I am using MySQL workbench to connect to my local server. Everything was running fine and suddenly I jumped in a connection refused errors. I tried restarting the server again and again. Clearing temp files and also restarted my machine. I found this post from which I tried a couple of things like net stop and stopping the process from the services list but in the services list it shows as below:
I waited like for 30 mins but still, the service is not stopped.
Also, below is the screenshot for MySQL workbench when I try to start the server:
Is there anything specific which I need to do in order to resolve this error:
So, I resolved my own problem in this way. I referred the documentation for this particular error and for my error which is of 2003 type it said that look for mysqld.exe process in task manager and if you don't find any then start the server. But, in my case I found 2 mysqld.exe processes running. So, I killed those processes and restarted the server. It worked!!
Might help someone someday :)
I'm running MariaDB v10.0.14 on a Windows 2012R2 Server, and I work locally from a Win7 machine. I'm limiting this problem to using the command line client tool. I am encrypting the connection to the server DB with SSL. I can connect and issue commands, however after being idle for 60s I get:
ERROR 2013 (HY000): Lost connection to MySQL server during query
When I re-issue the command I get:
ERROR 2006 (HY000): MySQL server has gone away.
No Connection. Trying to reconnect...
Then the client reconnects and runs the command. I don't know why this is occurring and am worried it may affect DB users' connections. Some troubleshooting:
When I connect without SSL this does not occur
I have been ignoring this issue for a while so can not say what change may have led to this. I certainly remember connecting with SSL in the past and not having these timeouts.
I can RDP to the server, connect to DB with command line tool and SHOW FULL PROCESSLIST. I can see the localhost connection plus the remote client connection. When the client has just been started I see Command as 'Sleep' and State as 'cleaning up'. I can issue commands from the client. When Time > 60 State changes to Null and the client shows the above symptoms.
I've read through this, tried all standard suggestions but can't even seem to find any mention of this behaviour. Is it normal?
Wait_timeout and interactive_timeout are set at 28800 so I don't think this is the problem.
net_read_timeout=30 and net_write_timeout=60 but these are tiny commands
connect_timeout=10 but connection is not the issue.
Credentials and permissions are fine as I can connect originally.
Error log has entries corresponding to this event as:
Aborted connection xxx to db: <dbname> user: '<user>' host: '<host>' (Unknown Error)
Firewall logs show that traffic seems to be flowing just fine.
I took a capture of network traffic on the server and saw the below. The blue is the original connection. In orange you can see that at 73s I issue a new command which is met in red with [FIN, ACK] then [RST, ACK] from the server. The green afterward is when the command is reissued and the reconnection occurs. Note the change in client port. Handshakes seem to be fine. Beyond that I'm lost. I'm a data guy, not a network guy.
Anyone have any insights or ideas? Thanks.

Sorry if it comes a bit late, but the reason is this bug https://jira.mariadb.org/browse/MDEV-9836 . SSL connection were aborted after net_read_timeout (which is quite short) not after net_wait_timeout.
So I have been trying to get XAMPP up and running for awhile now. I see there is plenty of documentation on this problem but most of them don't seem to be helping my situation so I would really appreciate someones help walking me through this.
Ok when I started apache wouldn't start but when I changed it so that it would be using port 85 that at least started. My next problem has been with MySql. It is currently running on port 3306 (I had something else that was using that port but I deleted it) when I click to start MySql it just says it is attempting to start but doesn't do anything. When I go to phpMyAdmin I get this error message
2002 - No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.
The server is not responding (or the local server's socket is not correctly configured).
Are there any procedures I can go though to get this thing up and running?!
I am getting the following error
ERROR 2013 (HY000): Lost connection to MySQL server at
'reading authorization packet', system error: 0
when trying to connect to my MySQL server.
What I am doing:
I have Master - Slave replication in MySQL that is working and just added load balance capabilities using F5.
I have configured the F5 according to their site.
But when I am trying to connect to my MySQL server using the IP that the F5 was configured with I get
ERROR 2013 (HY000): Lost connection to MySQL server at
'reading authorization packet', system error: 0
Any ideas?
Update on my progress : ZERO
- i am getting the same error
I get no entries in the /var/log/secure as if somebody would try to authenticate coming form the ip where i had created my load balance server.
No enties in the mysql error log.
