Whenever I try to start MySQL by typing
> mysql -u root
I get the error
ERROR 2003(HY000): Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061)
How can I solve the problem above? I just downloaded MySQL and unzipped it in the E: drive. I have not done anything else. Do I have to make a connection first? If so, how can I do that?
Here is the ZIP file that I had downloaded: mysql-5.7.15-winx64.zip
Here are the steps to start MYSQL Server (mysql-5.7.15-winx64) for the first time on Windows:
Create a new folder named "data" in MYSQL installation directory (i.e. in the same location as where "bin" directory is located. For me it is: C:\programs\mysql-5.7.15-winx64\mysql-5.7.15-winx64. This location will vary as per the location where you have extracted the MYSQL zip file)
From here I will use my MYSQL folder location as reference. Go to: C:\programs\mysql-5.7.15-winx64\mysql-5.7.15-winx64\bin and execute the command: mysqld --initialize-insecure or mysqld --initialize depending on whether you want the server to generate a random initial password for the 'root'#'localhost' account.
To start the DB, go to: C:\programs\mysql-5.7.15-winx64\mysql-5.7.15-winx64\bin and execute mysqld --console You can see the start-up logs being printed.
To connect to DB, go to: C:\programs\mysql-5.7.15-winx64\mysql-5.7.15-winx64\bin and execute mysql -u root -p. When prompted, Enter password if it has been set or else just hit "Enter" button to connect
The MySQL server can be started manually from the command line. This can be done on any version of Windows.
To start the mysqld server from the command line, you should start a console window (or “DOS window”) and enter this command:
shell> "C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\bin\mysqld"
The path to mysqld may vary depending on the install location of MySQL on your system.
You can stop the MySQL server by executing this command:
shell> "C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\bin\mysqladmin" -u root shutdown
**Note : **
If the MySQL root user account has a password, you need to invoke mysqladmin with the -p option and supply the password when prompted.
This command invokes the MySQL administrative utility mysqladmin to connect to the server and tell it to shut down. The command connects as the MySQL root user, which is the default administrative account in the MySQL grant system. Note that users in the MySQL grant system are wholly independent from any login users under Windows.
If mysqld doesn't start, check the error log to see whether the server wrote any messages there to indicate the cause of the problem. The error log is located in the C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\data directory. It is the file with a suffix of .err. You can also try to start the server as mysqld --console; in this case, you may get some useful information on the screen that may help solve the problem.
The last option is to start mysqld with the --standalone and --debug options. In this case, mysqld writes a log file C:\mysqld.trace that should contain the reason why mysqld doesn't start. See MySQL Internals: Porting to Other Systems.

If the command prompt does not work in Windows, try the following:
1) Open services in Windows.
2) Then check the status for Mysql and if you found status nothing or blank then start the mysql service.
3) After then see whether the mysql is start or not .If it shows started then try to check mysql working.
It has worked for me when cmd commands were not working.
Run the command prompt as admin and cd to bin directory of MySQL
Generally it is (C:\Program Files\MySQL\mysql-5.6.36-winx64\bin)
Run command : mysqld --install. (This command will install MySQL services and if services already installed it will prompt.)
Run below commands to start and stop server
To start : net start mysql
To stop : net stop mysql
Run mysql command.
Enjoy !!
maybe
E:\mysql-5.1.39-win32\bin>mysql -u root -p
Type
C:\> "C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.1\bin\mysqld" --console
to start the sql server and then test the client connection.
I was using MySQL Server 5.5 as a result I was missing the folder which majority of the answers made mention of in the bin folder. What I did instead was the following:
Open Explorer and make your way to C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.5\bin or your MySQL installation directory.
Run the executable application MySQLInstanceConfig and follow the images below.
This solved my issue and I was able to access the database without any errors.
Start mysql server by command prompt
C:> "C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.5\bin\mysqld" --console
Or alternative reach up to bin then
mysqld --console
It will start your server.
If you have mysql command line client available
click on it
it show enter your password :
Please enter your password.
Then you can access it.
You also need to configure and start the MySQL server. This will probably help
I tried following steps to run mysql server 5.6 on my windows 8.
