Cannot connect to MySQL Server database at localhost:3306 - mysql

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?

Outsystems: configuring a connection to access a MySQL database

I'm using Outsystems Service Studio to develop a web application. I need to configure a connection to access a local server database. I get "Connection String test failed: Unable to connect to any of the specified MySQL hosts." I just figured out I can't connect using "localhost", because the Outsystems server is not local, but I'm not able to find a solution. what is wrong? Other details:
MySQL Server is up and running
I selected MySQL in DBMS
Inserted my schema name
Inserted the username (with all privileges granted)
Inserted the user password
Tried both basic and advanced configuration. I inserted j"dbc:mysql://127.0.0.1:3306/mydb?user=outsystems2" as connection string parameters and I get "Connection String test failed: Keyword not supported.Parameter name: mysql://127.0.0.1:3306/mydb?user". I know this connection string can't work , but I'm not able to find a functioning one. I've read many guides about this configuration, but no solution was found. Thank you all for your time and help, feel free to ask for more details
Luciano,
Is your OutSystems environment on-premises or in the cloud? Either way, you need to make sure that this server is able to reach - it as connectivity - to your MySQL database server. Using localhost or 127.0.0.1 is pretty much the same thing as this is an address for the machine where the request is running, which is, in this case, the OutSystems server. Do you have the MySQL database on your local machine? This is not a good approach as you will need to have an address that won't change otherwise the connection won't be stable and you'd have to reconfigure it all the time.

Connection failed in using mysqlconnector ODBC to connect from sql to access

I am trying to connect mysql database in phpmyadmin to the access file. I am using mysqlconnector ODBC for that. Tutorial I am following is this
The problem is that when I give the credentials to connect to database, it gives me error as shown in this snapshot
I have tried hard to search on internet but failed. What mistake I am doing. I am putting the ftp information of the server there. Is there any database credentials i need to put?
You can't use the FTP credentials to connect the MySQL database. You have to use the database credentials. Make sure you have done followings before connecting.
Make sure MySQL server is up and running on the HOST IP and PORT.
Your MySQL server can accept connections from your IP or use % for
all IPS
Make sure you have a valid USER account
EDIT
Or tell us where(local server, internet, IP) the MySQL database is installed. The port number the server is listening on. How you access MySQL server normally.

error 2003(HY000) Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061)

This question may be a duplicate. I searched similar question, but the solutions of those problems did not help me fix the problem.
When I open mysql cmd line It asks me for password. Anyhow i did not set password to the server during configuration. So I just hit ENTER when it asks for password(it works on my Classmates' PCs), after I do that, an error message is displayed: error 2003(HY000) Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061).
So I thought there must be some problem with the windows service for mysql. I found out that the service was not running, so I tried to manually start the service, When I did so I got an error message: windows could not start the mysql service on local computer Error:193: 0xc1.
What Can I do...
Check the windows service for mysql running for not.If not running start it from services as administrator.
You can resolve this in a better way by starting service {mysql56} from command line as Administrator
net start mysql56
Second method
Check path to execute also check in registry also From Run type
services.msc
Select mysql56(mysqlxx) right click and check
properties and note down path to execute
From Run type regedit and
navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\
Select the mysql service (mysqlxx) and check its ImagePath value
data as same as path to execute
If it is not change it

Connect to database using Workbench

I have a database on my server and I want to connect to it through MySql Workbench, I entered my HostName, Username, Password, When I click Test Connection I get this Error Message:
Failed to Connect to MYSQL at **.**.***.**:3306 with user root.
Host '**.171.199.66' is not allowed to connect to this MySQL server
I am 100% sure my Hostname, username and Password are correct, I did some research and from what I managed to find out that I have to actually permit an access from my IP address to the database before I can connect.....if this is correct could someone explain to me how to give myself e permission to connect to my database on server.
It is likely that your MySql root account is configured to not accept remote root logins (its a default). If you are trying to connect from anywhere but localhost its not going to allow it. Your're right you need to permit access for your IP. You need to do it from within the server your MySql is installed on. In case of if you have managed hosting, your hosting company should provide you with a tool like phpMyAdmin or such, to manage your MySql. If it is your own installation, you can connect to mysql server instance from the console and go from there.
Check out another stackoverflow post:
Here is what you should be looking for in phpMyAdmin:
Keep in mind it might look a bit different depending on the phpMyAdmin Version.

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