I'm a little green at this, and I hope the issue I'm having is a simple one...edit: new information at bottom
I need to make a connection to a remote mysql (Amazon RDS) database.
After following a few tutorials, I have unixodbc and libmyodbc installed and configured on the client, but when I try to connect via isql, I get the error
[08S01][unixODBC][MySQL][ODBC 5.1 Driver]Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)
[ISQL]ERROR: Could not SQLConnect
The most confusing part about this error is that I'm not trying to connect to a local database, but rather to a remote one. I do not have a mysql.sock file on the client...this isn't the issue though is it?
I'm sensing a configuration error but I'm just not sure what it could be.
If I run odbcinst -j then the output is:
DRIVERS............: /etc/unixODBC/odbcinst.ini
SYSTEM DATA SOURCES: /etc/unixODBC/odbc.ini
USER DATA SOURCES..: /root/.odbc.ini
The content of /etc/unixODBC/odbcinst.ini is:
[MySQL]
Description = ODBC for MySQL
Driver = /usr/lib64/libmyodbc5.so
Setup = /usr/lib64/unixODBC/libodbcmyS.so
UsageCount = 5
[MySQL ODBC 515 Driver]
Description = ODBC 5.515 for MySQL
DRIVER = /usr/lib64/libmyodbc5-5.1.5.so
SETUP = /usr/lib64/unixODBC/libodbcmyS.so
UsageCount = 3
Please note that I had to make up this configuration myself, I did a find for libmyodbc* and found these two .so files, thus set up a driver for each of them. A search for libodbcmyS* yields:
/usr/lib64/unixODBC/libodbcmyS.so.1
/usr/lib64/unixODBC/libodbcmyS.so
/usr/lib64/unixODBC/libodbcmyS.so.1.0.0
So, I don't know what else that configuration could be.
The content of /etc/unixODBC/odbc.ini is:
[target_db]
Driver = MySQL
Server = [servername.com]
Port = 3306
Database = [databasename]
Option = 2
User = [username]
Password = [password]
I've tried different options in "Driver", changing it from MySQL, to MySQL ODBC 515 Driver, to the path to the .so file (eg: /usr/lib64/libmyodbc5.so) and all yield the same result.
I'm running:
odbcinst -i -d -f /etc/unixODBC/odbcinst.ini
Followed by:
odbcinst -i -s -l -f /etc/unixODBC/odbc.ini
Followed by:
odbcinst -s -q
Which prints out the name of my connection, ie [target_db]
Then, I try the connect:
isql -v target_db user password
or just
isql -v target_db
and get the error shown above.
Anyone happen to know what I'm doing wrong here? Thanks a bunch-
EDIT:
Wanted to mention that I'm able to connect to the database from this server using the mysql command line tools.
I installed a local mysql database, and I'm able to connect to this using isql. It seems to be ignoring my odbc.ini file entirely, i have to enter a name with the command, ie isql -v test-database, but it still tries to connect to localhost despite my settings.
I feel as though I've tried everything but will keep at it and will post if i find a solution.
You could try to connect using the ip of your server instead of the dns entry on the "Server" line of odbc.ini.. Have you verified the driver is installed with phpinfo()?
Try to set the environment variable ODBCINI with the path of your odbc.ini file.
Keep in mind that the odbc.ini file you point to must be "write-accessible" by the user that is running the program (i.e. the user must have permissions to write in this file).
chmod g+w .odbc.ini did it for me since we run the DB with ORACLE-Start and the crs-User seems to be in charge

In order to load databases to mysql using terminal, as shown here, the sql file must be already in the server? Or I can upload from my local pc?
If you have mysql installed in your local machine: then you can at once run the import command from local machine's command line
mysql -hmy_server -umy_user -p database_name < full/path/to/file.sql
or you can just go to the directory where your sql file exists and run
mysql -hmy_server -umy_user -p database_name < file.sql
(password will be required after hitting Enter). This way the file will be imported into the remote database from your local computer.
