting using the username root. the port also matches what it is telling me. It will let me proceed but a lot of the features are missing. Any help at all would be appreciated.
Incompatible/nonstandard server version or connection protocol
detected (10.0.10).
A connection to this database can be established but some MySQL
Workbench features may not work properly since the database is not
fully compatible with the supported versions of MySQL.
MySQL Workbench is developed and tested for MySQL Server versions 5.1,
5.5, 5.6 and 5.7

As I can see, You are using latest XAMPP.
All you need to do is, after opening MySQL Workbench, and instead of setting up a new connection, Press CTRL+R or click on DATABASE tab in the top menu. Select Reverse Engineer and provide necessary information. You are good to go now.
The MySql workbench wont crash or show any compatibility issue now.

The current version of XAMPP uses MariaDB instead of MySQL.
Because MySQL Workbench is designed to work with MySQL and not with the very similar drop in replacement MariaDB, you are gonna have problems ...
So, if you want to use MySQL Workbench with XAMPP then a solution would be to try installing the last version of XAMPP that uses MySQL. That version is probably 1.8.3 from (August of 2014?). You can download it here:
XAMPP Sourceforge old versions

If you are using the latest XAMPP that uses MariaDB, in that case in your MySQL Workbench don't use 'Connect to Database' instead use 'Reverse Engineer' and provide the necessary credentials. That's all, No hassle.

I encounter the same message followed by a crash of MySQL Workbench, with version 6.3.7 (build 1199).
I didn't find a solution, but here is a work-around:
Once you press the button Continue anyway, just open a database use toto, and then wait a bit (a minute is enough in my case), and then you can call a query without a crash. I found this trick here.

I experimented the same with WAMP 3.2.0.
MariaDB was configured to listen to port 3306 (the usal MySQL port) and MySQL 8 was listening on port 3308. If you are in this case, don't be fooled by the fact you have 2 DBs.
To solve this, you have to choose the DB you want. I wanted MySQL and I just ask MySQLWorkBench to open a connection on port 3308 to MySQL.

You can ditch MySQL Workbench, and use the browser made for the MariaDB, they have a free version here: https://www.upscene.com/downloads/dbw
It's limited in its abilities, but I had no troubles connecting and browsing.

I had the similar problem because i was using Denwer at the same time.
To solve the problem:
Stop Denwer
Restart MySQL server
Profit! Now you can open your database in the Workbench
The idea is that denwer was starting its local server which didnt allow MySQL to start normally.
If you want to use denwer at the same time wth MySQL you can just start it after MySQL (Point 4).

In my case I already had MySql server and workbench installed and setup prior to my XAMPP installation. I wanted to continue with my existing setup.
I also installed MySql server with my XAMPP. I started mysql inside XAMPP and when I connected to MySql Workbench, I encountered the same error. Because Workbench was trying to connect with the server which was installed with XAMPP, apparently this was incompatible.
So I stopped mysql in XAMPP and started started mysql server manually(the previous setup and installed server).
Refer this to know how to start mysql manually in windows.
You can also config XAMPP to use your existing SqlServer.

So I had the same problem. For me none of the methods worked, but then I found out that my MariaDB was occupying the same port, so I uninstalled it and that solved the problem.

i had same issue, i changed the mysql server port from 3306 to 3308 in XAMPP config file.
[mysqld]
port=3308

connect to mysql with wavemaker

I have recently downloaded Wavemaker because I feel it best suites my needs, however when I try and connect to my database on a mysql server hosted with godaddy, I keep getting access denied. However I can connect using exactly the same loggin info for sql workbench and razorsql just to see if I had my credentials correct and I have no problem connecting using those other two tools, is it me or is wavemaker being a pain?

Did you remember to install the MySQL JDBC DRIVER?
If not you can get it from the MySQL site, or install it on your Linux machine using the appropriate install commands. I had the same problem and after installing the driver everything worked great.
I'm posting my WaveMaker MySQL connection info (the database properties file) in hopes it might help:

mysql over SSH tunnel

I'm having an issue on both a win7 development machine, and on a windows 2008 production server with connecting to a remote Suse Linux server to mysql over SSH. I've followed the very simple instructions here.
http://realprogrammers.com/how_to/set_up_an_ssh_tunnel_with_putty.html
only on the last step, i'm trying to use the odbc connector that I downloaded from here.
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/odbc/
trying both localhost:3306 and 127.0.0.1:3306 doesn't seem to make a difference. I CAN log into the linux server in putty over ssh, and use the command line from the terminal to connect to mysql. My issue is that I need the windows server to be able to connect and query data from the mysql instance on the linux server. When I attempt to connect from the odbc connector it immediately pops up an error that root#localhost is denied with password=YES. I've checked my user table in mysql and root is set to allow login from any host, including localhost. Anyone have any other suggestions for getting this to work? It's quite urgent as we need to plan for a data synchronization of several gigs by this Saturday. Thanks in advance for any help.

Okay, I figured this out... You have to run putty.exe as an administrator. Once I did that the connection worked just fine. Hopefully this saves someone a few hours of work down the road. Thanks to bfavaretto for his help.
