MySQL Workbench error when adding a connection - mysql

I'm new to mac and mySQL. I installed mySQL 5.6.14 and mySQLWorkbench 1.6. I turned on mySQL in system preferences.
Then I went into workbench, clicked to add a new connection and filled in the details: host is localhost; username is root; password is empty/nothing. Tested the connection and its all good.
Clicked OK and got this error: Exception caught while processing action from home screen: error calling Python module function WbAdmin.autoDetectLocalInstance.
I also can not access mySQL from the terminal.
I've googled and can't find anything. Has anyone got any ideas of what could be wrong something I could try to fix it.

I've had de same problem. For me the solution:
Check that you have the file /etc/my.cnf
if you don't have sudo cp my-default.cnf on the terminal
Try to put password Virlli$ sudo /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'password'
Restart Mysql and Workbench
for Mysql :sudo /usr/local/mysql/support-files/mysql.server stop

If you are a mac your default password is root . Same as the username.

I've had the same problem. I solved this issue by getting settings section from main window and then connecting from appeared connection from the main window.

Unable to access localhost/phpmyadmin

I've installed a LAMP stack, MySQL-server, apahe2, PHPMyAdmin, but unable to access is using localhost/PHPMyAdmin. I can access MySQL using the terminal. But not through PHPMyAdmin.
I also checked /var/www/html, no PHPMyAdmin folder is present.
I once deleted it by mistake, I think the issue is from there.
This is the output :
Try this In Terminal :
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 stop
sudo /opt/lampp/lampp start
if it's not working try to change the port of phpmyadmin to 3306 to 3307
Hoping it will be useful

MAMP MySQL Cannot connect: invalid settings.

I've run into a issue in my MAMP instillation, I didn't change anything it just happened. I start MAMP perfectly fine and it gives the green light that the MySQL server is up and I can connect to it from the terminal using the mysql command. However when I try and open phpMyAdmin I get this error:
Error
MySQL said: Documentation
Cannot connect: invalid settings.
phpMyAdmin tried to connect to the MySQL server, and the server rejected the connection. You should check the host, username and password in your configuration and make sure that they correspond to the information given by the administrator of the MySQL server.
I didn't change the default username and password and have subsequently tried to reset them to root and root which is what phpMyAdmin thinks they are. However I still get this error. The host is still set to localhost. I've tried uninstalling and reinstall MAMP to no avail.
Change these two lines in config.inc.php file.
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] = '127.0.0.1';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['port'] = '8889';
This should solve the problem.
Seems like a lot of people where having this error recently.
MAMP had changed the PHP toggle in the preferences pane to 7.0.8, just had to switch it back to 5.6.10.
You need to reset the mysql password for mamp.
I found that tech-otaku explains it well.---https://www.tech-otaku.com/local-server/resetting-mamp-mysql-root-user-password/
What he basically says in the link: Stop the servers. Then using the terminal:use the skip-grant-tables command, then --skip-networking command, and flush privileges command. He goes into more detail for the steps on his website.
P.S- You can also stop the mysqld server from the activity monitor. Applications/utilities/activitymoniter (search:mysql)
Find default mysql host, root and password using mamp on mac
I got this error too. I followed the path below to find out the default root, host and password information.
/Applications/MAMP/bin/mamp/index.php
*my $source = 'DBI:mysql:database=test;host=localhost;
my $user = 'root';
my $password = 'root';*
$db = new mysqli("localhost", "root", "root", "MyDatabaseName");

Can't connect to fresh mysql; password issue?

I'm new to setting up my own database server and linux server, but I'm working on a project that needs to use phpCake and mysql. I have a turnkey linux install of LAMP, with phpCake installed on it. My Cake install is fine, however I can not get into mysql.
mysql command yields error 1045, access denied for user root#localhost using password: no
mysql -u root -p
'rootpasswordhere'
yeilds the same thing, except using password:yes
I've read many fixes involving stoping mysql and setting a new password. I've had none of those work for me. The mysql stop command is denied in the same way the mysql command is. When I use service stop mysql my input cursor gets strange and no longer captures any input.
I'd love any help or input. I'll try out any of the fixes out there again and detail what happens. I'm sorry if this has been answered before, but trying the fixes I've found over the last few hours don't seem to work. Unsure if it is me, or my actual problem.
Thanks!
Depending on which linux you are running:
Stop service:
sudo service mysqld stop
Run these commands to write a temporary SQL file (/tmp/my.sql):
sudo echo "UPDATE mysql.user SET Password=PASSWORD('MyNewPass') WHERE User='root';" > /tmp/my.sql
sudo echo "FLUSH PRIVILEGES;" >> /tmp/my.sql
Start the service with script:
sudo /usr/bin/mysqld_safe --init-file=/tmp/my.sql &
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------^ The ampersand runs the process in the background allowing you to continue using the terminal.
Now you should be able to connect with your new root password MyNewPass
Note: Be sure to a) change the root password and b) remove /tmp/my.sql once completed.

