I have the following information to a SQL database
Server : MyUserName.mysql.db
User : MyUserName
Password : MyPassWord
I am a little noob in this context, so I have some questions:
How to know where is hosted my database? Is it in mysql domain? (Isn't that the type of database?)
How can I access it and visualize it?
To begin with, you need a CLIENT to be able to access your database. For MySQL, you can use either Workbench or MySQL CLIENT (the last giving you command-line level access).
Second, and according to your information, the server is MyUserName.mysql.db so if you try to PING that server you should get some response.
Third, MySQL has a default port number so you need to configure your client to access that server though that port (if I'm not mistaking, 3306).
You will also need access credentials to your database.
Your DB administrator should be able to provide all the information you need.
Contact your database administrator.
If you're trying to acess/visualize sql server database on your local computer install ssms to connect to your local database , similarly you can access any other database through ssms.
I have a VPS(VestaCP) with a WordPress installation, and the domain is no longer available. I have set up a temporary URL Using the following instructions: Link
I now have an issue establishing connection.
I've went into the wp-config.php and added the following lines thinking it would solve my issue... But it didn't
// Add these lines to wp-config.php:
define('WP_SITEURL', 'http://*tempurlhere*-com.alpha.*myurl*.com/');
define('WP_HOME', 'http://*tempurlhere*-com.alpha.*myurl*.com/');
Is there something I'm missing? Should I replace the url with the server IP?
The reason for "ERROR ESTABLISHING DATABASE CONNECTION" is the inability of WordPress to reach MySQL or authenticate properly. Check the values of DB_USER,DB_HOST,DB_PASSWORD, and DB_NAME. Fix if needed. Make sure the user exists in MySQL, is allowed to connect from your web host, and has the rights to the database given by DB_NAME. If that does not solve the problem, check if MySQL server up and running. If yes, can it be reached from the web server (e.g. maybe MySQL port is firewalled)?
To check accessibility of the MySQL server from your web host, ssh to the web host, and run:
mysql -u <DB_USER> -p<DB_PASSWORD> -h <DB_HOST> <DB_NAME>
Replacing <var> with the actual values. Note the absence of space between -p and the DB_PASSWORD value.
If the connectivity is confirmed, double-check that you are editing the correct wp-config.php that WordPress is actually using, e.g by adding die("Loading this file now"); at the very top of it, then check if you see that message when you load the site.
If that is indeed the case, verify that the PHP installation includes a functional MySQL driver by writing an small program that will use mysqli_connect() with the relevant credentials and report success or error.
I'm having problems Creating Users in a Silverlight Business Application that uses the Local IIS Web Server.
If I use the Visual Studio Development Server I have no problems, but once I check "Use Local IIS Web Server" in the properties page and run the application, whenever I try to create a new user using "login->Register now" I get an "Unable to connect to SQL Server" error.
I found a similar problem as mine and the solution was to use aspnet_regsql in the command prompt.
If I have to use this tool, then I don't know how to use it:
aspnet_regsql.exe -S DBServerName -U DBLogin -P DBPassword -A all -d DBName
What should I enter in these parameters:
DBServerName: I guess it's ".\sqlexpress"
DBLogin and DBPassword: Kind of a login and password for the database?
DBName: If I'm not using any particular database, then what?
Please, what should I do here?
Navigate to the wizard(C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework[framework version]\aspnet_regsql) and launch it , you will be able to see a form appear and you can enter details here rather than using the command prompt.
Also within VS , from top menu select WEBSITE -> ASP.Net Configuration you should be able to see all your user and role details (you can tst the connectivity as this will pull of data based on your web.config/app.config settings)
I want to run a .sql batch script to delete records from a number of tables from cmd window. So, for that I am trying to connect to my local instance of SQLEXPRESS using following command-
sqlcmd -e -s \SQLEXPRESS
However, I am not able to connect and getting following error:
'Named Pipes Provider: Could not open a connection to SQL Server [2]'.
One more weird thing that I notice from the error message is that above command is trying to connect to SQL Server 2005 whereas the instance running on my machine is SQLEXPRESS 2008.
Can anyone please guide.
P.S. I am using Windows Authentication to connect to SQLEXPRESS which is when I go to connect using Mgmt Studio.
Sorry about the late response (just came across your question when searching for something unrelated), but it looks to me like you're just using the wrong case on your arguments:
sqlcmd -E -S .\SQLEXPRESS
-S means "server", whereas -s means "colseparator" (and similarly, lowercase e means echo rather than integrated auth)
Isn't it possible that the '.' is missing from your command?
sqlcmd -e -S .\SQLEXPRESS
EDIT:
Visit this page. There you fill find some instructions to get connected to your server. First check the Hresult error code in your error message.
I also tried it myself, because I could emulate your problem. I had to do the steps below in order to connect with sqlcmld
Go to All programs\Microsoft SQL Server\Configuration Tools\SQL Server Surface Area Configuration
In Services and connections select SQLEXPRESS\Database Engine\Remote connections
Check Local and remote connections and Using both TCP/IP and named pipes. Click OK.
Restart your database service.
Try to connect to the server:
sqlcmd -Snp:\\.\pipe\MSSQL$SQLEXPRESS\sql\query
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.

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
