I have a windows server where Plesk is installed with php & mySQL by default (from Hosting Provider). When I first got the server I remember I removed mySQL from Control Panel since I didn't need it, but after like one year, I came to a point where I have to create a Wordpress website, and therefore I am needing mySQL again.
Note also that there's two mySQL, one for Plesk (which I didn't uninstall), and another one for our databases (which I uninstalled long ago, but reinstalled later).
I went to Plesk under Database Servers, and I can see there's no Database Servers there... Then I try to Add Database Server with the following settings:
Hostname: localhost
Port: 3306
With Admin Username & Password...
But I am getting the following error:
Error: A database server with this combination of host address and port number is already registered.
Please note that this is surely different from the mySQL settings for Plesk since the port is different.
Do you guys have any idea how to resolve this issue? I've been stuck since a few days...
I appreciate your help guys that's urgent!
Thanks.
Looks like inconsistency in plesk database "psa" related to entity of database servers.
Most easy workaround it's to register new database server not as "localhost", but as "127.0.0.1" or some other name which can be resolved to localhost or other port.
Another workaround it's to look into psa database via "%plesk_bin%\dbclient.exe" --direct-sql --sql="select * from databaseservers".

My main problem right now is that I can't connect to the remote mysql server while developing on my machine. I'm trying to update a website that was previously developed by someone I do not know. I've been editing the site on my local machine but I need to access data from the mysql database that it has been using. I have the username and password that the site uses to connect to the mysql server. I can connect to it through phpmyadmin but I would like to work locally without publishing my edits to the server.
I found this here in SO and I tried running the scripts in phpmyadmin using my pc's IPaddress but I keep getting
Access denied for user 'username'#'localhost' (using password: YES)
even though I'm 100% sure I'm using the password that I used to login to phpmyadmin. I tried creating a new user but the login I'm using doesn't seem to have a Create User privilege either.
I understand that the previous developer might have a different "admin" account that has all the privileges but I have no way of knowing either.
I am a C# developer but I'm really new to MySql. Any help is greatly appreciated.
This may be a firewall issue. phpmyadmin listens on port 80 by default, but mySQL listens on port 3306. Please check the firewalls on your local PC (to make sure you can get out on 3306) and the server (to make sure you can get in on 3306).
I just set up a new MySQL database with the MySQL workbench & created a user for it with all necessary privileges. I am using this database for use with my php code. But I can't seem to connect to it on my live server (pages are hosted on windows server 2012). Everything works fine in my local environment with xampp and the new MySQL database is exactly the same as the xampp one. I think I am maybe using the wrong host name or something. As host name I copied the name that is displayed after "Host:" when you click on Server Status in MySQL workbench. The database name, user & password should all be correct. But when my code tries to access the db I get a "The domain page isn’t working. Domain is currently unable to handle this request."
You either have no network connection to the server at all or it is blocked due to firewall or routing misconfiguration.
If you do have network access in general, you might forgot to
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
or you have not enabled networking over TCP, the default is to listen only to localhost (on unix systems via unix sockets, on microsoft I guess it's simply TCP).
Read about the following configuration parameter which will solve your networking issue:
bind-address
If you have a very old MySQL server version, the parameter is enable-networking but it shouldn't be the case anymore.
I am trying to connect Power Bi (Desktop version) with my online amazon mysql database. It demands for following information once you try to establish connection
Server: server ip
Database: database name
Username: mysql username
Password: mysql password
First time I received a bit lengthy error, which was because of unavailability of mysql-connector-net-6.6.5.msi. So I followed this link to solve the issue
Microsoft Power BI connect to mysql
After installing mysql-connector I am facing another error.
Whats wrong? One of my mates has successfully connected using the same credentials that I am using.
Okay, I just figured this out for myself. I'm able to connect directly to a MySQL database on port 3306. As I understand, it would be more secure to go through an SSH tunnel, but this doesn't work yet with Power BI.
So here are instructions for connecting directly:
First, let's make sure that everything besides the PowerBI connection is working.
