On my Mac PC, I have installed MySQL and SQL Developer as well as the MySQL Connector/J, the official JDBC driver for MySQL, so that the MySQL tab appears in the connection window of SQL Developer.
In the SQL Developer connection window, I am filling in the following details
Connection name: test
Username : root
Password: xxxxx
In the MySql tab within this connection window, the hostname and port is auto populates the values localhost and 3306.
There is a button called 'Choose Database', when I click on this button I am getting the below error message in red color
"Status : Failure - The server time zone value 'AEST' is unrecognized or represents more than one time zone. You must configure either the server or JDBC driver (via the serverTimezone configuration property) to use a more specific time zone value if you want to utilize time zone support"
How do I fix this issue so that I can connect to the MySql database from SQL developer?
PS: I am currently based in Sydney, Australia.
The problem got resolved by adding the below entries in the below mentioned file. In the new mysql database installations, this file would not be present so create the file so you will have create new plain text file with root privileges. When you start the MySQL server, this file will be read every time. The value specified below is a global parameter.
/etc/my.cnf
[mysqld]
default-time-zone='+10:00'
The single quotes should typed in not copy pasted.
And then restart the MySQL server.
Upvote to Nitin Puthran's answer.
If you have a Homebrew installation of mysql, my.cnf is in the Cellar mySql directory (not etc). For my version this is:
/usr/local/Cellar/mysql#5.6/5.6.41/my.cnf
[mysqld]
default-time-zone='+10:00'
And restart the mySql server.
I installed MySQL 8 with native packages on Mojave (10.14.6). As far as I can tell, there is no such thing as a my.cnf file. I couldn't get MySQL to recognize any my.cnf file, even by specifying one on the configuration tab of the MySQL settings applet in System Preferences. The only thing that worked for me was editing /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.oracle.oss.mysql.mysqld.plist and adding <string>--default-time-zone=America/Denver</string> to the Program Arguments section. Either restart your Mac or use the aforementioned applet to restart the server.
I imagine using a city name will only work if you have loaded timezone data into MySQL. mysql_tzinfo_to_sql /usr/share/zoneinfo | mysql -u root -p mysql worked for me. Otherwise an offset like the above answers should work.
I was installing MySQL installer on my windows 8 machine. During the server configuration process, it gets stuck at "starting server" and doesn't move any further. The log for the same is :

I have already tried the following:-
* Un-installed all the programs that were in any way related to MySQL.
* Deleted the MySQL folder from C:\Program Files.
* Cleared my registry.
and then re-installed the program, but all in vain.
The link MySQL Installer Stuck on "Starting Service" also shows the same problem but the solution provided is not working for me.
Here is what I did:
Installed it with mysql-installer-web-community-5.6.23.0.msi
For my purposes I selected "Custom" install with MySQL servers 5.6.22 - X64 and MySQL Connectors -> Connector ODBC/5.3.4 - 64
Next -> Execute -(ready to configure) -> Next
Config type: Development machine, all defaults (TCP/IP, Port: 3306, Open firewall)
Typed in MySQL Root Password
MySQL user Accounts -> Add user (username, password, OK) -> Next
Configure MySQL Server as a Windows Service (CHECKED)
Windows Service Name: MySQL56 (default)
Start the MySQL Serve at System Startup
THIS IS CRUCIAL (BUG IS HERE): Run Service as...
Standard System Account (CHECKED - but it will be disregarded and that is BUG)
Next -> Execute, Installation hangs on Starting server, so wait for a while to time out (or don't, your choice). When Dialog (might be covered with other windows) popup with message "Configuration of MySQL Server is taking longer than expected..., here click OK (so to wait longer)
Meanwhile go to Start -> Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services -> find MySQL56, right click on it -> Properties -> select Log On Tab AND HERE IS BUG -> Although Local System Account was selected, Somehow "This account: Network Service (with some password) was selected -> Select Log on as: Local System Account, Allow service to interact with desktop -> Apply -> Go back on general tab
On general tab click on "Start" button to start service and here it is! Service is started! Click on OK to close MySQL56 Properties dialog. Close Services dialog. Close Administrative tools. Close control panel.
