WordPress Database Connection Error on MacOS Mojave - mysql

After updating to MacOS Mojave, I installed WordPress locally with WordPressify
I installed the latest version of MySQL and added a database via MySQLWorkbench.
MySQL was up and running. Everything seemed to be working. Running the development server launched the WordPress initial configuration page. Database credentials were correct. Still, WordPress was unable to connect to the database.

First step to solving this was to enable debugging in wp-config.php:
define('WP_DEBUG', true);
This revealed that the database was running, but the authentication method was failing. This was solved in System Preferences... MySQL... Initialize Database
and selecting Use Legacy Password Encryption.
Hope this helps!

How do I setup a visual MySQL client if I already have MySQL installed in my system?

I have downloaded the MySQL from the following link:
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/
Downloaded the version 8.0.0. I have OS X 10.10.5
Now, I suppose I need to configure a visual MySQL client on my laptop to write queries. For that, I have installed sequelpro (sequelpro.com).
I need help on following points:
- Since there are a number of sample databases which one can use to learn SQL, can you please guide me on few such databases. My objective is to learn advanced SQL.
- Also, how do I configure my client (sequelpro) to connect to that database so that I can run queries.
As of now, I am stuck with the following screenshot with no clue what to do next.
Thanks a lot. Screenshot here
Based on the fact you said in the comments you have OSX and you installed mysql manually without phpmyadmin I suggest you download and install mamp.
mamp
1: https://www.mamp.info/en/ is,
MAMP installs a local server environment in a matter of seconds on
your computer. It comes free of charge, and is easily installed. MAMP
will not compromise any existing Apache installation already running
on your system. You can install Apache, PHP and MySQL without starting
a script or having to change any configuration files! Furthermore, if
MAMP is no longer needed, just delete the MAMP folder and everything
returns to its original state (i.e. MAMP does not modify any of the
"normal" system).
Basically it is a fake server that runs on your computer. This will be yours for localhost development. You can use it to serve your localhost php applications, change versions of php and gives you a GUI for mysql which is phpmyadmin.
Once you install mamp
you might need to configure mamp to use the mamp mysql but most likley it will work out of the box. If you do run into any problems make sure you stop the instance of mysql you installed already before running mamp then trying to ran mamp again and it should be using the correct version.

How to get MySQL server working after OSX Yosemite upgrade?

After I upgraded my Mac from Mavericks OSX to Yosemite, my local Apache and MySQL server setup did not work anymore. Thanks to Apache localhost/~username/ not working I just got the Apache server working but my Joomla application now indicates it can't access the MySQL database; neither can the Phpmyadmin tool.
How to fix this? I've seen instructions for installing MySQL for Yosemite (https://www.computersnyou.com/3376/setup-apache-php-mysql-macosx-10-10-yosemite/) but I'm not sure whether that's the best way forward as my Joomla application still needs to access the existing MySQL db information? E.g., I don't want to lose my existing saved database info of various web applications....
If you had a working native version of mysql working on Mavericks, the mysql preference pane should be still visible in the preferences, just click on the preference pane and start mysql.
Only problem is that mysql does not auto-start on boot, this can be solved by following these steps: https://stackoverflow.com/a/26465743/580173
Just Start MySQL Server! It worked for me.

Can I keep MYSQL and WAMP Server running together?

