Everything was working fine, I had Windows 8 and MySQL 5.6 workbench.
Yesterday, I upgraded to Windows 8.1 which made the PC run better but messed up the MySQL.
When I enter the workbench I can see my old connection but by clicking on it I get:
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:
1. Check that mysql is running on server 127.0.0.1
2. Check that mysql is running on port 3306 (note: 3306 is the default, but this can be changed)
3. 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)
4. 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 host address you're connecting from.
Well, Uninstalling workbench and re-installing it did the trick.
All Schemas were not deleted
Reinstalling the mysqld service will indeed get the database server to start up again, but you will find that your databases are missing, as are all your user details!
Under Windows 8, MySQL stores its databases under C:\ProgramData\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.5\data while under 8.1 it has all moved to C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.5\data.
The quick solution to this is:
Stop the mysqld service via MySQL Notifier in the task bar
Copy C:\ProgramData\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.5 to C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.5
Restart the mysqld service via the Notifier.
Hey presto, your databases and user credentials are back.
After upgrade to Windows 8.1 you either need to run the MySQL config wizard
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/mysql-config-wizard-starting.html
But I could not get that to work, so had to reinstall the MySQL Server.
Then to install it as a service, and point to my earlier databases:
mysqld --install MySQL --defaults-file=C:\MySQL\data\my.ini
Check it's working by running
mysql -u username -p password
show databases;
In my case, the service of mysql was missing. Reinstalling the service with the following command:
mysqld --install [Instance Name] --defaults-file=[My SQL Configuration File]
so, if my install the service, with MySQL is the instance name, and D:\MySQL\my.ini was my previous configuration file, I executed the following command:
mysqld --install MySQL --defaults-file="D:\MySQL\my.ini"
Then start the service as usual. That should do the trick.
Note: You have to execute those command in a command prompt with elevated privilege.

When attempting to connect to remote MySQL server from my Windows machine using MySQL workbench - I get an error about connecting to localhost (unsure where the software is picking up localhost). However when I attempt to connect through an SSH tunnel it connects just fine (I cannot use this for the software I am creating though)
when I run netstat on the server:
netstat command
...(more entries)
the bind address has been altered in mariadb and mysql configs. if there are any more configs people would like to see to help with solution please let me know. I have also set up the user in mysql to allow remote privileges:
mysql users
I am pretty confused.
I am trying to create a project with mysql. For the past two days I had been using XAMPP server for the mysql server and mysql workbench to use it and it has been working perfectly. Today after having to restart my pc for a windows update, when I turned on the XAMPP mysql server and tried going to my connection in mysql workbench, mysql workbench is giving me an error
Could not connect; Server may not be running Message: Lost connection to mysql server at 'waiting for initial communication packet'. system error 10060
I have tried multiple solutions; Changing the port of the mysql server. Using a different username and password, the root username. And have tried restarting my computer multiple times to fix the problem. If any more information is needed to find the problem I will update this question to provide more information.
UPDATE 1:
I left my laptop running and when I returned the workbench had connected successfully. I believe the problem comes from restarting the pc as the day after I posted this question I restarted my pc to fix a problem and I am currently having the same situation.
Maybe the problem is the Windows Firewall or the Antivirus.
If the server is running all the time and the service not stop, the port is blocked.
Check if the default port is Listening:
C:\Windows\System32>netstat -an |find "3306"
Or you can use the Microsoft Tool PortQry.exe download from:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=17148
Example of use:
C:\PortQryV2>PortQry.exe -n 127.0.0.1 -e 3306
Querying target system called:
127.0.0.1
Attempting to resolve IP address to a name...
IP address resolved to WF-SA02
querying...
TCP port 3306 (unknown service): LISTENING
C:\PortQryV2>
Might be an SSL problem. The problem is: XAMPP does not use SSL and MySQL Workbench uses SSL as a default setting.
You can select "If available" in the Use SSL dropdown box of the SSL tab of the connection pane. Use the tool icon in the startup window to edit already existing connections. Works in MySQL Workbench 8.0.28+
I'm trying to connect to mysql workbench but I get the following error
Error Message
Cannot Connect to Database Server
Your connection attempt failed for user 'root' from your host to server at
127.0.0.1:3306:
Could not open database.
Please:
1. 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
When I Test Connection, the parameters are correct, and actually I can enter and manage database in console.
When I installed Mysql for first time I could enter to Workbench one time and if I closed Workbench I had to restart my PC to connect another time.
I reinstalled 2 or 3 times Mysql server and Workbench and now I cannot connect from Workbench even once.