And by that time (while you were closing those dialogs) when you look at MySQl Installer Dialog all steps are finished and checked: Starting Server, Applying security... Creating user accounts.. Updating Start menu link
Confirm with Finish -> Next -> Finish
That's it, happy MySQL-ing :)
The installer has another issue that I discovered today.
I had the same issue of the installer hanging on "Starting Server". However, after looking at the windows Event Viewer under Windows Logs -> Application, I discovered the error
"Too many arguments (first extra is 'Something').For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://www.mysql.com.".
The issue is that the installer cannot handle spaces in the windows service name (the name I used was Something MySQL). Simply change the name to one without spaces.
My issue was the special character in the password.
What I did to resolve being stuck at the Attempting to Start Server:
1. Use the installer to uninstall the previous version/installation
2. Validate and delete the existing MySQL Folders (DATA and App)
3. Re-install using the installer
4. Use a strong lengthy password with no special character password
This seems to be a chronic issue with MySQL Installer even now (v1.4.17.0). No matter what, every time I (re-)configure an instance on Windows 7 Pro or Server (2008 R2) it hangs at this point.
Simplest fix is:
When the installer hangs, open Windows Services and locate your mySQL service instance(s).
Double-click to open the/an instance and set Log on as: to Local System account and check Allow service to interact with desktop.
Optionally but preferably set the Recovery options to allow the service to resume after a problem.
Ensure that Startup type is set to Automatic (or whatever your preference is).
Click Apply and then click Start (or click OK and then start the service).
Return to the MySQL Installer and close any open warning about waiting for the process to complete and the process should continue.
Repeat as required for each MySQL Server instance.
Note: The installer seems to not enable the firewall exception that you may have selected when MySQL Server was first configured, so you may have to reconfigure again to open the firewall.
Side note: All-in-all, I'd have to say that after only two days of using the MySQL ecosystem, I'm less than impressed by how buggy things are. I would estimate that I had to set up two server interfaces about 6 times before everything worked as advertised. Workbench crashed on me 5+ times in the first day alone and I've had to traipse through any number of forums finding answers to stuff like this. Be prepared to do the same.
I had the same problem where it changed from Local System Account to Network Service, I changed it in the services back to Local System Account. This however did not work. I came across another forum that suggested having spaces in the services name was causing the problem so I took out the spaces and put underscores and sure enough it worked!
Change spaces to underscores!
Adding this for others.
I had install set up to configure windows service.
Looking in Windows Event Viewer => Windows Logs => Application I found:
C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.6\bin\mysqld.exe: Error while setting value '0.0' to 'lower_case_table_names'
Checking the init file in C:\ProgramData\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.6\my.ini
I found:
# Specifies the on how table names are stored in the metadata.
# If set to 0, will throw an error on case-insensitive operative systems
# If set to 1, table names are stored in lowercase on disk and comparisons are not case sensitive.
# If set to 2, table names are stored as given but compared in lowercase.
# This option also applies to database names and table aliases.
lower_case_table_names=0.0
I changed the value to 0, but on reinstall it reappeared as 0.0 so during the install and whilst the installation hanged at 'Starting Server' I edited the my.ini file, saved it, opened the services viewer and manually started the service MySql56. The installation then completed
The MySQL developers insist that running the MySQL service Logged On as NETWORK SERVICE IS the proper way to do it and that running it as LOCAL SYSTEM opens security holes. Okay, people, the root of the problem here is that NETWORK SERVICE can't access the locations where the log files are configured to be. I suspect this error occurs when a folder is specified (by clicking Browse) that the NETWORK SERVICE doesn't have access to. In my case, I specified the log files to be written under My Documents in a folder called MySQL Logs. So, (and this can be done while the installer dialog is open, it says the installer is taking a long time, and prompting you to Wait or Cancel,):
I simply granted full control of that folder to the NETWORK SERVICE by right-clicking on the folder, selecting Properties, selecting Security, then clicking Add, then typing in "NETWORK SERVICE". Then I selected NETWORK SERVICE and clicked the checkboxes Allow for Full control and Modify.
