phpmyadmin (wamp) not working anymore - mysql

I've played a little with php and data bases a few weeks ago and it worked perfectly. Now, when I tested the same thing again, I realized that it is not runnable anymore. More exactly, when I have to access the data base, I get the following type of notice:
Warning: mysqli_connect() [function.mysqli-connect]: [2002] A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not (trying to connect via tcp://localhost:3306) in E:\wamp\www\test\login.php on line 18
When I try to open http://localhost/phpmyadmin/ I get a blank screen
Please give me the possible explanations

You probably have another application using port 3306, another MySQL running perhaps?

The Possible explanation is
i suspect you have installed and uninstalled wamp? in that case you need to check you driver/etc/.hosts file under system32 ("Google it for exact path") :) and you have to make sure there exist only one value for
127.0.0.1 localhost
As it said above you need to check your running port has already used by another instance by checking
netstat -a and see if 3306 is Listening
Check on windows services that MySQL ,Apache are running or able to run automatically or manually from the service
suggest uninstall properly ==> delete all inside the wamp folder except www --takecare

MySQL not downloading correctly

I downloaded the MySQL Workbench 8.0 CE and can't connect to local host. I tried to make a connection and when I 'Test Connection' I get hit with an error message of 'Failed to Connect to MySQL at 127.0.0.1:3306 with user root' with 'Unable to connect to localhost' below it. I tried to find ‘MySQL’ in system preferences->services but it doesn’t come up. Someone suggested that means that it didn’t download properly but I don’t know why it didn’t download properly. I have tried to redownload it several times now and the connection issues keep happening. I am working on Windows. Someone suggested typing 'mysql -h localhost -P 3306 -u root -p' into the terminal. Do they mean the command prompt? Then I tried typing 'netstat -lnp | grep 3306' into the command prompt and it said 'grep' is not recognized as an internal or external command.
If anyone has any help I would really appreciated it. I have been lost for several days now and have no idea why this isn’t working.
Thanks
I would say that this might fix your problem,
try to uninstall all the previous installation like workbench or xampp or any other app that you might use for MySQL, using revo uninstaller or IOBIT , something like that.
Download xampp app from this link https://www.apachefriends.org/xampp-files/8.0.0/xampp-windows-x64-8.0.0-3-VS16-installer.exe and then install it,
it will show a warning but hit ok and next.. and leave it finishing installation,
allow its access and hit start on them booth and see if thet work , on apache and MySql,
then to test it properly go to web address on local host http://localhost/phpmyadmin/ (after running the xampp apace and MySQL services)
As you see there it looks that everything is working fine,
Now we start with workbench (close all services to make sure that
they wont cause any error, just stop booth 2 of them)
I would highly recommend you the community version, on this link https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/file/?id=499590 405MB file,
Click next,
There will be a warning about visual studio and python, but I guess it will be ok, you didn't mentioned that you are working with any of them
Click on execute and finish them installing successfully.
Now you hit next and create a password ex: localhost123#MYSQL
And hit execute,
Execute and finish
And you start the workbench, meanwhile start the services of xampp and start workbench, running xampp it gives me an error,
Go to task manager and kill this process as shown: then close and reopen xampp, then start services, check on localhost to ensure and open workbench again,
and check it

mysql error 2005 - Unknown MySQL server host 'localhost'(11001)

I was using mysql 5.6.11,it usually turned down and show me this:
2005 - Unknown MySQL server host 'localhost'(11001).
Currently my resolution is to turn off the network,than it return to normal.I had searched a lot,but no answer is revalent to it.So,does anyone knows the reason?
ERROR 2005 (HY000): Unknown MySQL server host 'localhost' (0)
modify list of host names for your system:
C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
Make sure that you have the following entry:
127.0.0.1 localhost
In my case that entry was 0.0.0.0 localhost which caussed all problem
(you may need to change modify permission to modify this file)
This performs DNS resolution of host “localhost” to the IP address 127.0.0.1.
I have passed through that error today and did everything described above but didn't work for me. So I decided to view the core problem and logged onto the MySQL root folder in Windows 7 and did this solution:
Go to folder:
C:\AppServ\MySQL
Right click and Run as Administrator these files:
mysql_servicefix.bat
mysql_serviceinstall.bat
mysql_servicestart.bat
Then close the entire explorer window and reopen it or clear cache then login to phpMyAdmin again.
The case is like :
mysql connects will localhost when network is not up.
mysql cannot connect when network is up.
You can try the following steps to diagnose and resolve the issue (my guess is that some other service is blocking port on which mysql is hosted):
Disconnect the network.
Stop mysql service (if windows, try from services.msc window)
Connect to network.
Try to start the mysql and see if it starts correctly.
Check for system logs anyways to be sure that there is no error in starting mysql service.
If all goes well try connecting.
If fails, try to do a telnet localhost 3306 and see what output it shows.
Try changing the port on which mysql is hosted, default 3306, you can change to some other port which is ununsed.
This should ideally resolve the issue you are facing.
Follow these steps to fix this error
Use \connect root#127.0.0.1 instead of \connect root#localhost
if it doesn't work then go to C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts and check the IP address attached to host name.
use that IP, so it will be.
\connect root#the_ip_address_you_found