Getting Access denied error while installing phpmyadmin in ubuntu11.4

Im a newbie in ubuntu. Im getting an error while installing phpmyadmin in ubuntu11.4 server. It says
An error occurred while installing the database:
ERROR 1045 (28000):Access denaid for user 'root'#'localhost' (using password:YES);
I am sure that I used the correct password for root. I can login to mysql through putty.
Do I need to do anything with privileges?
Please help me to sort this issue.
I suggest:
mysql -h localhost -u root -p
and you typed something else. :(
pidof mysqld says what exactly? If nothing then sudo service mysql start and try
mysql -h localhost -u root -p
again.
Re-configure mysql-server:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure mysql-server
or
sudo dpkg-reconfigure mysql-server-5.1
whichever one is installed.
Once you reconfigure (and recover) your root mysql password, then
Reconfigure phpmyadmin
sudo dpkg-reconfigure phpmyadmin
i ran into the same issue and just figured my problem. I used an "ü" in my Root user's password. It seems like PHPMYADMIN can't handle the utf-8 set. So I altered the password to "abc" and it worked! Just dont forget to undo your temporary password :)
I got the same issue and installed my machine again, because I though I did something wrong. But same problem after re-installation of Ubuntu.
What works for me is to install mysql-server and phpmyadmin NOT as root user. I create a new user adduser admin and put them into the sudo group with adduser admin sudo. After that, I exit my ssh-connection with the root-account and login with the new admin-user. Now, I install both software-bundles and, suprise, all works fine.

Cannot connect to Database server (mysql workbench)

Could you help me solve this problem ?
When I try to click "query database" under database menu in Mysql workbench. it gives me an error:
Cannot Connect to Database Server
Your connection attempt failed for user 'root' from your host to server at
127.0.0.1:3306:Can't connect to mysql server on '127.0.0.1'(10061)
Please:
Check that mysql is running on server 127.0.0.1
Check that mysql is running on port 3306 (note: 3306 is the default, but this can be changed)
Check the root has rights to connect to 127.0.0.1 from your address (mysql rights define what clients can connect to the server and from which machines)
Make sure you are both providing a password if needed and using the correct password for 127.0.0.1 connecting from the host address you're connecting from
The issue is likely due to socket authentication being enabled for the root user by default when no password is set, during the upgrade to ubuntu 16.04.
The solution is to revert back to native password authentication. You can do this by logging in to MySQL using socket authentication by doing:
sudo mysql -u root
Once logged in:
ALTER USER 'root'#'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY 'password';
which will revert back to the native (old default) password authentication.
Now use password as the password whenever required by MySQL.
Try opening services.msc from the start menu search box and try manually starting the MySQL service or directly write services.msc in Run box
It looks like there are a lot of causes of this error.
My Cause / Solution
In my case, the cause was that my server was configured to only accept connections from localhost. I fixed it by following this article: How Do I Enable Remote Access To MySQL Database Server?. My my.cnf file had no skip-networking line, so I just changed the line
bind-address = 127.0.0.1
to
bind-address = 0.0.0.0
This allows connections from any IP, not just 127.0.0.1.
Then, I created a MySql user that could connect from my client machine by running the following terminal commands:
# mysql -u root -p
mysql> CREATE USER 'username'#'1.2.3.4' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
-> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'username'#'1.2.3.4' WITH GRANT OPTION;
-> \q
where 1.2.3.4 is the IP of the client you are trying to connect from. If you really have trouble, you can use '%' instead of '1.2.3.4' to allow the user to connect from any IP.
Other Causes
For a fairly extensive list, see Causes of Access-Denied Errors.
Did you try to determine if this is a problem with Workbench or a general connection problem? Try this:
Open a terminal
Type mysql -u root -p -h 127.0.0.1 -P 3306
If you can connect successfully you will see a mysql prompt after you type your password (type quit and Enter there to exit).
Report back how this worked.
I had a similar issue on Mac OS and I was able to fix it this way:
From the terminal, run:
mysql -u root -p -h 127.0.0.1 -P 3306
Then, I was asked to enter the password. I just pressed enter since no password was setup.
I got a message as follows:
Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g. Your MySQL
connection id is 181. Server version: 8.0.11 Homebrew.
If you succeeded to log into mysql>, run the following command:
ALTER USER 'root'#'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY 'password';
You should get a message like this:
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.19 sec)
Now, your password is "password" and your username is "root".
Happy coding :)
Run the ALTER USER command. Be sure to change password to a strong password of your choosing.
sudo mysql # Login to mysql`
Run the below command
ALTER USER 'root'#'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY 'password';
Now you can access it by using the new password.

