Workbench not creating Server Instances
Posted by: John Sheridan

I am using MySQL Server 5.6, as a Windows service.

The MySQL Server service is running, because it starts up automatically.

I am using Workbench v5.2.47 CE.

Both were installed using the MySQL Installer.

I am running as a user with administrative privileges.

NOTE: This all is running on Windows 8.

I am attempting to create a new server instance.

1. I go to the main page and click on the "New Server Instance" link.

2. My service is local, so I select localhost and click Next.

3. I do not change anything in the subsequent screen (because I know, after a lot of attempts, that this will not work). Because I am doing administration, I leave the login at root. I click on Next.

4. Workbench tests the connection to my service. All tests succeed. I click on Next.

5. The subsequent window that comes up says "No MySQL Service Found". The comboox has nothing in it. And because it cannot find my running service I cannot proceed at all.

6. I have tried restarting the system several times (this seemed to solve a similar problem with Server 5.5), but the problem persits.

Have I found a bug in this Workbench? Or is there some way that I can make it find my MySQL service?

Someone please advise.