Run command prompt as an administrator
go mysql server 5.6 installation directory (in my case: C:\Program Files (x86)\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.6\bin) copy that location
In Command prompt run "cd C:\Program Files (x86)\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.6\bin"
run "mysql -u root"
You need to run the server first. The command you use (in the question) starts a client to connect to the server but the server is not there so there the error.
Since I am not a Windows user (Linux comes equipped) so I might not be the best person to tell you how but I can point to you to a guide and another guide that show you how to get MySQL server up and running in Windows.
After you get that running, you can use the command (in the question) to connect it.
NOTE: You may also try http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html if you plan to use MySQL for web database development.
Hope this helps.
The error complains about localhost rather than permissions and the current practice in MySQL is to have a bind-address specifying localhost only in a configuration file.
So I don't think it's a password problem - except that you say you 'unzipped' MySQL.
Is that enough installation? What did you download?
Was there any installation step which allowed you to define a root password?
And, as NawaMan said, is the server running?
first thing you need to do is to start the mysql
for that you can use
E:\mysql-5.1.39-win32\bin>net start mysql (only when there a mysql running as service)
then you can execute
E:\mysql-5.1.39-win32\bin>mysql -u root
Run your command prompt as administrator.#
We can start MySQL service from windows command line using the below command.
net start mysql
Command to stop MySql service:
net stop mysql
Disable MySql service:
sc config mysql start= disabled
Command to enable MySql service(to automatically start MySQL service when the system starts up):
sc config mysql start= auto
Command to set the startup type to manual:
sc config mysql start= manual
How to restart MySql service?
There is no direct command to restart a service. You can combine stop and start commands like below.
net stop mysql & net start mysql
I was also having problem with starting MySql server but run command as mention right mark in picture . Its working fine .
mysql -u root -p
After entering this command in terminal, it will ask for password
Enter the password and you are ready to go!
there is one of the best solution do resolve this problem and it is going to work 100%.
as we know that server is a process so treat it like a process go to the task manager
in windows and see for services in task manager in that service see for Mysql and MS80 and try to start it manually by click on it and say run then will take some time.
go to your mysql workbench and click on start/shutdown then try to refresh the server status in server status option. it will load up thats it.
1.Open a command prompt as Administrator.
2.Go to MySQL installed bin directory in program files.
3.Copy the location of the bin directory from windows explorer.
4.In command prompt type cd and (paste the location) and do enter.
5.Type mysqld --initialize
6.Open services from the windows menu and sort the list by name.
7.Right-click Mysql and click start.
use the command "mysql -u root -p" in the bin folder path.
and give the MY SQL password which you have set earlier.

Pretty simple question here. I just want a SQL database on my version of Kali linux so I can practice SQL.
I opened the command line and entered tried to start mysql and get an error.
> mysql -u root
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock'
I also made sure it was already installed using apt-get.
What are the steps I need to take to be able to make a database with tables and data that I can query?
I don't know about Kali, but on Ubuntu it would be
$ sudo service mysql start
Once that command returns, the mysqld service has started, so you can use the mysql client to connect to it.
Of course, you also have to make sure you have the mysql-server package installed, not just mysql-client and mysql-common, and that you've initialized the database instance. Complete post-installation instructions can be found in the official documentation, but the short version is
Make sure the installer has created the mysql user account. This is the account that will "own" the server process once it starts.
Change to your data directory. (I used the installer's default of /var/lib/mysql; you can change this by editing my.cnf.)
As root, execute the server daemon with the --initialize switch. Check whereis to determine the correct path, then
$ sudo /path/to/mysqld --initialize --user=mysql
This command will twiddle itself for a while, then display an automatically-generated password and exit. Once the command returns, the database instance has been initialized and the system tables created. You can now start the database instance normally (using service start), then log in as the database user root (which is not the same as the system user root) using the password from above, then change your password, create a new database user, log in as that user, create a user database, and start creating tables.
Again, the official documentation is the place to look for this; if any of the instructions in the official documentation differ from my instructions, you should ignore me and follow the official documentation's instructions.
If sudo service mysql start doesn't work for you, please try running mysqld_safe and don't kill the process. Use another tab to check the status of mysql service. This should solve your mysqld.sock issue.
