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 gt  To change the password     cd  usr local mysql bin      mysqladmin -u root -p password  new password  Enter Password   lt type new password here gt      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

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

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
