MySQL Workbench 5.2 CE, Windows 7, “Can't connect to MySQL Server on 127.0.0.1 (10061)”

Question

I\'ve seen this problem asked a bunch of times on here but every solution posted hasn\'t been helpful for me.

I just got the x86 install and installed MySQL Workbenc

Answer 1

I had the same problem and i solved

In my case.

While i am installing the software in configuration phase i selected development machine instead of server so that i got the problem.

So i uninstalled the mysqlinstaller and try delete all it's files in c:program files\mysql Reinstalled the mysqlinstaller this time i selected "server" so that problem solved.

Note: If anyone couldn't solve the same problem by above solutions except mine try to do the same as i done. Because in services i couldn't find mysql55 service and i couldn't locate some files in cmd.