The command - returns nothing
mysql> SHOW GLOBAL STATUS LIKE 'Aborted_connections';
Empty set (0.00 sec)
I've already altered my my.cnf file and add the
[mysqld]
skip-name-resolve
Alterd the connect_timeout to 10.
So it seems i get no response for the server i have created on my F5
I finally convinced the F5 admin to pass me the log for the F5 server and i have exctraced all i need form it.
Here is the output :

I've replaced the ip for security sake !
just as an extra - and i think is here the problem - my mysql version is 5.1.69-log
Thx All
From documentation:
More rarely, it can happen when the client is attempting the initial
connection to the server. In this case, if your connect_timeout value
is set to only a few seconds, you may be able to resolve the problem
by increasing it to ten seconds, perhaps more if you have a very long
distance or slow connection. You can determine whether you are
experiencing this more uncommon cause by using SHOW STATUS LIKE
'aborted_connections'. It will increase by one for each initial
connection attempt that the server aborts. You may see “reading
authorization packet” as part of the error message; if so, that also
suggests that this is the solution that you need.
Try increasing connect_timeout in your my.cnf file
Another style:
MySQL: Lost connection to MySQL server at 'reading initial communication packet'
At some point, it was impossible for remote clients to connect to
the MySQL server.
The client (some application on a Windows platform) gave a vague
description like Connection unexpectedly terminated.
When remotely logging in with the MySQL client the following error
appeared:
ERROR 2013 (HY000): Lost connection to MySQL server at 'reading initial communication packet', system error: 0
On FreeBSD this happens because there was no match found in /etc/hosts.allow. Adding the following line before the line saying ALL:ALL fixes this:
mysqld: ALL: allow
On non-FreeBSD Unix systems, it is worth to check the files /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny. If you are restricting connections, make sure this line is in /etc/hosts.allow:
mysqld: ALL
or check if the host is listed in /etc/hosts.deny.
In Arch Linux, a similar line can be added to /etc/hosts.allow:
mysqld: ALL
This is usually caused by an aborted connect. You can verify this by checking the status:
mysql> SHOW GLOBAL STATUS LIKE 'Aborted_connects';
If this counter keeps increasing as you get the lost connections, that's a sign you're having a problem during connect.
One remedy that seems to work in many cases is to increase the timeout. A suggested value is 10 seconds:
mysql> SET GLOBAL connect_timeout = 10;
Another common cause of connect timeouts is the reverse-DNS lookup that is necessary when authenticating clients. It is recommended to run MySQL with the config variable in my.cnf:
[mysqld]
skip-name-resolve
This means that your GRANT statements need to be based on IP address rather than hostname.
I also found this report from 2012 at the f5.com site (now protected by login, but I got it through Google cache)
It is likely the proxy will not work unless you are running BIG-IP 11.1 and MySQL 5.1, which were the versions I tested against. The MySQL protocol has a habit of changing.
I suggest you contact F5 Support and confirm that you are using a supported combination of versions.
I've struggled a lot with this error. Tried every single answer I found on the internet.
In the end, I've connected my computer to my cell phone's hotspot and everything worked. I turned out that my company's internet was blocking the connection with MySQL.
This is not a complete solution, but maybe someone faces the same problem. It worths to check the connection.
I solved this by stopping mysql several times.
$ mysql.server stop
Shutting down MySQL
.. ERROR! The server quit without updating PID file (/usr/local/var/mysql/xxx.local.pid).
$ mysql.server stop
Shutting down MySQL
.. SUCCESS!
$ mysql.server stop
ERROR! MySQL server PID file could not be found! (note: this is good)
$ mysql.server start
All good from here. I suspect mysql had been started more than once.
My case was that the server didn't accept the connection from this IP. The server is a SQL server from Google Apps Engine, and you have to configure allowed remote hosts that can connect to the server.
Adding the (new) host to the GAE admin page solved the issue.
I have a mac but would assume all linux are the same for this part...
In my case I got this:
2018-12-03 11:13:27 - Start server:
2018-12-03 11:13:27 - Server start done.
2018-12-03 11:13:27 - Checking server status...
2018-12-03 11:13:27 - Trying to connect to MySQL...