If it doesn't work out, then please edit your my.cnf file and add the following:
socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
And the permissions,
sudo chmod -R 755 /var/lib/mysql/
Hopefully, this should do it.
On my version of kali (2022-rolling), even though it's installed as MySQL, it's run as mariadb. To start it is:
sudo /etc/init.d/mariadb start
Try this
sudo service mysql start
I'm installing Apache server, php, and MySQL on Windows10.
First two was successful but MySQL has a problem.
I installed MySQL into C:\mysql-5.7.10-winx64, and changed my.ini like this
basedir = C:/mysql-5.7.10-winx64
datadir = C:/mysql-5.7.10-winx64/data
port = 3306
I succeeded install but if I try to start, it shows like below
C:\Windows\system32>net start mysql
The MySQL service is starting.
The MySQL service could not be started.
The service did not report an error.
More help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 3534.
However, if I check Computer Management>Event Viewer>Custom Views>Summary page events, it tells me "failed to set datadir to C:\mysql-5.7.10-winx64\data\"
If I make data folder manually, error message changed to
Can't open the mysql.plugin table
Please run mysql_upgrade to create it.." and some files are created in data folder
I tried to upgrade by typing mysql_upgrade but it failed.
mysql_upgrade: Got error: 2003: Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061) while connecting to the MySQL server. Upgrade process encountered error and will not continue.
How can I solve this issue?
Clear the "data" directory, then run command mysqld --initialize, and the command net start mysql, bingo!
1.For the error,
2003: Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061) while connecting to the MySQL server. Upgrade process encountered error and will not continue.
I ran the cmd as administrator and then go to \Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.7\bin\, and run
mysqld install
2.For the error,
C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.7\bin>net start mysql
The MySQL service is starting.
The MySQL service could not be started.
The service did not report an error.
More help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 3534.
Try
mysqld --initialize
and then
net start mysql
Thanks to Athan's answer. Those combination worked for me.
I also had the same problem and I wasted hours solving the issue, but in the end this worked.
Go to you C:\ProgramData\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.7 and copy the my.ini file from there.
Go to C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.7 and paste it there.
Open cmd and run net start mysql
It would work like a charm.
Explanation:
MySQL couldn't find my.ini, therefore tried to create data in Program Files... where it had no rights to do so, therefore it says access denied every time you run it.
This is old but I was running into the same problem you were seeing. I thought I'd share this answer for anyone looking. I created the data directory as you did initially and tried to start the service and got "Can't open and lock privilege tables: Table mysql.user doesn't exist." I then deleted the contents of the data directory and instead initialized the data directory by running the following command from the bin folder.
mysqld --initialize [with random root password]
mysqld --initialize-insecure [without random root password]
I had the same error, after checked this document: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/data-directory-initialization.html
I just clear data directory and add the --console option to initialize:
bin\mysqld --defaults-file=C:\my.ini
--initialize --console
Hope this help
MySQL Server can either be run as a Program or as a Service. You cannot run both. You should stop 'mysqld' Server Program before starting 'mysqld' Server as Service.
The 'mysqld' Server Program can be stopped either by typing
'CTRL + c' or by issuing
'mysqladmin -u root -p shutdown' command and issue the password when prompted.
You need download from https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/ previous GA versions, and after that copy directory "data" to your new mysql or outher directory what you write in configfile my.ini in directory mysql-"version" .
For your error, main cause is in your my.ini setting.
Since you are installing MySQL on Windows, you should define path like:
basedir = C:\\mysql-5.7.10-winx64
datadir = C:\\mysql-5.7.10-winx64\\data
These slashes must be doubled.
Then start your MySQL service again. I guess this time would work.
And here is official document from MySQL.
This saved my life,
Just turn off the windows firewall and Give he port number correctly as 3306 as default, then restart MYSQL server . After that turn on the windows defender firewall
Just work it fine.
Looks like my solution is not added yet,
I've installed mysql80 , edited my.ini in windows notepad and got the same error like topic author "... NET HELPMSG 3534." when I start mysql service,
and my issue was in extra bytes added by notepad at the begining (EB BB BF) on my.ini, when I edited (added the same changes) my.ini in other editor everything worked fine.
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 installed MySQL on Microsoft Windows 8 Using a noinstall Zip Archive. But when I tested by executing the following commands on windows prompt, the above error showed up.
