Incase you are running on a non-default port  you may try using --port  lt port num gt   provided --skip-networking is not enabled

If you have tried all of the above and it still did not work  Check firewall  I was trying to connect from a windows machine to a MySql Server 5 7 32 installed on a VirtualBox machine with CentOs7  I have tried everything and it was not working  even though i could ping the machine i couldn t connect to the MySql Server  On CentOs7 the commands to check the firewall are  Step 1  Check the status of your firewall service  systemctl status firewallid service  Step 2  Disable the firewall service systemctl stop firewallid service

Try dont shut down iptables and open port 3306   sudo iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 3306 -j ACCEPT   or sudo ufw allow 3306 if you use ufw   check  netstat -lnp   grep mysql you should get sth like that   cp        0      0 127 0 0 1 3306          0 0 0 0                 LISTEN      2048 mysqld          tcp6       0      0    33060                                        LISTEN      2048 mysqld          unix  2        ACC       STREAM     LISTENING     514961   2048 mysqld           var run mysqld mysqld sock unix  2        ACC       STREAM     LISTENING     514987   2048 mysqld           var run mysqld mysqlx sock   if you have null then delete   before port        3306 in cnf file

You need to change the bind-address parameter to 127 0 0 1 in the mysql config file  my ini or my cnf  or use the one that is defined there   If that doesn t work you should check that the mysql service is actually running

This happens when you forget to start the database before connecting to it   mysql server start   then  mysql -u root -p -h 127 0 0 1

For Docker users - When trying to connect local sql using mysql -u root -h 127 0 0 1 -p and your database is running on Docker container  make sure the mysql service is up and running  verify using docker ps and also check that you are in the right port as well    if the container is down you ll get connection error   Best practice is to set the ip s in  etc hosts on your machine   127 0 0 1 db local   and running it by mysql -u root -h db local -p

look at the my cnf file  if there contain  client  section  and the port is other than real listen port  default 3306   you must connect the server with explicit parameter -P 3306  e g      mysql -u root -h 127 0 0 1 -p -P 3306

I changed the installation directory on re-install  and it worked

User · Answer

This problem may occur because your MySQL server is not installed and running  To do that start command prompt as admin and enter command    C  Program Files  x86  MySQL MySQL Server 5 1 bin mysqld  --install   If you get  service successfully installed  message then you need to start the MySQL service  To do that  go to Services window  Task Manager -  Services -  Open Services   Search for MySQL and Start it from the top navigation bar  Then if try to open mysql exe it will work

Try localhost instead of 127 0 0 1 to connect or in your connection-config  Worked for me on a Debian Squeeze Server

[mysql] ERROR 2003 (HY000): Can't connect to MySQL server on '127.0.0.1' (111)