I had to start Workbench as Administrator. Apparently it didn't have the required permissions to connect to my localhost database server process.
Right-click the Workbench shortcut and select Run as Administrator. In the shortcut's Properties window, you can click on "Advanced" and tick the box next to "Run as Administrator" to always run the Workbench with Admin privileges.
The error occur because the mysql server is not starting on your computer. You should start it manually. Do following steps:
Download and install wamp server according to your bit version(32bit or 64bit) in your computer(http://wampserver-64bit.en.softonic.com/) this link allows you to download wamp server for 64bit.
As soon as you install it you can double click and run it..(you can see a icon in the right hand of the taskbar.It may be hidden .so you can click the arrow which show you the hide apps runing).So click the icon and go to Mysql
Then go to Service and there you can find Start/Resume Services click on it..
And now it is done.Open mysql workbench and see.It will work..
I had same problem with Workbench on Ubuntu, problem was with permission.
Find Workbench app
Click button Permissions
Give all permission for this app
I struggled with this problem for awhile and did several reinstalls of MySQL before discovering this.
I know that MySQL server was running OK because I could access all my DB's using the command line.
Hope this works for you.
In MySQL Workbench (5.2.47 CE)
click Mange Server Instances (bottom right corner)
click Connection
in the Connection box select:
Local Instance ($ServerName) - root#127.0.0.1:3306 '<'Standard(TCP/IP)>
click Edit Selected...
under Parameters, Hostname change localhost or 127.0.0.1 to your NetBIOS name
click Test Connection
If this works for you, great. If not change the hostname back to what it was.
Even I faced a similar error when I opened MySQL Workbench.
The solution that worked for me was:
Click on the Start button on a Windows machine
Type services and press Enter
Find MySQL and click on it
On the top side of the left panel, you will find an option as Start the service
Click on Start which is visible as a hyperlink
Forr me reason was that I tried to use newest MySQL Workbench 8.x to connect to MySQL Server 5.1 (both running on Windows Server 2012).
When I uninstalled MySQL Workbench 8.x and installed MySQL Workbench 6.3.10 it successfully connected to localhost database
For those who ignored that the initial error message displaying is the following one:
The name org.freedesktop.secrets was not provided by any .service files
Make sure to install gnome-keyring using the following
sudo apt install gnome-keyring
I tried these steps -
Step 1 : Go to Ubuntu Software Center
Step 2 : Searched for MySql Workbench
Step 3 : And Click on Permissions
Step 4 : Enable Read, add, change or remove saved passwords
Then, enter Login Password
And then, I found that my problem solved
The problem is that MySQL server is not installed.
You can get the installer from here.
Then watch this 6-minute installation tutorial.
If then creating a new connection in MySQL Workbench is not working, make sure you run that connection as root as show below:
If you don't find your .ini file, check this answer (also written below).
Enter "services.msc" on the Start menu search box.
Find MySQL service under Name column, for example, MySQL56.
Right click on MySQL service, and select Properties menu.
Look for "Path To Executable" under General tab, and there is your .ini file, for instance, "C:\Program Files (x86)\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.6\bin\mysqld.exe" --defaults-file="C:\ProgramData\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.6\my.ini" MYSQL56
I was in similar situations before and last time I found it was some Windows update issue(not sure). This time, I opened MySQL workbench and found no connection to my local database. I cannot see my tables, but yesterday I could connect to the database.
I found that my cause is that, after letting my computer sleeping for some time and wake it again, the mysql service is not running.
My solution: restart the service named "mysql" and rerun the workbench. Restarting the service takes a while, but it works.
To be up to date for upper versions and later visitors :
Currently I'm working on a win7 64bit having different tools on it including python 2.7.4 as a prerequisite for google android ...
When I upgraded from WB 6.0.8-win32 to upper versions to have 64bit performance I had some problems for example on 6.3.5-winx64 I had a bug in the details view of tables (disordered view) caused me to downgrade to 6.2.5-winx64.