C:\> "C:\MySQL\bin\mysqlshow"
C:\> "C:\MySQL\bin\mysql" test
You don't need to restart your windows. The easiest way to achieve this is
Go to <Extracted folder location>/bin/
Run mysqld (service)
close the cmd prompt
Run mysql.exe or the better way to do is add the location to PATH environment Variable
Go to Run type services.msc. Check whether MySQL services is running or not. If not, start it manually. Once it started, type mysqlshow to test the service.
Go to bin directory copy the path and set it as a environment variable.
Run the command prompt as admin and cd to bin directory.
Run command : mysqld –install
Now the services are successfully installed
Start the service in service windows of os
Type mysql and go
Though it is an old question, I am adding my answer in it, because the solution that worked for me on Windows 7 as an admin user, is missing in the answers' list. Though my solution is for installed MySQL, I am putting it for those who search for a solution for this error message. Here it is:
Click on the Windows 7 start button and type taskmgr in the search bar
Right click on the taskmgr program icon and select Run as administrator
In the Task Manager window, go to the Services tab
Right click on the MySQL service and click Start Service
The solution that worked for me is:
Downloaded mysql-8.0.22-winx64.zip file
Extracted the zip file
Moved the extracted folder to C:/Program Files
Opened cmd.exe as admin
Navigated to the directory cd C:\Program Files\mysql-8.0.22\mysql-8.0.22-winx64\bin
mysqld -install (Service successfully installed)
mysqld --initialize (no prompt)
Opened services.msc
Found MySQL
Right-click and start
I was stuck on this same issue for what felt like an eternity.
My problem was: I was running mysql from MAMP on port 8889, but when trying to connect to mysql from my command line, it was expecting port 3306. I was running out of ideas, so I tried:
mysql --port 8889
and happiness ensued:
Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 2
Server version: 5.6.34-log MySQL Community Server (GPL)
Go to Run type services.msc. Check whether MySQL services is running or not. If not, start it manually.
Run your cmd as administrator.
What you will see is like this:
c:\windows\system32>
Go to your bin location by using cd..
like C:\mysql\bin (my location of bin in my computer is what you are seeing so chose yours correctly)
Run:
$ C:\mysql\bin>mysql --install
Service successfully installed.
Then run:
$ C:\mysql\bin>NET START MySql
The MySql service is starting
The MySql service was started successfully
Then the last step is running:
C:\mysql\bin>mysql -u root - p admin
It will ask for password don't enter anything first time
because it will use blank, and just press enter you are done.
And later you can set password too.
I have a windows 8.1 machine and mysql was not running at all even after trying to start mysqld with no error logs. This solution worked for me:
start cmd in admin mode
type in "net start mysql"
close current cmd window and open new cmd window
type in "mysql"
The mysqld service should now be available.
Had this issue in Windows 10 and MySQL 8. Resolved by following steps:
Searchbar(bottom left) > Task Manager > Run as administrator > Services > MySQL80
Well that could have some reasons.
THe first one is that the MySQL server/service not started.
If he is started you should check out the logfiles, and make sure there are no problems.
You could also uninstall the MySQL service and install XAMPP.
With XAMPP it is easier to manage this services.
Despite that my server was running, I had the same problem.
I found out that it was the port. So you need to specify the port:
mysql -u user -p --port 0000
The port on your machine may be different. To find out on which port mysql is running open the mysql ini file and look for port=. A port often used is 3306.
Example how to log on to mysql
mysql -u root -p --port 3306
Test if the server is running. You can use netstat for this. See https://serverfault.com/questions/260239/unable-to-connect-to-mysql-through-port-3306
If it is running, it may be the firewall. You can turn that off to test if that is the problem.
See the following manual to install Mysql as a service: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/windows-start-service.html
First of all, you need to ensure the port number on which the server is running. Then you can run
mysql -u username -p --port portNumber
on the command line
Executing the mysqld command can solve your problem.
My SQL version is 5.7.
If you're using the no install zip, you need to execute mysqld.exe first to start the service, and then execute mysql.exe to open your connection.
The no install is nice, but if you intend to do any serious work with MySQL, you may want to consider either using the MSI to do a proper installation, or if you're doing web development work give XAMPP a try.
