I'm starting up with mysql on mac. I have installed Mysql and mysql workbench. My mysql server is running. When I try test connection with mysql workbench I get Can't connect to MySQL server on '127.0.0.1' (49). When I try to connect with terminal it works perfectly. In terminal I use the command mysql -u root -p then enter the password. I can't seem to figure this out, do I need to add something in my.cnf file ? Currently it says
[mysqld]
# Only allow connections from localhost
bind-address = 127.0.0.1
mysqlx-bind-address = 127.0.0.1
I can't find what (49) means in the error too. Thanks in advance. I'm using MacOS Mojave, mysql server version 8.0.17
EDIT : I reinstalled my MacOS, it started working. Guess some issue with some internal file.
Change the Connection Method menu to Local Socket/Pipe.
Leave the "Socket/Pipe Path" field empty to use the default socket. This is equivalent to omitting the -h option when using the mysql command line client.
See the documentation
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.

I am trying to import a sql file using command line: mysql -u USERNAME -p DATABASENAME < FILENAME.sql,
but I am not familiar with mysql command line.
I use ssh to connect to server, after connected, it shows: [tamp#need ~]$, i input mysql, it shows: -bash: mysql: command not found,
so what is the problem? what should I do?
It looks like mysql client is not installed on the server (or at least its binary is not in the right PATH); you should ask the system administrator to install it. If you're the administrator, well.. you should install it by your own, depending on which OS is installed on the host, you'd need a different procedure. For example, on debian based system you likely would run:
apt-get install mysql
This indicates that MySQL Client program are not installed in your machine.
You can install MySQL client by:
$ yum install mysql
OR
$ sudo apt-get install mysql-client
In fact, you have 2 options.
Either connect to your distant server using ssh -- then execute remotely mysql CLI on the server. That's what you have tried so far. But as other have already mentioned it, the mysql client doesn't seems to be present there.
The second option is to run mysql CLI on your local machine and connect it to your remote database server.
# Assuming your DB server has the DNS name "my-sql-server.home.local":
local-machine$ mysql -u user -h my-sql-server.home.local -p
# or
# Assuming you access your DB server by its IPv4 address "192.168.0.10"
local-machine$ mysql -u user -h 192.168.0.10 -p
Please note that, depending your mysql-server setup and your security policy the access may or may not be granted.

I have been installing the MySQL Community Server from ZIP Archive with the Inno Setup. I have used this install script (little modified) http://dark-it.blogspot.sk/2009/07/inno-setup-mysql-full-script.html, because I need one-click installation for my very simple application, which works with the MySQL database. My Installation to the Windows XP Professional was successful. Now the MySQL service is running correctly. But my problem is that I don´t know the username and the password for connect to this MySQL server. I have tried changed the username and the password in my.ini file but it wasn´t correct. And I tied blank password too. Can I somehow change the username and the password in this file? Or what is the default password after install? I need import my prepared database to one-click install too. I have located this database to /MyApplication/Data/Database_folder. In this directory are folders as test and performance_schema too. It is correct location?
Thanks for reply.
See the MySQL developer pages how to reset the root password.
Log on to your system as Administrator.
Stop the MySQL server if it is running. For a server that is running as a Windows service, go to the Services manager: From the Start menu, select Control Panel, then Administrative Tools, then Services. Find the MySQL service in the list and stop it.
If your server is not running as a service, you may need to use the Task Manager to force it to stop.
Create a text file containing the following statements. Replace the password with the password that you want to use.
UPDATE mysql.user SET Password=PASSWORD('MyNewPass') WHERE User='root';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Write the UPDATE and FLUSH statements each on a single line. The UPDATE statement resets the password for all root accounts, and the FLUSH statement tells the server to reload the grant tables into memory so that it notices the password change.
Save the file. For this example, the file will be named C:\mysql-init.txt.
Open a console window to get to the command prompt: From the Start menu, select Run, then enter cmd as the command to be run.
Start the MySQL server with the special --init-file option (notice that the backslash in the option value is doubled):
C:> C:\mysql\bin\mysqld-nt --init-file=C:\mysql-init.txt
If you installed MySQL to a location other than C:\mysql, adjust the command accordingly.
The server executes the contents of the file named by the --init-file option at startup, changing each root account password.
You can also add the --console option to the command if you want server output to appear in the console window rather than in a log file.
If you installed MySQL using the MySQL Installation Wizard, you may need to specify a --defaults-file option:
C:> "C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\bin\mysqld-nt.exe"
--defaults-file="C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\my.ini"
--init-file=C:\mysql-init.txt
The appropriate --defaults-file setting can be found using the Services Manager: From the Start menu, select Control Panel, then Administrative Tools, then Services. Find the MySQL service in the list, right-click it, and choose the Properties option. The Path to executable field contains the --defaults-file setting.
After the server has started successfully, delete C:\mysql-init.txt.
You should now be able to connect to the MySQL server as root using the new password. Stop the MySQL server, then restart it in normal mode again. If you run the server as a service, start it from the Windows Services window. If you start the server manually, use whatever command you normally use.
About importing you database I would prefer to use a SQL dump they are usually smaller and simple to install with something like this:
mysql -uroot -prootpwd dbname < dump.sql

I am working with a Raspberry Pi running Debian Linux. I am trying to install MySQL Server and run it and here is what I have done:
# sudo apt-get install mysql-server mysql-client php5-mysql
No errors. Now I rebooted the system, then when starting up I get:
[FAIL] startpar: service(s) returned failure: mysql ... failed!
And I tried
# sudo service mysql start
mysql: unrecognized service
Lastly I tried
# /etc/init.d; mysql
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)
I find that I have no folder named mysqld in /var/run. But I read that the sock file here shall be created the first time the server is created?
Do you have any suggestions?
Looks like your mysql server is not started. I usually run the stop command and then start it again:
mysqld stop
mysql.server start
Same error, and this works for me.
/etc/init.d; mysql
The usual way to start the mysql server would be
/etc/init.d/mysqld start
The reason it's failing should be written to the logs (usually /var/log/mysqld.log) - what do the logs say?
look into /var/log/mysql/error.log