I faced similar issue and resolved it by following these steps:
In the terminal, execute this command
mysql -u root -p -h localhost -P 3306
Enter the password
This will be displayed
Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 18
Server version: 8.0.16 Homebrew
Now do,
ALTER USER 'root'#'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY 'root';
Now you should be able to login and connect to DB in the workbench with password 'root'
I don't know if it helps anyone, but I had the same problem on windows after updating from MySQL 5.7 to 8.0.
The solution for me was to go to services.msc, stop the MySQL service and start the "MySQL80" service instead.
Then I restarted MySQL Workbench (run as admin) and it worked.
Please make sure that You have Downloaded MySQl server while dowloading MySQl workbench from MySQl installer (if you have checked Custom download)
I had the same issue a few days ago. As I could see in the original question, there has been multiple MySQL installation on the same computer - the same flow I tried after failing in the first attempt.
In the case we are trying to reinstall MySQL, we should be aware of remaining hidden files after MySQL has been uninstalled for the first time. In order to remove them all (and make one successful installation), we should:
Make hidden files visible on your computer (instructions)
Delete all files related to MySQL after choosing uninstalling of the MySQL (I had to check C://ProgramData hidden folder)
Try a new installation
I think that during the first installation, I didn't have all required dependencies on the computer (for example Python) and the installation failed. After installing it, uninstalling the MySQL, and taking steps from above, I finally managed to run it successfully :)
I hope this could help someone! :)
This solved it for me (MAC OS)
Open MySQL from System Preferences > MySQL
Click 'Stop MySQL Server' if the server is running
Select 'Initialize Database'
Type your new password.
Choose 'Use legacy password'
Start the Server again.
Now connect the MySQL Workbench
I am running Windows 7 Home Premium (yuck). I have MySQL already installed. The port I am using for various MySQL projects is 3306. I have used MySQL Workbench to create a database for a planned Drupal site. When I login as administrator and try to install WAMP, the installation program asks me to specify the port for MySQL. I enter 3306 and receive the error: "It seems you do not have enough permissions to bind to the port or the port is already taken by another application. Please select another one." When I try a different port and complete the installation, there are no servers listed for me to start. Is it possible to convince WAMP to allow me to use 3306, which is my preference? Thanks.
Switch of all other running programs, for example - skype. And restart your wamp server
I'm trying to learn the apache / mysql / php stack bundled with XAMPP. I can't connect to the MySQL server using the MySQL workbench:
Your connection attempt failed for user 'root' from your host to server at localhost:3306: Can't connect to MySQL server on '127.0.0.1' (61)
Thinking it's a port problem, I check the port directly in Terminal with the command telnet 3306:
telnet: connect to address 127.0.0.1: Connection refused
Obviously the problem isn't with the Workbench, but something to do with the port connection itself.
I'm using:
OS 10.8 Mountain Lion
XAMPP 1.7.3
MySQL workbench 5.2.47
Sorry all, I'm posting my own question and answer. I had this problem and it nearly destroyed me because I could not find the correct answer anywhere on the interwebz. I finally overcame it, and wanted to post my findings in case it helps another befuddled traveler.
It turns out when you install XAMPP and choose to run the security routines, it automatically turns on a setting in the MySQL preferences to block connections on port 3306 from localhost. To fix this, open my.cnf in the xampp folder xamppfiles/etc. Look for the setting "skip-networking" which tells mySQL to block the port 3306. Comment this out by adding a pound sign so it is "#skip-networking". Now, the telnet command should work, and you should be able to use the Workbench.
Hope this is helpful for somebody!If it fixes your problem, give me a shout at #mrcheeks3185.
I faced same problem but I solved it.
I changed the MySQL workbench port to 3307 in the file below
C:\ProgramData\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.7\my.ini
and keep the default port 3306 for XAMPP
for mac you should create only a user with password and grant access(in my case a I use root with password) and turn on ip address and use that address to connect with a client like navcat or workbench I use XAMPP 7.3
ip address network given by XAMPP
connection config in navcat
test connection
I found that file after mount the image disk created for xampp, there you can find new_disc_mounted/etc/my.cnf
If you do not have my.cnf you can first go to xampp->mysql->bin->my.ini, copy
the contents of the file, next create my.cnf (in the bin folder) and paste the content to the file you just created.
This works for me. I had the same problem. Now I can use both Xampp and Workbench on one PC.
There is an issue: when you start workbench you get some warning that some features may not work properly since database is not fully compatible.
If changing ports won't work. What I did, I just make sure both XAMPP and MySQL Workbench don't start the server at the same time. Just go to MySQL Workbench, Select Server > Startup/Shutdown > Shutdown.
its due to different version of xampp, open log file and check last status of mysql there is showing error find it or remark/change it
Actually XAMPP and MySQL workBench might be using same port an are conflicting "3306" in so you are getting that error
Please try changing the workBench's default port number to other number and try again