No mysql is installed in your local machine: in this case you have to manually upload the file into the server with some ftp client and then connect remotely(e.g. by Putty) and run similar command
mysql -umy_user -p database_name < path/to/sql/file.sql
Yes. You can SCP or SFTP it to the server, but that command expects a file on the machine. In fact, that particular command expects it to be in the same directory that you are in.
Assuming the file contains SQL statements it can go anywhere. What is important is that the MySQL client you use to read the file can access the database server - usually on port 3306 for MySQL.
On the server, unless your local directory is accessible via network to the server (i.e. network share on another machine which is mapped to some address on your server - convoluted but essentially possible).
Basically, just upload the file to the server and run the command locally there.
NO, the SQL file or SQL script file generally can be present in your machine. When you execute the command, said sql script gets executed against the database.
mysql -u user -p -h servername DB < [Full Path]/test.sql
I'm trying to connect to a remote MySQL database via an Ubuntu server using a command like:
mysql -u oooo -p -h ooo.ooo.oo.oo
Then it just returned:
mysql: unknown variable 'log=/var/log/mysql/logfile.log'
I've checked that the file 'logfile.log' does not exist and I have no idea what is the next step.
Search your machine for a file named my.cnf. That file will probably contain your offending variable. Comment it out.
i was looking this: Copy mysql database from remote server to local computer
And it's the same case as me! but what i need use to connect with the following code:
mysql -u username -p -h remote.site.com
What is this "console"?
Thanks!
EDIT: If there's not possible to pull db by this method, exists some php script that you put db name, server and password and they pull automatically?
Assuming that you have mysql utilities on your machine.
Go to your start menu on your PC and click on "run"
Then when the dos command line come up type in your command.
mysql -u username -p -h your domain.com
If you get an error something like "command not recognized" you will have to first navigate to the mysql bin folder
For example
cd C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.6\bin
Then execute the mysql..... Command.
Note, the remote server has to accept the connection. If you get a connection rejects you may want to make sure your remote server allow such a connection.
"console" has different names which often mean the same thing:
Terminal window
DOS prompt
Command prompt
Command line
It's the program on your computer which allows to run commands by typing text instead of clicking on icons and buttons.
Cannot connect to MySQL Workbench on mac. I get the following error: Could not connect, server may not be running. Can't connect to MySQL server on '127.0.0.1' (61)
The help would be appreciated.
Thank You!
Ran into a similar issue and my problem was that MySQL installed itself configured to run on non-default port. I do not know the reason for that, but to find out which port MySQL is running on, run the following in MySql client:
SHOW GLOBAL VARIABLES LIKE 'PORT';
Go to System preferences -> MySql and check the state of your MySql instance.
There may be one or multiple reasons if you are not able to connect to MAC OS X MySQL server with MySQL-workbench.
When you press 'test connection' you might see this error. This could be explained briefly if you go step by step through 'Configure server management..'
On the basis of the red crosses you can filter out the real problem.
The most common problems are associated with the installation of MySQL-server. Few people either forget to install the server prior to installing MySQL-workbench. Some others would install a part of the product. Please check whether you have also installed all the 3 parts that comes with the MySQL-Server dmg(disk image) file which contains mysql-server package. Those 3 parts are: MySQL server, preference pane and startup item.
Note: If you haven't selected preference pane then you won't be able to start mysql server instance from the System preferences.
After you make sure that you have installed each item then you can check server instance of your native mysql-server. Open System preferences from dock and click MySQL. Then click Start MySQL Server to start the server instance. If the server instance is stopped, then MySQL-workbench won't be able to connect to the MySQL server.
If you are still facing issue, then you need to check the port of the connection which you are making. Default port is '3307' and NOT '3306'. You can check it with using the following command in mysql terminal:
SHOW GLOBAL VARIABLES LIKE 'PORT';
Please note that this process helps you to connect to the local instance. If you have to connect to a remote server, then you have to enter that specific IP and Port. Contact your server's administrator if you are facing the issue. As this question specifically states that the problem is related to connecting to the local instance, I am not writing checks that you may need to ensure.
