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 8.0 Command Line Client crashes right after entering the correct password. I have also checked in services and there is no problem there. I'm using windows
This might be because MYSQL service is stopped.
Open search bar in windows and type services
Open the services application and find MYSQL application.
Click on start
Now open sql command line and try entering password
It is because MySQL Server stop, may be you run another application that use the same port. Try to run MySQL Installer Community, and you will find the program that you have to reconfigure (blue text). Try to configure MySQL Server ant click Test Connection.
It's hard to tell with no debug output or error codes, but disabling ssl might do the trick:
mysql --ssl-mode=DISABLED --host=$MYSQL_HOST --user=$MYSQL_USER ....
I had the same issue, was looking through Google to find an answer and came here. Are you sure, that you provided MySQL password? The root cause of my problem was the fact, that I put the MySQL user instead of MySQL password (the root one). Now everything is working fine.
That could mean that the password is failing. Check CapsLock key.
Go to Control Panel and uninstall MySQL Server only, you don't need to unstall the other MySQL files.
As mentioned here, make sure you can see hidden folders and then delete the following folders:
C:\Program Files\MySQL
C:\Program Files (x86)\MySQL
C:\ProgramData\MySQL
C:\Users<your-username>\AppData\Roaming\MySQL
Reinstall MySQL Server Package only
Select another password (looks like the current password is the problem)
Come here and vote me up :)
Do something nice for someone else ;)
I am new to SQL and keep getting an error "Authentication plugin 'caching_sha2_password' cannot be loaded. The specific module can not be found" while connecting.
In your text editor of choice, open (or create) the /usr/local/etc/my.cnf file and add the following to the [mysqld] section of the file:
default-authentication-plugin=mysql_native_password
Open a terminal window, open an SSH session to your naked Mac Mini Server, and enter the following at the shell prompt:
mysql -u root -p
ALTER USER 'root'#'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY 'NEWPASSWORD';
Where NEWPASSWORD is the password you want to assign to the MySQL root user.
exit
Reboot your Mac.
Contents of this post is taken from farces.com
You have to "mysql_native_password" here to connect or else you have to configure "caching_sha2_password" plugin properly, as new MySQL comes with "caching_sha2_password" as below:
DROP USER 'your_user_name'#'localhost';
CREATE USER 'your_user_name'#'%' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY 'your_user_password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON <db_name>.* TO 'your_user_name'#'%' identified by 'your_user_password';
The easy way around would be to reconfigure your MySQL server with a new authentication method. Just open the MySQL Installer community, and click on reconfigure next to the product MySQL Server. Keep clicking the 'Next' button until you see the authentication method window.
In this window ensure that the 'Use Legacy Authentication Method' option is selected. If not, select that option and proceed with the reconfiguration without changing any more settings. This will handle all errors that you may face when connecting to MySQL from Excel or R, etc.
In your specific case, it could be because your server is not running. To handle that, right-click on This PC on your computer and click on 'Manage'. Select 'Services and Applications' and then 'Services'. Scroll down the list that appears until you see your MySQL server. Click on the service and then click on start the service.
Before following all these instructions to downgrade your server security, make sure you have the latest version of MySQL Workbench! I kept getting that error when I tried running Workbench on an old computer. It had an older version of Workbench installed on it. I ran MySQL Installer and upgraded Workbench to the latest version and stopped getting that error.
I'm having an awkward issue here. I've recently installed MySql on windows 7. Based on things I have googled, when you first install MySQL it shouldn't ask for a password. For some reason it did on my system.
I used the method described in the link below to reset my root password:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/resetting-permissions.html
It works. However apparently the password is lost every time I restart windows. Therefore I have to reset the root password every time I restart windows.
Any Ideas what I could be doing wrong?
Thanks in advance
Additional notes:
When I type
--init-file=C:\\mysql-init.txt
in the command window, I get the message "starting process 1960...." however it apparently freezes there and I won't be able enter further input into the command window. However when I open the MySQL workbench everything works fine.
On the other hand when I use this:
mysqld
--defaults-file="C:\\ProgramData\\MySQL\\MySQL Server 5.7\\my.ini"
--init-file=C:\\mysql-init.txt
The command window doesn't freeze, but when I open the MySQL workbench I can't connect.
Additional notes2:
After following the steps in the link if I try to start the service from the "Services" window I get an error:
Windows could not start the MySQL 5.6 service on local computer. Error 1067: the process terminated unexpectedly.
Again everything works fine if I manually open the MySQL workbench, however I do get this error when trying to start the service.
I recently installed MySQL 5 on Windows 2003 and tried configuring an instance. Everything worked fine until I got to "Applying Security settings", at which point it gave me the above error (Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061)).
I do have a port 3306 exception in my firewall for 'MySQL Server'.
Got this error on Windows because my mysqld.exe wasn't running.
