connect ECONNREFUSED - node js , sql

Question

I have the next code in a js file:

var mysql = require(\'mysql\');
var TEST_DATABASE = \'nodejs_mysql_test\';
var TEST_TABLE = \'test\';
var         


        

Answer 1

I got this error when MySQL Server was not running.

I changed my configuration via Initialize Database in MySQL.PrefPane, the System Preferences tool for MySQL on OS X - to Use Legacy Password Encryption - to fix ER_NOT_SUPPORTED_AUTH_MODE. This config change stopped MySQL Server and then I got ECONNREFUSED when I tried to connect to MySQL from node.js.

Fixed by restarting MySQL Server from the MySQL System Preferences tool.
