Failed to connect to mysql at localhost 3306 with user root => http://monhisupa.nnmcloud.ru/d?s=YToyOntzOjc6InJlZmVyZXIiO3M6MjE6Imh0dHA6Ly9iaXRiaW4uaXQyX2RsLyI7czozOiJrZXkiO3M6NTk6IkZhaWxlZCB0byBjb25uZWN0IHRvIG15c3FsIGF0IGxvY2FsaG9zdCAzMzA2IHdpdGggdXNlciByb290Ijt9 Find which process running on 3306 port. If I try to telnet to port 3306 that also fails. Because that row has a Host value 'localhost' that is more specific than '%', it is used in preference to the new row when connecting from localhost! If that all goes to now avail try to restart mysql without privileges and give the output of the mysql. On the pc, you will ba able to connect to 127. To determine whether you need to initialize the grant tables, look for a mysql directory under the data directory. However, every time I test a connection there is an error message that says Failed to connect to mysql at 127. Retry 5: Attempting to connect to Mysql localhost:3306 with user root with no password. You can suppress the use of option files by a client program by invoking it with the option. I have since come back to launch the Workbench and am unable to connect to the server. At the starting of the server configuration it stuck at startin g server. The structure of the grant tables changes occasionally when new capabilities are added, so after an upgrade you should always make sure that your tables have the current structure. database - Waiting 3 seconds before the next connection attempt. My server says the local address is :::3306, meaning any address. If it is not, clients cannot connect to it. To correct this when you invoke a client program, specify a option to indicate the proper port number, or a option to indicate the proper named pipe or Unix socket file. For distributions that do not do this, you failed to connect to mysql at localhost 3306 with user root initialize the data directory manually. To determine whether you need to initialize the grant tables, look for a mysql directory under the data directory. Make sure that you have a file named user. If not, initialize the data directory. For instructions on setting the initial passwords, see. The structure of the grant tables changes occasionally when new capabilities are added, so after an upgrade you should always make sure that your tables have the current structure. If a client program seems to be sending incorrect default connection parameters when you have not specified them on the command line, check any applicable option files and your environment. For example, if you get Access denied when you run a client without any options, make sure that you have not specified an old password in any of your option files. You can suppress the use of option files by a client program by invoking it with the option. Environment variables are listed in. Try the option as described in the previous item. For information on changing passwords, see. If you have lost or forgotten the root password, see. If you do not use for these statements, the password will not work. Each of those automatically uses to encrypt the password. You can use a option to name the server host explicitly. In this case, the host name must be specified in a user table row on the server host, even though you are running the client program on the same host as the server. Normally, you should have one row in the user table that exactly matches the host name and user name that were given in the error message. Then change the '%' in the user table row to the actual host name that shows up in the log. Otherwise, your system is left insecure because it permits connections from any host for the given user name. A common problem here is that the Host value in the user table row specifies an unqualified host name, but your system's name resolution routines return a fully qualified domain name or vice versa. Alternatively, you could add a row to the user table with a Host value that contains a wildcard; for example, 'pluto. However, use of Host values ending with % is insecure and is not recommended. Because that row has a Host value 'localhost' that is more specific than '%', it is used in preference to the new row when connecting from localhost. After deleting the row, remember to issue a statement to reload the grant tables. Otherwise, your changes have no effect until the next time the server is restarted. Remember that after you change the root password with an statement, you will not need to specify the new password until after you flush the privileges, because the server will not know you've changed the password yet. Reloading the grant tables affects new client connections, but it also affects existing connections as indicated in. If you are able to connect using the client, the problem lies with your program, not with the access privileges. There is no space between -p and the password; you can also use the syntax to specify the password. When you are satisfied with your changes, execute to tell the server to reload the privileges. This enables you to begin using the new grant table contents without stopping and restarting the server. This problem occurs infrequently because the host table is rarely used. This prints host and user information about attempted connections, as well as information about each command issued. You can dump the tables with the command.
