I have been trying to run MySQL workbench on my macOS Catalina 10.15.2 for a long time now. I have been using MySQL from the CLI. But recently when I tried to switch to the workbench, there has been some issue with the launching of the Workbench Application.
MySQL server works well from the CLI. But whenever I try to open the workbench, it opens and closes automatically within seconds. I have tried installing the older version of the workbench and also tried reinstalling the whole SQL server. None of it has helped me so far. I even tried searching the issue, but most issues are related to the crashing of the application or failure of connection with the database.
I have even tried running the application from the command line and also "open in low resolution". But none it has worked for me :/
It'd be very helpful if someone could help me out.
Thanks!
MySQL server: 8.0.19,
MySQL Workbench: 8.0.19
Downloading the 8.0.22 version from https://downloads.mysql.com/archives/workbench/ worked for me, (Im using macOs Big Sur version 11.1)
I was having a similar problem (the workbench not launching) until I clicked on the link to the version 8.0.22 of the mySQL workbench posted by Hando and it works. I use MacOS Catalina. This is the link again https://downloads.mysql.com/archives/workbench/
yes, version .22 worked for me as well. I did get a 'security' error but was able to go into preferences security/privacy, and 'allow' this app which was NOT loaded from the apple app store.
I am using macOS Catalina 10.15.7 and I fixed this issue by downloading MySQL Workbench 8.0.17 and it worked! :)

I just installed Laragon but when it wants to start its services, it "freezes" when mySQL have to be launched, then shows me that message :
mysqld.exe - Application Error
This application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). Click OK to close the application.
After that, Laragon's window writes "initialize data..." then does not change until I stop all services.
I wanted to check the log files but... zero log. So impossible to have some details...
I've tried to uninstall and reinstall.
I've tried another version of mySQL.
None of them works. WAMP is also installed on my computer, but I don't really want to uninstall it (and I don't think that's problem since I have both at work).
I think MySQL 5.7 is not compatible with your OS.
You can try two options:
Copy your MySQL in WAMP to laragon\bin\mysql\
Use MariaDB
Basically I want to know where I can find a distribution of XAMPP that uses good ol' MySQL instead of MariaDB. I have a Drupal site that runs fine on MySQL 5.5.16, but when I run it on MySQL 10.1.0-MariaDB (which was what the newer XAMPP I downloaded came with), I can't clear the caches without it corrupting the database. I know MariaDB is supposedly the same as MySQL, but this error is happening with one and not the other, and nothing else is different. Where can I get that distribution?
I am presuming you are using Windows.
According to WikiPedia, MySQL 5.5.16 came installed with XAMPP 1.7.7 and the last version of XAMPP to come with MySQL (5.6.26) was XAMPP 5.6.12. (Source)
You can find all the older versions of XAMPP on Sourceforge.
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
I have MySQL workbench installed on my computer and always worked correctly. Now try to run it and do not run. Gives an error:
MySql Workbench has encountered a problem
External component has throw an exception.
We are sorry for the inconvenience but an unexpected exception has been raised by one of the MySQL Workbench modules. In order to fix this issue we would kindly ask you to file a bug report. You can do that by pressing the [Report Bug] button below.
Please make sure to include a detailed description of your actions that lead to this problem.
Thanks a lot for taking the time to help us improve MySQL Workbench!

And then the application crashes.
Figured it out. I saved off a "new" .sql file while in Workbench. I exited Workbench. When launched again is when I got the error.
For some reason I looked at the folder I saved the .sql file in and noticed it was 0kb in size. I deleted this file and re-launched Workbench ... it launched normally.
Problem solved ....
Because your computer doesn't have Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio 2013 ;)