This steps are all in the terminal:)->source
Step make sure your server is running:
sudo /usr/local/mysql/support-files/mysql.server start
Check MySQL version. "This also puts you in to a shell interactive dialogue with mySQL, type q to exit."
/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql -v
Make your life easier: "After installation, in order to use mysql commands without typing the full path to the commands you need to add the mysql directory to your shell path, (optional step) this is done in your “.bash_profile” file in your home directory, if you don’t have that file just create it using vi or nano:"
cd ; nano .bash_profile
paste in and save:
export PATH="/usr/local/mysql/bin:$PATH"
"The first command brings you to your home directory and opens the .bash_profile file or creates a new one if it doesn’t exist, then add in the line above which adds the mysql binary path to commands that you can run. Exit the file with type “control + x” and when prompted save the change by typing “y”. Last thing to do here is to reload the shell for the above to work straight away."
source ~/.bash_profile
mysql -v
"You will get the version number again, just type “q” to exit."
Check out on which port the server is running:
in your terminal type in: mysql
and then
SHOW GLOBAL VARIABLES LIKE 'PORT';
use everytime a semikolon in the mysql client (shell)!
now you know your port and where you can configure your server(in the terminal with mysql shell/client). but for a successful connection with MySQL Benchmark or an other client you have to know more. username, passwort hostname and port. after the installation the root user has no passwort so set(howtoSetPW) the passwort in terminal with mysql shell/client. and the server is running local. so type in root, yourPW, localhost and 3007. have fun!
Try restarting the mysql or starting it if it wasn't started already. Type this within terminal.
mysql.server restart
To auto start go to the following link below:
How to auto-load MySQL on startup on OS X Yosemite / El Capitan
In my case I had a previous mySQL server installation (with non-standard port), and I re-installed to a different directory & port. Then I got the same issue (in windows). To resolve, you click on home + add new connection.
If you need to know the port of your server, you can find it when you start My SQL command line client and run command status (as below). In windows it is via All Programs -> MySQL -> MySQL ServerX.Y -> MySQL X.Y Command Line Client
I had the same issue, I solved this with the following steps:
Install the MySql (DMG) from this link
If the mysql package comes with the file name "mysql-5.7.13...." and
"MySql.prefPane" then your life is really easy.
Just click on "mysql-5.7.13...." and follow the instructions.
After the installation is done, click on "MySql.prefPane" and checkout "Only
for this user" in the popup. We use "MySql.prefPane" to start the mysql
server as this is really imp because without this you will end up having
errors.
Click on Start MySql Server in the next dialog box.
OR
If you don't see "MySql.prefPane" in the package then follow these steps:
Click on package "mysql-5.7.13...." and this will show you one password as
soon as installation is done. That password is use to start the connection.
You can change it. I will let you know in a while.
After installation save the password (this is really important - you'll need it later), open terminal.
$ cd /usr/local/mysql/bin/
$ ./mysql -u root -h localhost -p
And then type the password from above. This should start mysql>
To change the password:
$ cd /usr/local/mysql/bin/
$ ./mysqladmin -u root -p password 'new_password'
Enter Password: <type new password here>
$ ./mysql -u root -h localhost -p
... and log in with the new password.
After this you can go to MySql workbench and test connection. It should connect.
brew services start mysql defualt set --bind-address=127.0.0.1 with /usr/local/Cellar/mysql/5.6.27/homebrew.mxcl.mysql.plist,so replace --bind-address=127.0.0.1 with --bind-address=* or --bind-address=0.0.0.0
for mac : check the compatible version of mysql server in workbench>preference>MySql
if it's the same version with your mysql server in: cd /usr/local/
I am using those commands on MacOs after getting the same error
sudo /usr/local/mysql/support-files/mysql.server start
sudo /usr/local/mysql/support-files/mysql.server stop
sudo /usr/local/mysql/support-files/mysql.server restart
I had the same problem. I removed mySQL completely, and reinstall it using homebrew.
I had same problem, but it worked for me.
check if you have mysql installed
If you don't have mysql installed, download from this link: https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/
follow this instructions to install
https://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql-osx-excerpt/5.7/en/osx-installation-pkg.html
You can test the connection without any problem.
