I can't get my MySQL Sever to start. It had been running fine for a month or so since the install, but after a reboot yesterday, it will not start. I have tried a number of recommendations from other posts here, but no luck.
This install worked fine until the reboot. According to Activity Monitor I do have one mysqld process running.
I get this error from:
mysql -u root
"ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)"
I get this error when running:
sudo /usr/local/mysql/support-files/mysql.server start
"ERROR! The server quit without updating PID file (/usr/local/mysql/data/laptop.pid)."
Also the MySQL prerPane shows the Server Status stopped. Clicking the "Start MySQL Server" brings the spinning ball and doesn't start the server.
I don't want to uninstall and reinstall.
I'm running 10.9.6 OSX and what seems to be mysql-5.6.22-osx10.8-x86_64. (even though I also have a directory for mysql-5.7.10-osx10.9-x86_64 in my /usr/local/ directory). My install is from the Pkg file from the MySQL website.
Any suggestions would be welcome.
Card-carrying OS/X user here . . .
Start by firing up the Console utility and using it to examine the logs in /var/log/apache2. (Use File..Open.. within the utility.)
I'm a little bit uncomfortable about your actual boots-on-the-ground situation because you indicate that you have installed a version that is different from the one that Apple provides. (How did it work, before?) Apple's utilities can only be expected to know about Apple's expected tools.
(Incidentally, the latest OS/X, "El Capitan," is running 5.7.11 as "the official, Apple-installed version.")

I just installed MySQL using the community installer in hopes of running a server and creating a database for use in my C++ program. I installed the Server, Workbench, Shell, Router, and Connector/C++ before running the Workbench. Everything appeared to be working properly. The server was running and I was able to connect to it in my C++ program, so I started to create my database, when the power suddenly went out before I could finish.
Once the power came back on and my PC rebooted, I reopened the MySQL Workbench to find that I was unable to start the server. I clicked the 'Start Server' button several times, but was met with the error "Could not start server: argument 2: <class 'TypeError'>: wrong type".
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling everything, but when I reopened the MySQL Workbench after the installation was finished, I was met with the same error. Does anyone know what could have possibly happened?
EDIT: After uninstalling everything and deleting every trace of MySQL from my computer, I was able to reinstall everything and get the server running again. However now I'm getting the same error when I try to STOP the server: "Could not stop server: argument 2: <class 'TypeError'>: wrong type". What is going on????
I have the same issue and I've installed the developers default version of the MySQL-Workbench with the installer. I recently updated my hardware and reinstalled Windows 10, maybe it's a bug of Windows 20H2 or of the Workbench itself?
I found a workaround: Use the CMD or the Powershell to start or stop the MySQL-Service of the server. In my case, it has the name MySQL80. Take a look in your services of windows when the commands below are not working.
Use net start MySQL80 to start the server.
Use net stop MySQL80 to stop the server.
Remember to open the CMD or the Powershell as Administrator. I think this issue is a bug of the workbench itself because the service is start and stopable with the command line.
The first thing to try is to run mysqld --console from the MySQL server bin folder. That should give you more specific error messages.
In my case, the data folder was missing. I needed to run one of the mysqld --initialize... commands; see https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/data-directory-initialization.html. On Windows, running mysqld --initialize... --console helps to see what server is doing.
Once that's done, you can run mysqld --console again to see if it starts successfully.
I solved this problem as follows. currently my.ini file encoding is UTF-8. you must change to ANSI.
I've done numerous suggestions and none work. Except this one:
Download and run the latest MySQL Installer.
A window will appear showing your installed services:
MySQL Server
MySQL Workbench
MySQL Shell
etc.
Click "reconfigure" on the MySQL Server and set up the server as you did previously.
My specific server setup was:
Type and Networking: leave as default
Authentication Method: (RECCOMENDED)
Accounts and Roles: Enter and check mysql password
Windows Service: Uncheck 'configure as a service'
Apply configuration: Execute
Server should be up and running.
in my case I had solve this way
Go to RUN----->Services.msc----->MYSQL80---->start server
hope this way problem will solved.
On my Windows installation the account the service runs under did not have (security) permissions to the non-existing data directory. After creating the data directory which was "Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 8.0\data" and setting permissions everything worked with a "net start mysql80".
Here are the steps I took to resolve my MySQL Workbench 8.0.23 issue
that resulted in an inability to start & stop the MySQL server process (mysqld)
from MySQL Workbench (O/S=Windows only answer)...