1) Download and install the correct version of the MySQL/Net Connector. Right now, version 6.6.5 is the one that works. But from other forums, and from within PowerBI itself, I linked to other versions that did not work. (You will know it isn't working, because you probably won't be able to even open Get Data/MySQL Database/Connect.)
2) See if you can connect remotely to your database through some well established utility like MySQL workbench. If you can't,
- look at ports on the remote server. Here's a cool utility to check ports&IPs: http://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/
- Check the permissions of the DB user. Realize that they may be affiliated with an IP address: 'username'#'ipaddress'. So that user can only connect for a particular IP.
- Check the bind address setting. In newer versions of mariadb, it should probably be commented out. I'm not sure about older version and pure mysql.
- other troubleshooting.
So after that's working, here are the settings which worked for me in MySQL:
go to Get Data/MySQL database/connect
Server: ipaddress:3306 (include ":port#")
Database: dbname
PowerBI interface. Select "Database" instead of "Windows"
Make sure you select Database instead of Windows.
Good luck.
Just a small tip. If you haven't already, restart the machine you just installed the connector on. I had to restart before it started working.
My solution for this was to add the port number to the server name/ip
eg. 192.168.0.1:4664
When I first set up MySQL Server in Netbeans everything worked well. Now one day I think I accidentally clicked something or my computer lost battery life when I was connected to MySQL Server, and after these event(s) I have not been able to connect to MySQL Server. I do not know for sure if either of the above events would have any effect on connecting to a MySQL Server database.
Anyway since these events I have found that I cannot "start" or "connect" to a MySQL Server databse. I am doing this all through Netbeans IDE.
Here is a picture of how I try to connect to my databaseL:
This is what the error message says after I click connect:
Unable to connect. Cannot establish a connection to jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/twitterdata using com.mysql.jdbc.Driver(Unknown database 'twitterdata'). The name of the database I am trying to connect to is twitterdata
How can I get reconnected to the MySQL Server database "twitterdata"?
I am not familiar with MySQL, databases, servers and I have no idea how to get reconnected. If there is any other helpful information that I should provide let me know.
What MySQL tools can I run to find my problem?
Why would the error message tell me that the database is unknown?
If I got to C:\ProgramData\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.5\data. There is a folder named twitterdata.
Here are the contents of that directory:
Please let me know if you need more information or if you have other suggestions that would help!
Thanks for all the help!
If you are using windows system and facing the error 'unable to connect localhost 3306' at the connection time. First you have to need start MySQL services in 2 steps:
Press "Windows key + R" write "services.msc"
And run as admin start MySQL service.
There can be three issues:
1) Either your server isn't even running. Open your command prompt and enter mysql
2)Let's say it is , can you check if it's connecting on the correct port.
Like in the url, you are using 3306,
Try following this post:
How do I find out my MySQL URL, host, port and username?
3) Can you check what if there are any credentials to the database you are connecting?

Having a bit of a problem with mysql...
Mysql 5.1 on windows 2008 server iis7
Site on windows 2003 server iis6
[sorry but can't move to linux kids! ;)]
In the process of shifting a site to a new server so I have moved the database 1st and connected the site to the new database. I tested the connection before moving but now the site is connecting to the new database I am having problems....
connecting via PDO the page hangs for an age before getting 'too many connections' error. Monitoring the server I see MANY threads of: 'unathenticated user' from the ip address of the host the site runs on.
I also see a thread for the connection with the correct user name in my config file and I am a total loss as to what is going on.
Any help would be very much appreciated
'unathenticated user' from the ip address of the host the site runs on
A stab in the dark, but this could be some script or process trying to connect to the database server with wrong or empty credentials.
Also, here's a report from somebody who had similar problems - in that case, it was the DNS lookup that caused the problem.
I had a similar situation on my setup where the database lived on a different host than
the webserver. I found the "unauthenticated users" were connections from the webserver
that were hanging on DNS lookups. Don't know if this is a mysql bug or a bug with my
firewall / other setup, but a couple of fixes I found were...
1) start mysql with --skip-name-resolve (you may have to change your mysql permission
tables to have the host's IP instead of hostname, including localhost)
or 2) add the connecting host to your /etc/hosts file.