I've figured this one out. Mine was getting stuck at "Starting Server" too and Event Viewer had this -
The description for Event ID 100 from source MySQL cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.
If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event.
The following information was included with the event:
innobase_buffer_pool_size can't be over 4GB on 32-bit systems
So I figured out the problem was trying to start the 32-bit version of MySQL that comes bundled in with the installer on a 64-bit machine could have been the problem. Although, MySQL states it will install 64-bit of the database.
What I did was downloaded a 64-bit zipped version and unpackaged it into a temporary location. I re-ran the installer and let it install mysql. I replaced the contents of that with the other version from the temporary location without stopping the installer. Then I continued with configuration steps of the installer. It managed to start the service.

I found another solution: I was using a complex password with special characters in it. When I switch to using only alphanumeric characters in the password, it installed with no issues.
I faced the same problem. Completely removing MySql from my PC and then installing it from scratch fixed my problem.
How to remove MySql Completely:
Run Command Prompt as Administrator and execute the following command to stop and
remove MySQL service.
Net stop MySQL
Sc delete MySQL
Go to Control Panel >> Programs >> Programs and Features, select MySQL Server 5.x and
click Uninstall. (If you can uninstall MySQL from Control Panel)
Open Windows Explorer and go to Organize > Folder and search options, Select the “View”
tab and under “Hidden files and Folders” choose “Show hidden files and folders”. Now
explore the following locations and delete following folders.
C:\Program Files\MySQL
C:\Program Files (x86)\MySQL
C:\ProgramData\MySQL
And if this exists, delete it too:
C:\Users\[User-Name]\AppData\Roaming\MySQL
Restart your PC and reinstall MySQL. That’s all!
I made this problem disappear by upgrading from 5.7 to 8.0.
Specifically I:
Uninstalled MySQL 5.7 (through the "MySQL Notifier").
Downloaded and ran mysql-installer-web-community-8.0.14.0.msi from https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/windows/installer/8.0.html
None of the above solutions worked for me. I finally installed an older version. You can look at the version release history from here. Instead of installing the latest MySQL version 8.0.21.0, I instead installed version 8.0.18.0 from here. It finally worked.
I managed to solve this issue by selecting "Do not secure Data folder" option (a third one in the list) during installation. Explained here: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql-installer/en/server-file-permission-options.html
. Seems like installer could not get access to it
I was trying to reinstall MySQLServer on my local machine (Win7 32), using Windows (x86, 32-bit), MSI Installer.
When wizard configure server, after installation, gives the error "Configuration failed", with details:
mysql-server-5.5-win32:6 - Looking for valid template
mysql-server-5.5-win32:13 - Found valid template.
mysql-server-5.5-win32:20 - Attempting to process template.
mysql-server-5.5-win32:26 - Processed template.
mysql-server-5.5-win32:33 - Attempting to configure service.
mysql-server-5.5-win32:40 - Configured service.
mysql-server-5.5-win32:46 - Attempting to start service.
mysql-server-5.5-win32:100 - Unable to configure service.
mysql-server-5.5-win32:100 - Product configuration controller finished configuration.
Why does it happen?
Can it result from using a wrong "old" password that I put in the installation wizard, to set a new password? If yes - How can I clean up ALL previous settings of MySQL server?
Uninstall MySql and all his components excepted Oracle installer, re launch installer, do normally, when your error comes, finish the procedure of installation.
Next step, in start menu search "services", execute services administration tool, right click on the service "MySql Server XX", select "Connexion" tab and check "system account" on start user, launch the process and it would work.