Close MySQL Workbench
In C:\Users<Your account>\AppData\Roaming\MySQL\Workbench\serverinstances.xml:
Replaced:
sc start MySQL80
sc stop MySQL80
With:
net start MySQL80
net stop MySQL80
Notes:
My mysqld service was installed w/ the name='MySQL80', replace/match this value to your actual service name.
My mysqld service was installed using a 'Network Service' account, verify that your service is also running as a network service before using the 'net' commands
Setup MySQLWorkbench CE 8.0 executable to 'Run As Administrator' so that the commands to start and stop the service run as an administrator:
In File Explorer find the MySQLWorkbench.exe executable:
E.g: C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Workbench 8.0\MySQLWorkbench.exe
In File Explorer, Select the exe, Right click on the exe, select 'Properties', select
'Compatibility' tab: specify 'Run This Program As An Administrator'
Start MySQL Workbench
Attempt to start or stop the MySql server process (mysqld)
Notes:
O/S = Windows 10 specific
MySQL & MySQL Workbench were installed via the MySQL CE 8.0.23 installer
Installed MySQL 8.0.23 as an upgrade from 5.7 to 8.0.23
If this error while starting/connecting the server from Workbench then you need to Go Start->MYsql workbench Installation Click.
Open and reconfigure the MySQL server with port number and Create Root user Password.
Finish this Re-configuration then open workbench. Provide the Port number and Credentials and connect to DB.
In window you may use task manager
just open task manager by search "task manager" in window search
Go to service and find Mysql (name depending on the name saved when initializing mysql server at first time)
Right click it and click start to start server or stop to stop server
I downloaded the MySQL Workbench 8.0 CE and can't connect to local host. I tried to make a connection and when I 'Test Connection' I get hit with an error message of 'Failed to Connect to MySQL at 127.0.0.1:3306 with user root' with 'Unable to connect to localhost' below it. I tried to find ‘MySQL’ in system preferences->services but it doesn’t come up. Someone suggested that means that it didn’t download properly but I don’t know why it didn’t download properly. I have tried to redownload it several times now and the connection issues keep happening. I am working on Windows. Someone suggested typing 'mysql -h localhost -P 3306 -u root -p' into the terminal. Do they mean the command prompt? Then I tried typing 'netstat -lnp | grep 3306' into the command prompt and it said 'grep' is not recognized as an internal or external command.
If anyone has any help I would really appreciated it. I have been lost for several days now and have no idea why this isn’t working.
Thanks
I would say that this might fix your problem,
try to uninstall all the previous installation like workbench or xampp or any other app that you might use for MySQL, using revo uninstaller or IOBIT , something like that.
Download xampp app from this link https://www.apachefriends.org/xampp-files/8.0.0/xampp-windows-x64-8.0.0-3-VS16-installer.exe and then install it,
it will show a warning but hit ok and next.. and leave it finishing installation,
allow its access and hit start on them booth and see if thet work , on apache and MySql,
then to test it properly go to web address on local host http://localhost/phpmyadmin/ (after running the xampp apace and MySQL services)
As you see there it looks that everything is working fine,
Now we start with workbench (close all services to make sure that
they wont cause any error, just stop booth 2 of them)
I would highly recommend you the community version, on this link https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/file/?id=499590 405MB file,
Click next,
There will be a warning about visual studio and python, but I guess it will be ok, you didn't mentioned that you are working with any of them
Click on execute and finish them installing successfully.
Now you hit next and create a password ex: localhost123#MYSQL
And hit execute,
Execute and finish
And you start the workbench, meanwhile start the services of xampp and start workbench, running xampp it gives me an error,
Go to task manager and kill this process as shown: then close and reopen xampp, then start services, check on localhost to ensure and open workbench again,
and check it
I have installed mysql with homebrew two weeks ago and everything works fine until today.
I have tried to connect to mysql with the classic command mysql -uroot and the behaviour following this command is really random. Sometimes, I'll connect successfully and sometimes I'll get the following error message
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)
When I say random, I mean that whenever it fails, I relaunch the command several times (~5 times) before it works.
Yet, I have no idea why:
the success of the operation is so random
what could have ignited such a behaviour (i.e why I am facing this issue only now)
I don't think you did enough research regarding this error relating to homebrew since there's so many resources/solutions available regarding this error.