(Sorry for my english, I agree fix me please)
I Hope I've helped.
Greetings.
I ran into the same scenario
I opened "System Preferences", clicked "MySQL", then clicked "Initialize Database" button. I entered a new password and saved it in a safe place.
After that i restarted the MySql Instance (in the System Preferences dialog as well).
After that i opened MySqlWorkbench and opened the default connection, entered the password i set before and: Viola, i can do whatever i want :-)
I had this same issue on Monterey. Make sure you're selecting the correct download according to your processor architecture.
Community download processor architecture
Also, for the Connection Method use the Local Socket/Pipe
connection method
Dropping this to share my experience.
I had the same problem and realise I didn't start MySql server.
The steps below shows how I was able to login:
To start your server, Go to Preference and find MySql.
Click on the instance tab to start the server
Afterward, return back to Mysql Workbench to start the Local Instance and you'll be connected.
Have fun !
I had similar issues in Mac OS Catalina and the easiest way to solve it is by downloading HOMEBREW package manager for mac. Follow the steps to install HOMEBREW and mysql server.
$ /usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
$ brew install mysql
$ brew tap homebrew/services
$ brew services start mysql
mysqladmin -u root password 'yourpassword'
Now try using mySQLworkbench it should work.
Whenever I try to start MySQL by typing
> mysql -u root
I get the error
ERROR 2003(HY000): Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061)
How can I solve the problem above? I just downloaded MySQL and unzipped it in the E: drive. I have not done anything else. Do I have to make a connection first? If so, how can I do that?
Here is the ZIP file that I had downloaded: mysql-5.7.15-winx64.zip
Here are the steps to start MYSQL Server (mysql-5.7.15-winx64) for the first time on Windows:
Create a new folder named "data" in MYSQL installation directory (i.e. in the same location as where "bin" directory is located. For me it is: C:\programs\mysql-5.7.15-winx64\mysql-5.7.15-winx64. This location will vary as per the location where you have extracted the MYSQL zip file)
From here I will use my MYSQL folder location as reference. Go to: C:\programs\mysql-5.7.15-winx64\mysql-5.7.15-winx64\bin and execute the command: mysqld --initialize-insecure or mysqld --initialize depending on whether you want the server to generate a random initial password for the 'root'#'localhost' account.
To start the DB, go to: C:\programs\mysql-5.7.15-winx64\mysql-5.7.15-winx64\bin and execute mysqld --console You can see the start-up logs being printed.
To connect to DB, go to: C:\programs\mysql-5.7.15-winx64\mysql-5.7.15-winx64\bin and execute mysql -u root -p. When prompted, Enter password if it has been set or else just hit "Enter" button to connect
The MySQL server can be started manually from the command line. This can be done on any version of Windows.
To start the mysqld server from the command line, you should start a console window (or “DOS window”) and enter this command:
shell> "C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\bin\mysqld"
The path to mysqld may vary depending on the install location of MySQL on your system.
You can stop the MySQL server by executing this command:
shell> "C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\bin\mysqladmin" -u root shutdown
**Note : **
If the MySQL root user account has a password, you need to invoke mysqladmin with the -p option and supply the password when prompted.
This command invokes the MySQL administrative utility mysqladmin to connect to the server and tell it to shut down. The command connects as the MySQL root user, which is the default administrative account in the MySQL grant system. Note that users in the MySQL grant system are wholly independent from any login users under Windows.
If mysqld doesn't start, check the error log to see whether the server wrote any messages there to indicate the cause of the problem. The error log is located in the C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\data directory. It is the file with a suffix of .err. You can also try to start the server as mysqld --console; in this case, you may get some useful information on the screen that may help solve the problem.
The last option is to start mysqld with the --standalone and --debug options. In this case, mysqld writes a log file C:\mysqld.trace that should contain the reason why mysqld doesn't start. See MySQL Internals: Porting to Other Systems.

If the command prompt does not work in Windows, try the following:
1) Open services in Windows.