Check Mysqld.exe file is in your bin folder. if it is not there , just copy that file from any other computer and paste it on your bin folder.Just double click. Then run mysql.its solved
This error is flashed when we are trying to open mysql with out stating the service.
Open cmd prompt
to start the service type
mysqld --console
This will start the mysql service
Don't close this cmd prompt and open a new cmd prompt and
type
mysql -u root -p
Then enter ur password
Make sure your mysql is running in default port (3306) , if you are running mysql with different port (for example: 3307), you must specified the port number while connecting to the server.
If your port is different than default port, then try with this command.
mysql -u <username> -p --port<port number>
For eg:
mysql -u root -p --port 3307

I had the same problem. I tried all of the answers above (and some from other websites). In the end, my issue was that my cache wasn't configured. I found that info in my error log and fixed it by changing the line in the file:
C:\MAMP\bin\apache\conf\extra\http-ssl.conf
There I removed the double quotes from the line:
SSLSessionCache "shmcb:/some/example/path/ssl_scache(512000)"
to:
SSLSessionCache shmcb:/some/example/path/ssl_scache(512000)
and saved with Ctrl+S and closed the file.
Here's the link that helped me:
https://wiki.apache.org/httpd/SSLSessionCache
I faced the same problem couple of times and each time the reason was different:
The solution that worked first time was that by "Abhishek Oza" which is same as that of "amey91" (see above)
The second time, my server was on a different port number than the default one(3036),so i was not able to connect.So I had to specify
the port number explicitly for making the connection which you can do
simply by writing: "mysql --host=127.0.0.1 --port=8081(specify your
port number here) mysql -u root -p"
In my case, which was a manual install using the .zip file.
I solved this by specifying the nonstandard MySQL and Data install locations in a my.ini.
https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/windows-create-option-file.html
Then I needed to run the data directory initialisation commands:
https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/data-directory-initialization-mysqld.html
Then running:
net start mysql
There is a possibility that your installation of MYSQL got corrupted. The best thing you can do is to search for MYSQL INSTALLER on your system and then run it again.
It will not download the mysql server again, it will just help you to set it up.
After that, edit your environment variables path and add the bin folder of your mysql to it.
By now, it should work.
In my case I have 2 different version of mysql in Windows OS and I solved the my problem by bottom step:
first stop all mysql service.
I create one config file in C:\mysqldata.cnf with bottom data(my mysql is in "C:/mysql-5.0.96-winx64" directory ):
[mysqld]
datadir = C:/mysql-5.0.96-winx64/data
port = 3307
then I run bottom command in cmd:
C:\mysql-5.0.96-winx64\bin\mysqld --defaults-file=C:\mysqldata.cnf --console
above step reference
then I create txt file in C:\resetpass.txt with bottom data:
UPDATE mysql.user SET password=PASSWORD('ttt') WHERE user='root';
then run mysqld with bottom command:
C:\mysql-5.0.96-winx64\bin\mysqld --init-file=C:\resetpass.txt --install mysql2 --console
net start mysql2
after these step you have one mysql service(with name mysql2) than run with port 3307.
I have 2 version of mysql with different user management tables(in version 5.0.96 user table difference with 5.5 version because of that I must be change table folder in first step)
you can run other mysql service with other port now(and you can run this steps with different datadir, service name and port for it again)
First make sure you have installed MYsql+Sqlyog(if you are using it.).
Start Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe).
Locate the following key in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters
On the Edit menu, click Add Value, and then add the following registry value:
Value Name: MaxUserPort
Data Type: REG_DWORD
Value: 65534
This sets the number of ephemeral ports available to any user. The valid range is
between 5000 and 65534 (decimal). The default value is 0x1388 (5000 decimal).
On the Edit menu, click Add Value, and then add the following registry value:
Value Name: TcpTimedWaitDelay
Data Type: REG_DWORD
Value: 30
This sets the number of seconds to hold a TCP port connection in TIME_WAIT state before
closing. The valid range is between 30 and 300 decimal, although you may wish to check
with Microsoft for the latest permitted values. The default value is 0x78 (120 decimal).
Quit Registry Editor.
Reboot the machine.
