Mysql For Excel: No Connection Showing - mysql

I am having an issue for Mysql for Excel plugin, when I first installed it, it was showing my local connections, etc. I shut the programs and re-opened it and it has refused to show anything since then, it does not show local connection or remote connection - but everything is working well from MYSQL Benchmark, I can see all the connections, etc, but the plugin in excel is just blank grey screen - as shown in the screenshot, I have uninstalled and reinstalled both my excel and the plugin, still giving the same error, any ideas or help will be appreciated

Working solution from https://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=96047
Simply start up Excel, click on File at the top left, click on Options
at the bottom left, select General in the Excel Options dialog and
under User Interface Options select Optimize for Compatibility, click
OK and restart Excel. Your connections should now appear.

Eureka Eureka I found it
The same thing has happened to me. It was working and then the next time no connections. I have spent hours and days and weeks trying to get it to work again. After weeks of trying, I found the solution.
Apparently, Microsoft did a security upgrade to Excel.
Solution:
File
Options
Trust Center
Trust Center Settings....
Uncheck Enable Protected View for files originating from the Internet.

apparently all of Mysql bugs relating to this say that you can fix this by updating Microsoft Office. Go to File > Account > Update Now
I hope that helps

How to fix XAMPP Shell from crashing

So I recently installed XAMPP, following a YouTube guide along the way. I click the start actions for Apache and MySQL and everything was going smooth until when I click the Shell icon on the right side of the command panel and the cmd associated with it just opens for a brief second and immediately closes I kept clicking on it hoping for it to work and nope it still just opens for a brief second and closes.
I kept searching for possible solutions online and still, it doesn't solve the issue. I tried tweaking the config of the Apache and MySQL and it still didn't fix it. I also try reinstalling using different XAMPP versions and still the problem persists. I also tried running it as administrator and issue is still there.
Additionally I'm using Windows 10
If anyone knows a possible fix for this I would greatly appreciate it.
Edit: I screen recorded my XAMPP issue, here's the link to that video : https://youtu.be/h-lM250Pqwc
Same issue on Windows 11
Running xampp-control as administrator did the trick. Source
Some alternative solutions:
Run SFC scan
Edit the registry key to stop CMD from closing
Follow these steps:
Open the xampp folder.
Search for xampp_shell.
Right click it and run it as administrator.
That's it!

Accessing webserver

I have a vague question and I'm not excactly a computer specialist, so don't be too hard on me.
I have a program running on a linux server, which is assembled in a html document, which I run on the linux server using firefox. Basically it's a number of png pictures, which I can interact with. I can click on them, and data about this particular picture appear. This data stems from a mysql database.
Everything is working fine on the linux server.
Now I'm trying to acces this program through another computer coupled up on our local network, by pressing the url of the linux server into a webbrowser. This also works. I see excactly the same png files, except when I click on them, nothing happens. It seems there is no connection to the mysql server, where the data is on.
I know it's vague, but does anyone have a clue about what I might be doing wrong?
Thank you
First step see the permissions on the server side!
Second step see how you are doing the connections!
For more help you have to explain how you are doing these two steps.
I had a similar problem with a file upload and it was due to errors performing these two steps.

Blocked DLL Detected: MySQL because of No-Installation Download

This error keeps on appearing whenever I try to create a new schema.
I can't quite understand the instructions. I went to my specified SQL folder but what "zip- unzip" was the instruction talking about? Moreover, it didn't specify what DLL should I look for.
I hope someone can help! Thanks!
You could try to run the MySQL Workbench as Administrator, than it can possibly unblock the dlls automatically.
If not, g to the folder where you have installed MySQL Workbench and use the Explorer Search functionality to search for all *.dll and *.exe. Then right click on each. If the dll/exe is blocked, you see an unblock button on the properties page, press it. You have to repeat this for all dlls/exes.

SSRS 2012 Always prompt for login

Check the IE's 'User authentication' settings (refer to screenshot in

Hope your issue is solved now. But I was looking to overcome same problem, and as I got a solution. I thought some other people might get help from this.
I was trying to deploy a report to our production server but it would prompt for user credentials again and again but wont deploy the report, and everything seemed to be alright with the report.
I tried every credentials being used on the server but nothing worked.
Eventually I had a thought that there are .RDL, .RDS files being used to generate report and somehow the same should be uploaded on the server and this time I used the FTP User account credentials and Bingo!, it worked.
Hope this saves time of other people.
IE Settings:
Open Internet Explorer
Go to Tools and click on Internet Options
Under the Security tab, click on Trusted sites and click the Sites button and Add Report Manager/Report Server URL to the trusted
sites.
Then click Custom Level, and check the option Automatic logon with current user name and password
Repeat #3 and #4 for Local Intranet

Login into "Server"/ReportServer
Click on rdl file "drop down"
Select Manage
check if the Data Source's Connection String box is empty
If it's empty, provide the Connection String again
Select the Option Windows Integrated Security
Test and save your Connection String.
This will overwrite your localhost credentials.

SQL Server Reporting Services Datasource keeps losing database login credentials

In my development environment, every time I reboot windows (which must be done at least daily for me), all of my Shared SSRS Datasources lose their credentials.
Currently I have them set up to log into the database using a fixed credential, but on reboot all the datasources pop over to using no credentials. Granted, it's only in the dev environment, and I can just check out/update the datasource/check back in and it will work fine... until I reboot again.
FYI, I've been using these Shared Datasources for at least 2 years and no problems, but in the last month or so, it's been a recurring daily problem.
Help?
I'm assuming you are talking about the Shared Data Sources in a Report Server project in Visual Studio, as opposed to a Data Source created directly on Reporting Services. The latter, the data is stored all in the ReportServer database that was specified when setting up SSRS.
Now, as for the .rds file used in Visual Studio, if you open the file up in a text editor, notice that the username and password is not stored in the file. It is actually stored in the .rptproj.user file. So, check that someone didn't remove the .user file from source control (.user files shouldn't be in source control, but in your case...).
This is scenario is testable by entering your credentials, saving all files, and exiting Visual Studio. Find and delete the .rptproj.user file, and open your Report Server project up again and see the credentials gone!
A work around is add the "User ID=user;Password=pass" as part of the Connection String. When the .rds is opened up, the Connection String won't show this portion, but the Credentials tab should have the right values.
Could this be related to the boot order of services on your machine.
Just a guess: Maybe there is new functionality in SP3 that checks if the connection credentials are valid. If they are not valid they are cleared.
The problem would then happen if this check is done before SQL server has had time to start. This would explain why they are cleared when the machine restarts.
I have recently experienced the same problem, but I can't connect it to a reboot. It seemed to happen when I checked the solution from source control - we use Team Foundation Server. After disabling the service account a bazillion times, it somehow healed itself and began behaving. I found this post and checked my project folder for the rptproj.user file that benson mentioned, and it has a modified date of the day I had problems, but a create date of close to what I can remember as having created the project, so I will pay attention to this in the future.
Did anyone come up with anything new on this issue?
I realize you may have read this already, but something here could help? http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms159846.aspx
I would pay attention to how the SSRS was installed and also what accounts the servies run as, as well as an domain logon policies.