At first, I use Struts 2 to develop a website in Java web technology. So I installed Apache Tomcat as the localhost server and MYSQL as the database (MYSQL here is the full application from mysql.com, not the packages like XAMPP or WAMP...)
But now I switch to learn a little bit about PHP so I install WAMP full package. When I start all services of WAMP and go to browser and type localhost, everything work fine
But when I go to localhost/phpmyadmin, it seems to connect to the old MYSQL application in my computer (what I've used in Java web). And then I restart computer and use MYSQL Workbench (in the MYSQL application), but now it connects to the database of WAMP package, and I can not connect to the old database (in Java web) anymore
The solution is remove WAMP but I need WAMP for PHP
So I just want to ask how can I use MYSQL application and WAMP package together (MYSQL application for Java web and WAMP package for PHP)?
Thank you and apology for my bad English!
Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.1 and open my (Configuration file) and then navigate to
[client]
port=3306
Change this to
[client]
port:3307
This will make phpmyadmin to run on 3306 and Java-Mysql to run on 3307
You can of course keep both XAMPP and WAMP running together keeping in mind that you have changed the default ports for either of it to some other ports rather than 80,443 and 3306, but sometimes it could create conflict as when you install some other third party softwares or enable certain services that run on port 80,443,3306.
The best alternative here would be to install one of the servers inside a virtual machine with network configured as "host-only-adapter" so that from the base machine you could access XAMPP/WAMP installed on the virtual machine by just pointing the ip-address of the virtual machine through a web-browser.
or,
If you want to run both XAMPP and WAMP together on the same machine but access only one of the servers at a time then you could go ahead installing both of them one after another. But, keep in mind that before installing the other server you have to completely stop all the services running from the XAMPP or WAMP control panel then quit the application. After this step you can go ahead installing the other server without changing any configurations or port numbers. This is because in this case we assumed that only one of the servers would be accessed at a time. Hence, before launching the other server one has to completely quit the application that is running currently by stopping all of it's services. If skype is installed then one has to change the default incoming connection ports to other than port 80 and 443.
Like mentioned above, if at all the intention is to access both servers up and running concurrently then taking advantage of a virtual machine would be the best to avoid conflicts and a long-term troubleshoots eventually.
If you messed up changing ports and config files then you could end up with the following error while trying to access phpmyadmin from XAMPP control panel:
**mysql said: Cannot connect: invalid settings. xampp**
note: while launching the servers , run it as administrator else some services will not start properly.
"I TRIED INSTALLING BOTH XAMPP AND WAMP ON WINDOWS 10 AS SUCH AS POINTED BY MANY THREADS I CHANGED THE DEFAULT PORTS FOR MYSQL & APACHE XAMPP AS IT WOULD CONFLICT WITH WAMP ALREADY INSTALLED ONLY ENDING UP UNABLE TO ACCESS PHPMYADMIN FROM XAMPP CONTROL PANEL. THEN REINSTALLED XAMPP WITHOUT CHANGING ANY CONFIGS OR PORTS. STOP THE WAMP SERVICES, QUIT THE APP AND THEN LAUNCH PHPMYADMIN FROM XAMPP CONTROL PANEL. AT LAST IT WORKED!. THE PROCESS LOOKS SHORT THOUGH WHEN IN REALITY IT TOOK ME COUNTLESS HOURS AND PAIN RESEARCHING ON THE WEB AND TESTING FOR A POSSIBLE SOLUTION UNTILL I CAME UP WITH THIS."
Hopes, this quick tips and guides would be helpful.

Workbench did not install Mysql in services. Should I do it manually? How?

I just installed mysql workbench CE 5.2.
I tried to create and open a connection
and it said "Can't Connect to MYSQL server on '127.0.0.1' (10061)"
I looked around the answers on stackoverflow.
Eventually I found my way on services.
I saw that Mysql was not there.
dev.mysql.com says that I should install it with "mysqld" but it's not found inside the workbench installer.
What should I do?
If there is a way please tell it step by step.
Thank you!
Have you installed MySql server on the local machine? Workbench is just a GUI program to make it easier to access a database - be it on you local machine or a remote machine.
Just install mysql on your local machine. See http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/
There's a MySQL Installer for Windows which does install everything you need in this regard. Including several different server version, connectors, tools like Workbench and more. This installer should be your first attempt.
Of course you can also install the server separately. Download the msi and run the installer. Make sure you name your service properly. mysqld is usually not a name we use on Windows for a service. I recommend something like MySQL56 (for a 5.6 server).