I will advise to use first check if my.ini exist in mysql folder in c drive or in windows folder
mysqld -install (Service successfully installed)
mysqld --initialize (no prompt)
Also another advise is not to use mysql 8, since it is not compatible with wordpress or any other opensource yet, there are lot of changes between version 5 and version 8, so if you are using mysql please use version 5.x.
Steps to resolve the problem ->
Go to command prompt and at root of c (c:\ if environment variable-path is set)
type -> c:\>mysqld -install.
Then type -> c:\mysqld --initialize
Now create one .txt file (here in our example we are taking init.txt) at root of mysql(may vary according to your directory) ->c:\MySQL\init.txt.
Now open that .txt file(init.txt) and write in it ->
5.open Run console and write -> Services.msc
6.Then Services window will be open ,there select MYSQL,Double click It and press start
7.Finally open new Command prompt window and type at root of c (c:) ->c:\>mysqlsh
due to this shell will execute and here you are ready to go....
mysql -u root --port 3308
this one help me
port number from phpmyadmin default port is 3306
I installed MySQL using mysql-installer-5.5.20.0.msi on Windows 7.
From the cmd window, I run "mysqlshow -u root -p". It asked for a password, then returned this error: "Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061)" This is a bad indication of partially failed/successful installation.
After reading the page, http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/windows-troubleshooting.html, it told me to find an error log (.err) in C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.5\data. The directory exists but there is no log file.
I have a feeling this is related to the tight security of Windows 7, especially when installing a Unix based software. And yes, I am the Administrator on my PC.
Any help or suggestions is appreciated. And I can return a favor by answering Java and SQL query questions.
Please Try the following steps:
c:\mysql\bin>mysqld --install
c:\mysql\bin>mysqld --initialize
then press "Windows key + R" write "services.msc", run as admin
start MySQL service.
I also faced the same issue and resolved it by below setups:
Check the MYSQL service in the windows service. If it is there and not running then start it. It will solve your problem.
You can find the services window by navigating to windows Start menu and typing 'services' in the search bar. Select the 'Services' option with the cogs next to it (not the executable file) and the below window will appear. Scroll down to find 'MySql (version)'. When you select MySql you should see an option in the left pane that says 'Start the service'. Click this and a dialogue should appear to indicate Windows is attempting to start the service. Once started the left pane will now give you the option to stop, pause and restart the service and you will now be able to connect to your MySql from the windows cmd line.
If MYSQL service is not present in windows service then follow below setups.
a. Open cmd as administrator.
b. cd to C:\Program Files (x86)\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.6\bin
c. Run the command:
C:\Program Files (x86)\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.6\bin>mysqld.exe --install
d. Check the MySql in the windows service, And if it is not running, Start it by clicking on the service.
e. If your using XAMMP . Start MySQL at the XAMMP control Panel.
this issue is very to solve by windows server users
go to this path
C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.1\bin
run this tool "MySQLInstanceConfig.exe"
and config the instatnce again and problem solved
The simple solution that worked for me is: change localhost to 127.0.0.1 in your database.yml or in your script if writing one.
Here, you need to make sure that the MySQL service is running is Windows. It might be possible that your MySQL service is not running cuurrently.
Open Services window by pressing Windows+R and entering services.msc
Find out MySQL right click and select start.
It works.
I had this error - stupid mistake was, I was using -p3307 to specify port, whereas I should have used -P3307, i.e. capital P. Small 'p' is for password arg :)
In Windows 7
press Windows+R it opens Run
Enter services.msc
Find out mysql right click and start
if mysql was not found
Run cmd as administrator
goto C:\Program Files (x86)\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.6\bin directory(to go back use cd..) and type mysqld.exe --install
follow step 3
That's all
I solved this by adding the following arguments to the command line string:
mysql --user username --password password --host localhost --port 3306 databasename < "system path to .sql file"
Without the --host and --port arguments, especially if you change the port to let's say 3307, which is a non default value, will cause this error.
I got this error in command prompt when I tried to open MySQL from cmd "mysql -u root -p"
Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost:3306' (10061)
It was because I changed my port during the installation of MySQL community server as I had XAMPP server installed and running as well which was not allowing me to use the port 3306.
So basically I had 2 MySQL servers installed in my system.
MySQL community server.