As a GUI user, easy forward/backward engineering and db server relative items were working well but when we try to Database>Connect to Database we will have Not connected and will have python error if we try to execute a query however the DB server service is absolutely ran and is working well and this problem is not from the server and is from workbench. To resolve it we must use Query>Reconnect to Server to choose the DB connection explicitly and then almost everything looks good (this may be due to my multiple db connections and I couldn't find some solution to define the default db connection in workbench).
As a note : because I'm using latest Xampp version (even in linux addictively :) ), recently Xampp uses mariadb 10 instead of mysql 5.x causes the mysql file version to be 10 may cause some problems such as forward engineering of procedures which can be resolved via mysql_upgrade.exe but still when we try to check a db connection wb will inform about the wrong version however it is not critical and works well.
Conclusion : Thus sometimes db connection problems in workbench may be due to itself and not server (if you don't have other db connection relative problems).
My problem was that the MySQL server wasn't actually installed. I had run the MySQL Installer, but it didn't install the MySQL server.
I reran the installer, click "Add", and then added MySQL server to the list. Now it works fine.
In my case I have just installed MySQL Workbench but after uninstalling MySQL Workbench and installing MySQL installer and is same for both 32 and 64 bit then after it working like a charm. Hope it could be useful.
I just use:
sudo snap connect mysql-workbench-community:ssh-keys
sudo snap connect mysql-workbench-community:password-manager-service
I also struggled with this problem for quite a while.
I came accross this interesting thread from MySQL forum: http://forums.mysql.com/read.php?11,11388,11388#msg-11388
I also came accross (obviously) some good SO Q/A.
It seems that the message mentioned in "user948950" 's question can be coming from a wide range of reasons: log file too big, incorrect mysql.ini file values, spaces in the file path, security/acl issue, old entries in the registry, and so on.
So, after trying for 3h to fix this... I abandonned and decided to do a good old re-install.
This is where this post from (again) this MySQL thread came in useful, I quote:
Gary Williams wrote: Hi Guys,
I've had exactly the same problem and this is how I got it working
for me, starting with a non working installation.
Stop the windows service for any existing mysql installation.
Uninstall Mysql.
As with most uninstalls, old files are left behind. If your directory
is C:\mysql\ etc then delete the innob, etc, files but leave the
directories themselves as well as any existing databases in 'data'.
If your directory is C:\Program Files\ etc, delete all the mysql
directories.
It's now worth running regedit to make sure the old registry entries are deleted as well by the uninstall. If not, delete them.
It's ok to use the new .msi installer (essential files only), however ....
Do not use their default install path! Some genius set a path with spaces in it! Choose the custom install and select a sensible path,
ie, C:\mysql (note from Adrien: C:\mysqldata for ... the data)
Do not choose to alter the security settings. Uncheck the relevant box and the install will complete without having to set a root
password.
I think I have remembered everything.
Good luck
Gary
I did get into troubles when simply copy/pasting the databases I had in my previous "data" directory to the new one. So the work around I found was to export each database (I know... a lot of fun) and then re-import them one by one.
FYI: I used the following command to import C:/<MySQLInstallDir>/My SQL Server x.x/bin/mysql -u root -p <dbName> < "<dirPathOfDump>\<dumpName>.sql", that is for instance C:/mysql/MySQL Server 5.6/bin/mysql -u root -p mySupaCoolDb < "C:\mySupaCoolDbDump20130901.sql"
2022 and beyond this works for me:
sudo nano /etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/mysqld.cnf
change
bind-address = 127.0.0.1
to
bind-address = 0.0.0.0
Then remember to restart mysql sudo systemctl restart mysql
Initially I was confused, but I was able to solve the problem.
If your workbench was downloaded through the Snap package manager you could easily use this command to solve the problem, very simple:
sudo snap connect mysql-workbench-community:password-manager-service :password-manager-service
Go to services.msc and find MySQL.
If "Log on As" section is 'Network Service', then:
Double click on the MySQL row to open a pop-up
go to "Log on" tab
Select Log on as: "Local System account" and check "Allow service to interact with desktop"
Voilà, now you can start your service on localhost and make sure you enter correct root/user password on your MySQL Workbench, and you are good to go.
If you are using snap to install mysql workbench, try this:
sudo snap connect mysql-workbench-community:password-manager-service :password-manager-service to allow sandboxed package to access password service
