I am using MySQL workbench to connect to my local server. Everything was running fine and suddenly I jumped in a connection refused errors. I tried restarting the server again and again. Clearing temp files and also restarted my machine. I found this post from which I tried a couple of things like net stop and stopping the process from the services list but in the services list it shows as below:
I waited like for 30 mins but still, the service is not stopped.
Also, below is the screenshot for MySQL workbench when I try to start the server:
Is there anything specific which I need to do in order to resolve this error:
So, I resolved my own problem in this way. I referred the documentation for this particular error and for my error which is of 2003 type it said that look for mysqld.exe process in task manager and if you don't find any then start the server. But, in my case I found 2 mysqld.exe processes running. So, I killed those processes and restarted the server. It worked!!
Might help someone someday :)
This might seem like a duplicate but trust me its not
So you guys are probably familiar with the error. The server doesnt start at the beginning and when i try to start it from Startup/Shutdown it gives this error.
Most of the people with this problem fixed it by starting MySQL server manually. Yeah but problem is mine was already working, i mean the server is on both in services and task manager. But for some reason im getting this error.
So my question is, how can i fix this?
- Checking server status...
- Trying to connect to MySQL...
- Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061) (2003)
- Assuming server is not running
Tried finding some logs but all says the same as above
Oh and i tried shutting the server down and opening again
Do you guys think that it might be happening because it is conflicting with some other sql program? I uninstalled everything related to sql but i might miss some stuff.
Programs i used to have are
-XAMP
-SQL Manager
-Microsoft SQL Server
-Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio
Like I said though, i uninstalled them all.
You need to check for all the mysql configuration files in /etc/mysql and check for any lines containing 127.0.0.1 and bound address or skip network and comment them.
Hope it helps.
It seems like for some reason it was having a conflict with other connection or port was just wrong on set up. I tried deleting all the connections i have and started a fresh one and it worked. Weird right? Here i was thinking when you uninstall MySQL, it woudl delete all the connections too.
I use Wamp server. when we start wamp server first time, it show shows green icon. but when try to access phpmyadmin, the icon goes to orange color. Apache server working fine. only Mysql service is getting stop automatically.
Even also their is no log generation in MySql log file.
it shows
2002 - No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. The server is not responding (or the local server's socket is not correctly configured).
i have gone through various solution but it's not working.
please help if some one facing same problem and having a perfect solution for it.
thanks.
after battling my way through every error message to try and get phpmyadmin running I am finally stumped by the last message. #2003 - The server is not responding. I think I know that its a problem between phpmyadmin and my installation of MySQL but I just cant find the hook.
I have already set the socket in the config.inc.php. I don't care if it works remotely i just need it to run locally for now. MySQL client connects just fine. I can do stuff from the command line so I know MySQL is configured and running. running typical LAMP stack CentOS 7 and mariadb. MySQL port is 3306
socket=/var/lib/MySQL/MySQL.sock (the stackoverflow web form keeps changing the case of MySQL so I am aware of the case sensitivity)
the main login page comes up fine but gives the 2003 error after typing in password. I know the correct password and I am typing it in correctly.
any help appreciated.
I'm running into a little trouble with MySQL Workbench.
This is the situation, I'm developing a database to query it remotely from Android devices. This is the first time I use MySQL Workbench, so I've followed this tutorial:
http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/databases/visual-database-creation-with-mysql-workbench/
I have no problem creating the EER diagram and generating the SQL script. The problem comes when I try to connect to a MySQL server. I get this error:
"Failed to Connect to MySQL at 127.0.0.1:3306 with user root. Lost connection to MySQL server at 'reading initial communication packet', system error: 61"
http://img101.imageshack.us/i/capturadepantalla201104i.png/ (if the link stops working tell me)
I've also tried using the Local Socket/Pipe connection method with the MAMP Socket in '/Applications/MAMP/tmp/mysql/mysql.sock', but it gives the same error. And I've also tried using MAMP port 8889 but still nothing.
So anyone knows how to fix it? And another question, can I connect from my Android device to my laptop(where the database is placed) without using MAMP? MySQL needs MAMP to serve queries? And the last thing, am I going into the right way? Or should I do it other way?
Thanks for reading.
I had the same issue, but part of your question is what fixed it for me:
Set connection = Local Socket/Pipe
Set socket path = "/Applications/MAMP/tmp/mysql/mysql.sock" (for me - I got the path from my MySQL log upon initialisation)
Running: MBP, OSX 10.8.3 (Mountain Lion), MAMP Pro
Can't really fathom any further what your issue may be, but perhaps double check your DB is properly initialised. But, perhaps this helps someone else :)
I typed: sudo /usr/local/mysql/support-files/mysql.server start
into the terminal and it started the MySQL server successfully and I was able to connect to MYSQL workbench.
You need to sure that Mysql process is running in your system. not sure in MAC but in windows it'called mysqld.exe
well take a look
http://lists.mysql.com/mysql/124371
Most commonly happens when database/server is not running. You need to check your server, or restart it. You can do so if you have mysql workbench under server administration. Check your manual for restarting or starting the server.
On osx 10.6 using mamp pro I solved this by allowing network access in the MySQL tab from the home window. Hope it saves someone the pain too
When trying to use the MySQL Workbench and connect through an SSH tunnel, you will get this error when your SSH connection does not complete successfully (e.g. improper host, password, key file, etc)
A good way to trouble shoot this is to separately test the the ssh connection from the machine you are trying to connect from and establish that you can do so successfully.
Try closing MySQL and running it as the admin. This worked for me.
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.
Thanks!!!
I solved it! On a mac just go to spotlight search on the top right of the screen and type Mysql. Turn it on.
