MySQL Workbench Manage Server Instances - mysql

I successfully installed MySQL server (I can connect to it manually through the MySQL shell). When I try to establish a connection through MySQL Workbench, the test connection goes through as well. But when I try to view the server's info or interact with the server, an error message pops up that says, "Current profile has no WMI enabled." I have searched for a solution to this problem, and found a few threads like this one: https://www.quora.com/MySQL-Workbench-How-can-I-solve-the-Current-Profile-Has-no-WMI-enable-error-message. However, I just can't find the 'Manage Server Instances' dialog or button anywhere. I am running workbench version 6.3. If anyone has run into this problem then I would appreciate a workaround.

It's unusual that you get that error again. I haven't heard since years of such a problem. Anyway, the solution is still to configure the connection properly. That "configure server instances" link is very old (from WB 5.x). Instead look for the connection editor (titled: Manage Server Connections). You can open the dialog either via the main menu or the small wrench button on the homescreen:

MySQL Workbench Failing to Connect to Server (Windows)

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.

MySQL Workbench Cannot Connect to Database Server (Heroku, JawsDB)

My workbench was previously working fine until recently, but I'm now getting the following error:
I'm not sure what's relevant so I'll list out everything that I think might be relevant:
My OS is Windows and I'm using JawsDB & Heroku as my server.
I've recently tried to mess with the my.cnf file (in an attempt to enable 'LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE')
I think this is the extent to which I've used mysql_config_editor:
I've run "SET GLOBAL local_infile = true;" after logging in to my local sql.
I've checked numbers 1-4 on the error message. Here is an image of my connection to be sure:
I think I've messed with the NetBIOS at some point, and that might be a problem as discussed here, but I don't see "manage server instances" anywhere.
I'm not sure what else might be the issue here. Thanks in advance.
Edit: After trying to connect to the MySQL server through the command line, I get "ERROR 2003 (HY000): Can't connect to MySQL server on 'lyl3nln24eqcxxot.cbetxkdyhwsb.us-east-1.rds.amazonaws.com' (10060)", which seems to be an authentication error and not a connection error according to this link. But I'm unsure how to deal with this authentication error if it is one.
I'm not sure if this constitutes as an answer, but I've managed to establish a connection through my usual wifi (as opposed to a public school's wifi). It looks like either my security settings are different when on a public wifi or the public wifi itself had some sort of security setting that was blocking my connection.

DataGrip/PhpStorm is not connecting to MySQL DB, error: com.intellij.execution.ExecutionException

I was using PhpStorm as my code editor and DB client both. It was working fine. But suddenly it stopped working. Deleting connection and then add new data source with absolute correct database credentials, but still it's not being connect.
Then I thought it's a problem with PhpStorm, so I downloaded DataGrip, but it has the same issue. I am being able to connect with the same database by same credentials using SequelPro.
Here is what I am getting when I click apply button. When I click the "Test Connection" button it's shows an infinite process connecting to database running in background.
I have no idea what's going wrong suddenly with JetBrains products about DB. I am not 100% sure about exactly after which activity, I am getting this issue. I am using the latest version of PhpStorm and DataGrip (version 2017.3.4 Built on 17 January 2018) both.
My idea.log is as bellow:
Try this:
In your Data Sources and Drivers window: select your db connection item.
Click [MySQL] link after the [Driver:] label
Remove all items in [Additional files:]
Done!

MySQL Error Number 2003 on windows 8

I have installed MySQL Query browser 1.2.11 on my windows 8 machine, but i open MySQL Query Browser it show me error like bellow image
when i click on ping button it works fine for me.
i google this problem and disable my windows firewall still it same error on open MySQL Query Browser
The server not starting mostly happens with permission issues or installation errors. Please check if there is any permission issues or try to reinstall mysql.
Please check the following link for more info Can't connect to [local] MySQL server
Error No. 2003: Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (or some other host)
simply means that connection is not possible for one of the following (or similar) reasons:
There is no MySQL server running at the specified host
Connection to the MySQL server is not allowed using TCP-IP. Check the 'skip-networking' setting in the MySQL configuration file (my.ini on Windows, my.cnf on Unix/Linux). It shall be commented out like '#skip-networking'. If it is not commented out, then do it and restart the MySQL server for the change to take effect. Needs to connect using TCP-IP.
Some networking issue prevents connection. It could be a network malconfiguration or a firewall issue.
This error usually occur when mysql service get stopped.
In Windows OS:
Right click on my computer>> manage>>services and application>>services
Then search for mysql. Right click on mysql then properties from there select "start up type" after that click on start.
Now login to your mysql. It should be working fine.
seems like service went down.
please start the service if it stopped .
service mysqld start
go to start-> run-> services.msc
in this search for MySQL right click and 'start'...
now you can login again...Query Browser will start again...

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.