You can try to run brew services restart mysql or brew services start mysql and also take a look at the homebrew-services page
I'm having an awkward issue here. I've recently installed MySql on windows 7. Based on things I have googled, when you first install MySQL it shouldn't ask for a password. For some reason it did on my system.
I used the method described in the link below to reset my root password:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/resetting-permissions.html
It works. However apparently the password is lost every time I restart windows. Therefore I have to reset the root password every time I restart windows.
Any Ideas what I could be doing wrong?
Thanks in advance
Additional notes:
When I type
--init-file=C:\\mysql-init.txt
in the command window, I get the message "starting process 1960...." however it apparently freezes there and I won't be able enter further input into the command window. However when I open the MySQL workbench everything works fine.
On the other hand when I use this:
mysqld
--defaults-file="C:\\ProgramData\\MySQL\\MySQL Server 5.7\\my.ini"
--init-file=C:\\mysql-init.txt
The command window doesn't freeze, but when I open the MySQL workbench I can't connect.
Additional notes2:
After following the steps in the link if I try to start the service from the "Services" window I get an error:
Windows could not start the MySQL 5.6 service on local computer. Error 1067: the process terminated unexpectedly.
Again everything works fine if I manually open the MySQL workbench, however I do get this error when trying to start the service.
My MySQL Workbench is not connecting to my local host, and I cannot figure out why exactly it is reacting like this. It just started doing this one day, and randomly it will give me access although it says it is still "unknown", but I am tired of this and would like to fix it.
Since this website reqires that I have a "10" reputation to post images, I will have to describe it.
On the Startup/Shutdown tab in the administration page, it says:
The database server instance is unknown. --The "Start Server" button is faded out so that I cannot click it.
Startup Message Log
2013-07-11 08:57:51 - Workbench will use cmd shell commands to start/stop this instance
2013-07-11 08:57:51 - Status check of service 'MySQL' returned error: Not found
2013-07-11 08:57:51 - Status check of service 'MySQL' returned error: Not found
2013-07-11 09:00:55 - Status check of service 'MySQL' returned error: Not found
2013-07-11 09:00:55 - Status check of service 'MySQL' returned error: Not found
2013-07-11 09:02:01 - Status check of service 'MySQL' returned error: Not found
Then on the server status tab in the administration page, it says:
Name: mysqld#localhost
host: localhost
server:unknown
status: unknown
Connection
There is no connection to the MySQL server. This functionality requires an established connection to a running MySQL server to work.
If anyone can help out, that would be great!
Thanks
I had this problem on my Windows 8.1 machine and it turned out to be problems with the file permissions.
To repair it I went into the folder at "C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.6" and right clicked on the "data" folder and selected properties. Clicked the security tab and clicked edit. From there click the ADD button then the ADVANCED button and finally the FIND NOW button. In mine I added users, administrators, and "ALL APPLICATION PACKAGES". I granted full control to the users that were already listed for the data folder and the users, administrators, and ALL APPLICATION PACKAGES.
After the permissions were repaired I opened a command prompt as administrator and changed to the "C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.6\bin" directory cd "C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.6\bin". From there you can execute mysqld --install which installs the MySQL service.
More information about installing the mysql service on windows can be found at http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/windows-start-service.html
[edit] Please note that if you are using a different version of MySQL than the path to the MySQL data directory and bin directory may be different on your windows machine.
The error message says it: the service with the name MySQL cannot be found. So probably your MySQL service has a different name? Do you have a service at all? Starting mysql manually from the bin folder is just that: manual. There is no service involved, hence WB cannot manipulate the run state.
When you install MySQL with the MySQL installer you have everything in place within a couple minutes and it works right from the start.
So first check if you have a service running for your MySQL server and stop starting it manually. If there's a service take its name and enter it in the Windows Service Name field of the configuration manager:
Note that MySQL Workbench can manage your server only if it is installed as a Windows service.
I had this problem on my Windows 8.1, and I solved it updating my workbench to Version6 with "mysql-installer-web-community-5.6.16.0.msi" from the official page of mysql
I have found reinstalling all MySQL products a better alternative, because some of the solutions on the internet will make another instance of your mysql server along with mysql56, which might mess things up for a beginner.
Remember to keep database files and configuration undeleted during the reinstallation.
I had problem on MAC.
Please ensure you have installed mysql and its running. Because installing only workbench app, will not install mysql service. First install mysql and run the service.
In my case, I tried with brew
brew install mysql // installing mysql
brew services restart mysql // restart service after installing
mysql --version // check version
