I am trying to set up a new connection on MySQL workbench and I am getting this error:


"failed to connect to MySQL at 127.0.0.1:3306 with user root.

Can't connect to MySQL server on 127.0.0.1(10061)"

can someone just help me with the technicalities in setting up a (new) successful connection for a newbie? Thanks

the likeliest problem is that your mysql is not running. This maybe because you have not installed mysql (benchmark is just a front end) or you have it installed but its not running.

if you have installed mysql navigate to
C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server your versoon\bin using command line and type 'mysqld' to start the mysql server.

if you have not installed it at all, download and install it first and do the above.

keep coding, bro
