Can t connect to MySQL server on 127 0 0 1 10061 2003

Question

I know this question was asked a lot before but I tried some of the solutions which were given and nothing worked    I have downloaded MySQL Workbench 6 1 on my windows 7 x64 and now as I want to start and do a simple DB I set a new MySQL Connection and let it as default the Hostname  port and the username I just set the name of the connection  In the beginning it was showing down in the action output that Could not connect Server may not be run and in the msg part it was written Can t connect to MySQL server on  127 0 0 1   10061  but I thought I would be able to do a DB and test it Then I created simple DB and when I wanted to execute it I couldn t press the Bolt which execute the DB so I tried from Query and I pressed the 2nd option which is  Execute All or Selection  to text  as I couldn t choose any other option and this error was shown Can t connect to MySQL server on  127 0 0 1   10061   2003   I am new in this I have used SQL Plus for a while but it is not the same   Thanks in advance

Looks like the mysql server is not started.

Look to the official documentation of MySQL how you can start a service under windows.

Install the server as a service using this command: C:> "C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.5\bin\mysqld" --install

If you have already created a localhost connection and its still showing can not connect then goto taskbar and find the MySQL notifier icon  Click on that and check whether your connection name is running or stopped  If its stopped then start or restart  I was facing the same issue but it fixed my problem

If you have already installed MySQL on a windows machine make sure it is running as a service   You can do that by   Start --  services --  MySQL ver  --  Right-Click --  Start

Slightly different case  but it may help someone   I followed the instructions to create a secondary database instance  and I had to clone the ini file as part of that  It was failing to start the service  with the same error  Turns out notepad exe had re-encoded the cloned ini file as UTF8-BOM  and MySQL  version 8  refused to work with it  Removing the BOM fixed the problem

In my case  I had installed a new installation of MYSQL 8  and WORKBENCH etc  so that I could then work on an old WordPress website  No matter what I did  it wouldn t work  Kept getting  quot ERROR ESTABLISHING CONNECTION quot  etc  Thinking that it was maybe something to do with WordPress since it is old   I tried a basic manual connection with PHP and nothing  Eventually  I figured out that I had to downgrade MySQL  So I went back to MYSQL installer  found the server  and downgraded MYSQL from 8 0 back to 5 5 As soon as I did that  everything worked

maybe it has a different solution  but I fixed it by finding mysqld exe and running following command in the console   C  wamp bin mysql mysql5 6 17 bin mysqld exe --console   You should be able to see following result

Windows  If you have already installed MySQL server  cd C  Program Files MySQL MySQL Server X X bin  mysqld --install  and still cannot connect  then the service did not start automatically  Just try  Start   Search  services   and scroll down until you see  MySQLXX   where the XX represents the MySQL Server version  If the Status isn t  Started   then  Right Click   Start  If you are here you should be golden

I was facing the same problem  but what I did not realise is that I did not have the MySQL Server installed  You must simply install the MySQL Server  In order to install the MySQL server  you must run the  quot MySql Installer quot  and then press the  quot Add quot  button and then choose the  quot MySQL Server quot  in the tree  After doing that  run you workbench again and you ll notice that there ll already be a connection configured  Hopefully  you ll be able to create a new connection or as many connections as you want

I know that there are a lot of answers to this question already already but i wanted to share my experience as none of the answers provided fixed this issue for me   After about a day of exploring different solutions I believe the issue was that I have recently installed XAMPP and it was interfering with the MySQL workbench  I have tried changing the port numbers however this hasn t helped  and it seems that both programs are sharing configuration files  Repairing MySQL in the Control Panel didn t resolve it  so now I am uninstalling MySQL and plan to reinstall it  Another potential solution maybe to uninstall XAMPP however the config files may either be deleted  or left in the xampp folder instead of the MySQL folder by doing so

Resolved this issue by navigating to C  xampp mysql bin and double clicking on mysqld exe and then allow access in the pop up that comes  My server status on workbench changed to running

To re-iterate what Jens wrote in more current code  first open the Command Prompt with Administrator access by right-clicking the Command Prompt icon and select  Run as administrator    Then cut and paste the following into the Command Prompt at the C   directory level    C  Program Files  x86  MySQL MySQL Server 5 6 bin mysqld  --install    You may have to change the name of the folder depending on where MySQL is installed and what version it is