Ran "C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.5\bin\mysqld" --install from the command line to add it to my services, ran services.msc (start -> run), found the MySQL service and started it.
Didn't have to worry about it from there on out.
To resolve this problem:
go to the task manager
select Services tab
find MySql service
Running
That's all.
You'll probably have to grant 'localhost' privileges to on the table to the user. See the 'GRANT' syntax documentation. Here's an example (from some C source).
"GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON %s.* TO '%s'#'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY '%s'";
That's the most common access problem with MySQL.
Other than that, you might check that the user you have defined to create your instance has full privileges, else the user cannot grant privileges.
Also, make sure the mysql service is started.
Make sure you don't have a third party firewall or Internet security service turned on.
Beyond that, there's several pages of the MySQL forum devoted to this:
http://forums.mysql.com/read.php?11,9293,9609#msg-9609
Try reading that.
I had difficulty accessing MySQL while connecting via a localhost connection on the standard port 3306, which worked fine when I installed and configured it for prior classes I had taken in MySQL and Java. I was getting errors like "error 2003" and "Cannot connect to MySql server on localhost (10061)". I tried connecting from both MySQL Workbench (5.2.35 CE) and Netbeans (7.2). I am using Windows 7 64 bit professional.
I tried typing in services.msc in the start menu search box, which opened the services dialog box to show all the services installed in windows. I scrolled down to MySQL and started this service. Subsequent attempts to connect to MySQL from MySQL WorkBench and from the command prompt succeeded.
English:
press Windows + R
write "services.msc". Then press Enter
search for MySQL57 and right click
click on start the service
Français :
Appuyez sur la touche Windows + R
Écrire "services.msc" Puis appuyez sur Entrée
Recherchez MySQL57 et clic droit
Cliquez sur rédémarrer
press Windows key + R
write "services.msc" enter
search for "MYSQL56"
write click on it and start the service
Make sure that your windows host file (located at c://windows/system32/drivers/etc.host) has following line. If not, add it at the end
127.0.0.1 localhost
::1 localhost
Sometimes mysql can not trigger Windows to force start host services if firewall blocks it, so start it manually
win+run>>services.msc, select the "MySQL_xx" where "xx" is the name you have assigned to MySQL host services during setup. Click on 'start' to start from hyperlink appeared on left side.
I tried Kuzhichamadam Inn's solution and found that a slight change needed to be made.
MYSQL57 was a network service. I had tried this repeatedly with no success. When I opened services.msc I found another service for localhost: MySQL. I started that one using the process below and it worked.
run > services.msc > rightclick MySQL > properties >start
I got this error when I ran out of space on my drive.
Go to Run type services.msc. Check whether or not MySQL services are running. If not, start it manually. Once it is started, type MySQL Show to test the service.
To connect locally to MySql, you do not have to setup a firewall with inbound rules. But, even if you already setup iptables to allow the TCP inbound port 3306 and grant the privilege to the user to access the db locally, you may have to setup the bind address in your my.cnf file, edit the default address there and put the server IP address that is running the MySql service.
Since I have struggled and found a slightly different answer here it is:
I recently switched the local (intranet) server at my new workplace. Installed a LAMP; Debian, Apache, MySql, PHP. The users at work connect the server by using the hostname, lets call it "intaserv". I set up everything, got it working but could not connect my MySql remotely whatever I did.
I found my answer after endless tries though. You can only have one bind-address and it cannot be hostname, in my case "intranet".
It has to be an IP-address in eg. "bind-address=192.168.0.50".
run > services.msc > rightclick MySQL57 > properties >set start type option to automatic
after restarting computer
At cmd
cd: C:\
C :\> cd "C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.7\bin"
it will become
C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.7\bin>
type mysql -u root -p
ie C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.7\bin> mysql -u root -p
Enter password: ****
That's all
It will result in
mysql>
Another possibility:
There are two ways the MySQL client can connect to the server: over TCP/IP, or using sockets. It's possible you have your MySQL server configured to support socket connections, but not network connections.
Nothing to do just "Reset to Default" your firewall setting it will start working.
I read many solutions but nothing worked properly, so at last I reset firewall settings which worked.
finally solved this.. try running mysql in xammp. The check box of mysql in xammp should be unclicked. then start it. after that you can open now mysql and it will now connect to the localhost
Edit your 'my-default.ini' file (by default it comes with commented properties)as below ie.
basedir=D:/D_Drive/mysql-5.6.20-win32
datadir=D:/D_Drive/mysql-5.6.20-win32/data
port=8888
There is very good article present that dictates commands to create user, browse tables etc ie.
http://www.ntu.edu.sg/home/ehchua/programming/sql/MySQL_HowTo.html#zz-3.1
I did not have Mysql server installed, that package was missing and I got it from this link https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/installer/
Right click on My Computer
Click on Manage
Go to Services and Application
Select Services and find MySQL service
Right click on MySQL and select Start
