Re: MySQL Workbench crashes

[Chris Wilson]

Hey Robin, that sounds frustrating! You might want to first check if MySQL is running by using mysql.server status in the terminal. If it’s not, try starting it manually. If it is running but Workbench keeps crashing, a fresh install of MySQL Workbench might help—just make sure to completely uninstall the old version first. It might also be worth checking the Console app (Applications > Utilities > Console) for any crash logs related to MySQL Workbench. If it’s still not working, try connecting via the command line with mysql -u root -p to see if the issue is specific to Workbench. Hope this helps, let me know if you're still having trouble!