Cannot access mysql by command line on Zend server on Windows 7

I recently installed the latest Zend Server CE 5.6.0 SP4 on Windows 7 complete with php and mysql.
At first the Zend Server wouldn't work as I think there was some conflict with ports with my Zonealarm firewall. I deactivated the firewall, rebooted tried again and it worked so then reactivated the firewall. Not sure if the firewall has now found an alternative port. I don't really know much about those things. I think the ports it's on are 80 and 10061 but not too sure.
Anyway, I'm working through a PHP/Mysql book where it shows how to connect to the mysql database using the command line without a password. The first suggestion was:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Zend\MySQL51\bin" -u root
That didn't work so I manually navigated to the MySQL51\bin folder then typed mysql.exe -u root. It then gave an error Error 2003 (HY000): Can't connect to MySQL on 'localhost' 10061
I tried turning the firewall off and trying again but still no luck.
Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks for any help

Although this is an old post, it was one of the top hits searching for this problem. I found a solution that works on current MySql55 installation under ZEND. In the Zend installation folder (on Windows, hopefully same on others), Zend\MySql55\bin there's a file "MySQLInstanceConfig.exe".
If you run that, it let's you force a change to the password, and then (for me) the command line worked.

MySQL Workbench: "Can't connect to MySQL server on 127.0.0.1' (10061)" error

I apologise.. I know this question has been asked many times before, but I've tried lots of suggestions, and simply can't find a solution.
The problem: I have a MySQL database running on a hosted server.
I have to use SSH to connect to it, and I have the relevant Public and Private Key files.
I specifically want to use the PC version of MySQL Workbench, to access this database, for running queries, checking data, etc.
If I run Sequel Pro on a Mac, it connects fine, and I can browse and query the database. No problems.
If I run the trial version of SQLyog on a PC, it also connects fine. No problems.
But if I try to connect use MySQL's own "MySQL Workbench" application, using exactly the same settings and SSH Private Key file, it refuses to connect, throwing the well-known error:
Can't connect to MySQL server on 127.0.0.1' (10061)
I find it frustrating, as, in SQL Workbench, I specified the "MySQL Hostname" to use, db01.mysql.vm.MyHostingServer.net, but Workbench seems to ignore it, and demand to connect to 127.0.0.1 instead.
(I have read that Workbench says it needs the Public key file, but actually means the Private key file... and I have tried with both. I've also tried with MySQL Workbench on a Mac, but that crashed all over the place, simply when I was typing in server names and passwords.. it was a mess !!)
The hosting service I've gone with gives me limited permissions for changing MySQL settings, and given that Sequel Pro and SQLyog can connect successfully, I don't want to start messing about and changing things randomly.
Any ideas...?
Maybe you are not allowed to start the service "MySQL 55". Set the login information of Service "MySQL 55" as local!
To see the list of aviable services in Windows 7:
Open a run box
Type services.msc and press return.
Find the service MySQL55
A right click of the MySQL55 Local Service shows Properties -> Log On
Even I had same problem, The reason was mysql service was not getting configured properly, when I installed it through 'MySQL installer'. Also it was not starting, when I tried to start the service manually.
So in my case it seemed be a Bug with the 'MySQL Installer', as editing the install path to a different one when the 'Developer default' was selected, the problem occurs.
Solution (Not exactly a solution):
Uninstalled the MySQL all products (completely)
Reinstalled, this time also I have selected 'Developer default', but didn't make any changes to the path or any thing. So the path was just 'C:\Program Files\MySQL' (the default one)
And just clicked Next Next...
Done, this time MySql was running fine.
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.
hope it will work for you as well.
Thanks!!!
I was having same issue, way i have resolved is:
opened the MySQL installer. i was having a Reconfigure link on MYSQL Server row.
Clicked on it, it does reinstalled MySQL Server.
after that opened MySQL Workbench, and it was working fine.
Try placing the host name (db01.mysql.vm.MyHostingServer.net) in your windows host (C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\host) file along with it's IP address and port number and see if that helps.
If you have installed WAMP on your machine, please make sure that it is running. Do not EXIT the WAMP from tray menu since it will stop the MySQL Server.
To connect to a new server, you click on home + add new connection. Put IP or webserver URL in new connection.
Just try to run the following command manually:
C:\wamp\bin\mysql\mysql5.6.17\bin\mysqld.exe --console
It worked for me :)
Ran into the exact same problem as OP and found that leaving the "MySQL Server Port" empty in the MySQL Workbench connection solves the issue.
I have tried all the method.
I will suggest you to reinstall it.

Failed to connect to MySQL at 127.0.0.1 in MySQL Workbench. System error 61

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.

I solved it! On a mac just go to spotlight search on the top right of the screen and type Mysql. Turn it on.