XAMPP server.
If anyone had this same issue this is how I fixed it.
Step 1: Reconfigure MySQL server to port 3306
Step 2: Reconfigure XAMPP to use a different port other than 3306
Note: Stop the XAMPP server before following the steps.
Step 1: Reconfigure MySQL server to port 3306
Click Start and open MySql installer - community
Click on reconfigure button in front of MySql server
Type 3306 in port. Execute and complete the installation.
Step 2: Reconfigure XAMPP to use a different port other than 3306
Open XAMPP and change the port other than 3306 in two files
my.ini under MySQL
and php.ini under Apache
Now everything seems to be working fine for me. I was able to get into MySQL community server from cmd and I can use XAMPP server as well.
I have Windows 8.1 and I too had this problem. My teacher told me it was probably because my MySQL server had stopped running. She told me to go into the Computer Management utility (right click the lower-most left hand corner of the screen on Windows 8.1 to access Computer Management). Then under Services and Applications, open up the Services and find MySQL. You should be able to right-click on MySQL and restart it.
In Start Menu, search for "mysql". Among the results, you should see the "MySQL Installer - Community". Run it.
MySQL Installer window will show up as shown below. Find "MySQL Server" under Product and click on "Reconfigure" link.
The MySQL Installer will show up (same one you used for the first MySQL Server installation). Go through all the steps.
After the MySQL Installer was finished, I started the MySQL service again. This time, the "Startup Message Log" on The MySQL Notifier was showing that the server started successfully:
https://www.howtosolutions.net/2017/08/fixing-mysql-10061-error-after-migration-of-database-files/
This is the easiest solution and worked for me.
Go to where you downloaded
"mysql-installer-web-community-8.0.19.0.msi", file for installing
mysql.
Run this by double clicking on it. (No need to uninstall anything)
Click on "reconfigure" beside the MySql server.
Agree everything which comes in middle, provide password for root where asked.
Finish. That's it you're good to go.
For the 5.7 version, I had the same problem and a simple fix did the trick. As Installed the workbench 5.7 there was another "software" of sorts called the "MySQL Installer Community". I ran this and ran the "Reconfigure" for the MySQL server. It took about a minute and the problem was no longer there.
Hope it works!.(Keep in mind i was using the 5.7 version)
Just turn off the firewall and remove the instance configuration. Add a new instance for the server.![Disable Firewall][1]
Give he port number correctly as 3306 as default
Solution 1:
For 32bit:
Run "mysql.exe" from: C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.6\bin
For 64bit:
Run "MySQLInstanceConfig.exe" from: C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.6\bin
Solution 2:
The error (2002) Can't connect to ... normally means that there is no
MySQL server running on the system or that you are using an incorrect
Unix socket file name or TCP/IP port number when trying to connect to
the server. You should also check that the TCP/IP port you are using
has not been blocked by a firewall or port blocking service.
The error (2003) Can't connect to MySQL server on 'server' (10061)
indicates that the network connection has been refused. You should
check that there is a MySQL server running, that it has network
connections enabled, and that the network port you specified is the
one configured on the server.

For anyone who have the same problem of "Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061) " or "Can't connect to MySQL server on '127.0.0.1' (10061) ".
You can install "MySQL Installer" and this is the link http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/windows/installer/5.6.html
and this is a tutoriel for more help https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AqQc3YqfelE
it works for me and i wish to work for you too.
I had the same error. I resolved in this way
Go to start- MySQL Installer-community and run again the installer as a re-configuration(you will be asked so).
Once asked if you want make MySQL instance to run as a Windows service, check the box.
In case would do not work, try unistalling and installing again, and check the box to run MySQL as Windows service.
From what I've gathered this means the mysql service (mysqld) isn't running.
First make sure it is installed as a windows service : Run
"C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.5\bin\mysqld" --install
from the command line.
Next, start it up :
services.msc > MySQL > start
If it fails to restart, then you can follow these steps :
open the command line as an administrator :
cmd.exe > open as administrator
run "C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.7\bin\mysqld" --verbose
it should fail and put the error log in a directory named data under C:\Program Files\MySQL\MysSQL Server 5.7\ . If it fails to create data for some reason, do it manually under that directory and try again. If you can figure out what's missing from what's in that log, then good, you're done.
