Re: MySQL Workbench unable to connect to MySQL Server

[Mike Lischke]

Hey Jackie,

is your server actually running? The tile you see on the homescreen is auto created on first start up if WB finds a MySQL service. You can open the SQL + adm IDE still with a not-available server. You can then go to the start/stop section in the admin part and check if the server is running (and start it there if not).