I was struggling with upper problem over 3 days and I think there is a bug when you want to install this with local connection (not tick TCP connection) via .msi installer. After i selected this the configuration passed properly with no fail configuration. My sollution was to run this with set tick on TCP connection and then in server folder in my.ini file just uncomment line # skip-networking .
Other tips:
Turn off the firewall or add rule for installer to accept public/private net connections.
Under admin privileages use netstat -ab | more command to check ports usage
If u fail with earlier installations run services.msc command find your service (installer set is as defauls something like MySQL56,MySQL56_1 - depending on version) get the name of this service and under admin privileage run cmd and type sc stop "coppiedServiceName" if the service is running and later sc delete "coppiedServiceName"
In some forum says that if might be usefull to turn of windows defender or antivirus too
If you change default installation directory after reinstall check for old install files on C:\Program Files C:\ProgramData and get rid of them
Hope somebody find this usefull.
I had the same issue on Windows XP. The problem was caused by the localization. I had to change the path to the All User's AppData folder using regedit. The original path contained a non ANSI character.
The registry key is this:
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders"
The value name is this:"Common AppData"
The original value was: "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Data aplikací"
I changed it to: "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\AppData"
Then the installer succeeded.
NOTE: Uninstall MySQL first, then change the path, then install MySQL again.
I'm trying to execute the command in the Windows console:
C:\SphinxSearch\bin\indexer --all --config C:\SphinxSearch\sphinx.conf
But I get an error:
ERROR: index 'indexname': sql_connect: Can't create TCP/IP socket
(10093) (DSN=mysql://root:*#localhost:3306/test).
A data source is mysql. Before the server restart everyone works fine.
How can I fix it?
I'm having the same error 10093. It's a windows error code by the way. In my case it occurs when trying to run the indexer through the system account via a scheduled task. If I'm running it directly as administrator, there's not a problem.
According to the site above:
Either your application hasn't called WSAStartup(), or WSAStartup() failed, or--possibly--you are accessing a socket which the current active task does not own (i.e. you're trying to share a socket between tasks).
In my case I'm thinking it might be the last one, some security problem due to user SYSTEM being used in my scheduled task. I was able to solve it by using my admin user instead: in the scheduled task, I set to use my local admin account with the option to "Run when user is logged on or not" and "Do not store password". I've also checked "Run with highest privileges". This seems to have done the trick as now my indexes are rotating on schedule.
MySQL Community Edition 8.0.13 on Windows 10 Pro 32 GB x64
I am running the community server 8.0.18 (from the command line and not the service) and I need to set the max_allowed_packet value to higher than the default.
However,the server hangs on start with max_allowed_packet=16M, both when
change is made in the ini file, or
the value is passed as a command line parameter
Update:It seemed strange that the server would not start after a legal change - so I just saved the conf (my.ini) file without making any changes. And the got the same result
The ini file is as follows:
# The maximum size of one packet or any generated or intermediate string, or any parameter sent by the
# mysql_stmt_send_long_data() C API function.
max_allowed_packet=16M
The steps I followed are:
Install MySQL with advance logging and turn on all logs and without setting up a service
Start server by running mysqld : starts ok
Stop server by running mysqladmin -u root -p shutdown : shutsdown ok
change the value in the my.ini
Start server - server hangs
Full logging is on but nothing even gets written to the log. The last entry in the log is:
2019-10-24T14:47:56.916731Z 10 Connect root#localhost on using SSL/TLS
2019-10-24T14:47:56.916973Z 10 Query shutdown
2019-10-24T14:47:56.917224Z 10 Query
At this point, the only thing possible is to reboot, uninstall and then install again.
I have searched the forum for similar issues, and none of the previous suggestions apply/or work.
Issues resolved: Am posting an answer instead of deleting the question just in case it helps somebody else.
I had the conf (ini) file open in an editor (sublime/atom at different times) while I was starting the server. Finally I used notepad edited the file, closed it and the server started just fine.
I think the server is not able to load the conf file if it is open by another process.