If you've still got no luck, this is how I did it :
goto C:\ProgramData\MySQL and copy the file named my.ini to C:\Windows\
try to start the service again from the command line :
"C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.7\bin\mysqld" --verbose
If it doesn't display any error, than the service startup was successfull. If it's still not working, than delete that my.ini you just copied from C:\Windows and start the service from the command line once again.
it should work now
if it is showing error 2003 (HY000): Can't connect to MySQL server on localhost (10061) than
Search services.msc in run
goto mysql properties
copy the mysql service name
start cmd as administrator
write: net start mysqlservicename .i.e mysql57 or etc it will show mysql is starting.
For me, three steps solved this problem on windows 10:
I downloaded MySQL server community edition zip and extracted it in the D drive. After that I went to bin folder and did cmd on that folder. I followed the below steps and all works:
D:\tools\mysql-8.0.17-winx64\bin>mysqld -install
Service successfully installed.
D:\tools\mysql-8.0.17-winx64\bin>mysqld --initialize
D:\tools\mysql-8.0.17-winx64\bin>net start mysql
The MySQL service is starting...
The MySQL service was started successfully.
I too had this problem, its easy to solve:
Go to Control panel - System and maintenance - System - Advanced system settings - Environment variables - System variables - path - click edit - add
"c:\xampp\mysql\bin" - it should look like this :
\Program Files (x86)\NVIDIA Corporation\PhysX\Common;C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\iCLS Client\;C:\Program Files\Intel\iCLS Client\;%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\Program Files\Intel\Intel(R) Management Engine Components\DAL;C:\Program Files\Intel\Intel(R) Management Engine Components\IPT;C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\Intel(R) Management Engine Components\DAL;C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\Intel(R) Management Engine Components\IPT;C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\OpenCL SDK\2.0\bin\x86;C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\OpenCL SDK\2.0\bin\x64;C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Live\Shared;C:\Program Files (x86)\QuickTime Alternative\QTSystem;c:\xampp\mysql\bin
And don't forget to start MySQL from control panel of Xampp.
I found the same error re occurring even after I tried all the above solutions given above. I had even tried version 5.7 and few more. Guys don't waste your time trying to fix it. Rather install version 5.5. It's working perfectly fine without any unnecessary error.
Well in my case I just opened services.msc using run and restarted 2 of the services related to mysql and it worked!
In case of Xampp Installation.
Go to your xampp installation and mysql folder, for my case: C:\xampp\mysql
Run the file "resetroot.bat" from cmd or explorer.
My installation started working!!!
The solution that fixed the issue was using the following steps:
In Start Menu, search for "mysql". Among the results, you should see the "MySQL Installer - Community". Run it.
MySQL Installer window will show up as shown below. Find "MySQL Server" under Product and click on "Reconfigure" link.
MySQL Installer Community
The MySQL Installer will show up (same one you used for the first MySQL Server installation). Go through all the steps.
After the MySQL Installer was finished, I started the MySQL service again.
Don't do useless stuff like reconfigure, stop MySQL and start MySQL in service.
Just reinstall the MYSQL server and again install it in your system.
Remember only uninstall MySQL server and nothing else.
All the problem will be solve automatically
The main reason for this kind of error is you might have uninstalled Mysql server application. Install it and then give it a go.
for who person that want use mysql or mariadb with out any error i suggest use version 5.5
just download a zip file mariadb-5.5.65-winx64.zip from https://downloads.mariadb.org/mariadb/5.5.65/ and to install follow this tutorial setp by step https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEPs6JsTZFc (this tutorial works well for version 5.5 too )
I had the same issue and basically resolved it by pointing to a specific port number that my MySQL server was running on. Below is the command. Please edit the code to fit your case i.e your port number,your mysql server username,your password.
mysql -u root -pYourMysqlRootPassword -P3307
Create the temp folder c:/mysqltmp
In my.ini file under [mysqld] add the line
tmpdir=c:/mysqltmp
Add full privileges to user NETWORK SERVICE for "C:\ProgramData\MySQL\MySQL Server X.Y\Data\ibdata1" file
Start service
These are steps for the same problem with MySQL5.7 and MySQL8.0 on Windows 10