2018-12-03 11:13:27 - Lost connection to MySQL server at 'reading authorization packet', system error: 0 (2013)
2018-12-03 11:13:27 - Assuming server is not running
I ran this:
sudo killall mysqld
And then started the mysql again through mysqlworkbench although in your case it might be like this:
mysql.server start
*sidenote: I tried running mysql.server stop and got this Shutting down MySQL
.... SUCCESS! but after running ps aux | grep mysql I saw that it hasn't really shut down...
I use several mysql connections (connecting to different sets of databases) in localhost.
This happened to me after I shut my computer down and mysql was not properly shutdown. After starting my machine I was able to successfully connect to multiple db connections except one (I used this a lot before my machine shutdown).
As per the instructions in this posts I doubled connect_timeout but I was not able to connect to that one database connection.
I restarted my machine and i can successfully connect now. This will help you unblock yourself but it'd be great if it can be fixed without restarting the machine.
Another concern is: connection_timeout seemed to me delay related problem but I was getting the error immediately in localhost when there is no network in the equation.
In my case, it happened when there were a lot of connection to the MySQL server (15,000 connections) and the free memory was about 120M . After I added more memory to the server, the error was gone.
I scratched my head about this error for 3 days. I tried tweaking permissions on the database, new users from different IPs in the Users table, adjusting the bind-address in a bunch of different ways, comparing my my.cnf file to a known working server, firewall changes, upstream firewall changes, hosts.allow/deny...none of them worked.
Then I looked not at mysql/error.log (which came up empty) but my journalctl -xe log and low and behold, it couldn't read my /etc/hosts.allow and my /etc/hosts.deny file.
chmod 644 hosts.allow
chmod 644 hosts.deny.
All better now.
Another possibility can be connection reset from the TCP wrappers (/etc/hosts.deny and /etc/hosts.allow). Just check what is coming in from the telnet to port 3306 - if it is nothing, then there is something is in the middle preventing communication from happening.
I've created my account just to add this bit of information to this old question, because nowhere on the web I found any reference to the cause of my problem which I eventually found.
(Adding it here cause this is the top google result, also when adding PHP as search term)
In PHP 7.4 when you fork a process (I know, who does this??) that has an active MySQL connection, the connection will get messed up and spit out the OP's error.
just reinitialize/recreate the connection in each forked process after the forking, this will fix it.
Hope it this helps anybody.
I got both errors: mostly reading initial communication packet and reading authorization packet one time. It seems random, but sometimes I was able to establish a connection after reboots, but after some time the error creeped back.
Avoiding the 5GHz WiFi in the client seems to have fixed the issue. That's what worked for me (server was always connected to 2.4GHz).
I tried everything from server versions, odbc connector versions, firewall settings, installing some windows update (and then uninstalling them), some of the answers posted here, etc... lost my entire sleep time for today. Super tired day awaits me.
If you get this when using DevDesktop - just restart DevDesktop!
I use JDBC to connect to MySQL. When it’s at localhost:3306, everything is OK.
But when I move my application to another computer in the intranet, and use <Intranet-IP>:3306 to connect to the MySQL database, it takes about 1 minute to connect to MySQL successfully. What’s up with this?
Well it could be a DNS problem. You can disable DNS host name lookups by starting mysqld with the --skip-name-resolve option in the configuration file.
Read here for more details: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/host-cache.html
The --skip-name-resolve worked great for me.
To make it permanent, I just add this line at the end of file my.ini in the [mysql] section:
skip-name-resolve
And voilá! Transactions now fly!
For me it was this solution I found here, If IP6 connectivity is enabled, connection to "localhost" may be slow, instead use the ip address, 127.0.0.1. This worked for me.
my mysql slow to connect problem was solved by this solution
firewalls, Internet, routing etc etc slows down your connection.
You should put your database on a intra net instead. Keep it local and behind your big firewall. You can of course have firewall and security between computers. I'd recommend that you didn't expose your mysql database connection to the Internet unfiltered that way.
comment / finding to a really REALLY old question.
background - typical: connecting from windows (various) to sql server on win or linux server slow ... multiple seconds (even from win client on VBox to server on same host)
skip-name-resolve, dns-bind - tried all sorts, regardless no effect.
Looked at the manual - connection string options - no time to learn what they mean, one-by-one set-and-try - as long as nothing breaks.
adding sslmode=none; to connection string ... connecting in literally less than 1/10th the time. sub-second connections, milliseconds!
Note:
It's in a small office private LAN so don't GAS any security FUD
... It works ... I'll take it.