2) Then check the status for Mysql and if you found status nothing or blank then start the mysql service.
3) After then see whether the mysql is start or not .If it shows started then try to check mysql working.
It has worked for me when cmd commands were not working.
Run the command prompt as admin and cd to bin directory of MySQL
Generally it is (C:\Program Files\MySQL\mysql-5.6.36-winx64\bin)
Run command : mysqld --install. (This command will install MySQL services and if services already installed it will prompt.)
Run below commands to start and stop server
To start : net start mysql
To stop : net stop mysql
Run mysql command.
Enjoy !!
maybe
E:\mysql-5.1.39-win32\bin>mysql -u root -p
Type
C:\> "C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.1\bin\mysqld" --console
to start the sql server and then test the client connection.
I was using MySQL Server 5.5 as a result I was missing the folder which majority of the answers made mention of in the bin folder. What I did instead was the following:
Open Explorer and make your way to C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.5\bin or your MySQL installation directory.
Run the executable application MySQLInstanceConfig and follow the images below.
This solved my issue and I was able to access the database without any errors.
Start mysql server by command prompt
C:> "C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.5\bin\mysqld" --console
Or alternative reach up to bin then
mysqld --console
It will start your server.
If you have mysql command line client available
click on it
it show enter your password :
Please enter your password.
Then you can access it.
You also need to configure and start the MySQL server. This will probably help
I tried following steps to run mysql server 5.6 on my windows 8.
Run command prompt as an administrator
go mysql server 5.6 installation directory (in my case: C:\Program Files (x86)\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.6\bin) copy that location
In Command prompt run "cd C:\Program Files (x86)\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.6\bin"
run "mysql -u root"
You need to run the server first. The command you use (in the question) starts a client to connect to the server but the server is not there so there the error.
Since I am not a Windows user (Linux comes equipped) so I might not be the best person to tell you how but I can point to you to a guide and another guide that show you how to get MySQL server up and running in Windows.
After you get that running, you can use the command (in the question) to connect it.
NOTE: You may also try http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html if you plan to use MySQL for web database development.
Hope this helps.
The error complains about localhost rather than permissions and the current practice in MySQL is to have a bind-address specifying localhost only in a configuration file.
So I don't think it's a password problem - except that you say you 'unzipped' MySQL.
Is that enough installation? What did you download?
Was there any installation step which allowed you to define a root password?
And, as NawaMan said, is the server running?
first thing you need to do is to start the mysql
for that you can use
E:\mysql-5.1.39-win32\bin>net start mysql (only when there a mysql running as service)
then you can execute
E:\mysql-5.1.39-win32\bin>mysql -u root
Run your command prompt as administrator.#
We can start MySQL service from windows command line using the below command.
net start mysql
Command to stop MySql service:
net stop mysql
Disable MySql service:
sc config mysql start= disabled
Command to enable MySql service(to automatically start MySQL service when the system starts up):
sc config mysql start= auto
Command to set the startup type to manual:
sc config mysql start= manual
How to restart MySql service?
There is no direct command to restart a service. You can combine stop and start commands like below.
net stop mysql & net start mysql
I was also having problem with starting MySql server but run command as mention right mark in picture . Its working fine .
mysql -u root -p
After entering this command in terminal, it will ask for password
Enter the password and you are ready to go!
there is one of the best solution do resolve this problem and it is going to work 100%.
as we know that server is a process so treat it like a process go to the task manager
in windows and see for services in task manager in that service see for Mysql and MS80 and try to start it manually by click on it and say run then will take some time.
go to your mysql workbench and click on start/shutdown then try to refresh the server status in server status option. it will load up thats it.
1.Open a command prompt as Administrator.
2.Go to MySQL installed bin directory in program files.
3.Copy the location of the bin directory from windows explorer.
4.In command prompt type cd and (paste the location) and do enter.
5.Type mysqld --initialize
6.Open services from the windows menu and sort the list by name.
7.Right-click Mysql and click start.
use the command "mysql -u root -p" in the bin folder path.
and give the MY SQL password which you have set earlier.
