I then typed "SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'skip_networking' " and it saysĪpparently I should turn it off, but I don't know how. I looked this up and apparently it may have to do with skip network. I typed in "SHOW GLOBAL VARIABLES LIKE 'PORT' " and it says Here are some information that may help:ġ) On terminal, I've typed in "/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql" and it brought me to "MySQL>". I've tried many things by following things online. **Things I've Tried/Useful information: ** When I test connection, it says "Can't connect to MySQL server on '127.0.0.1' (61)". I have also tried Setting up my own connection, using Standard TCP/IP, Hostname-127.0.0.1, port 3306, username -root. Please set the command that must be used to start the server in the remote management section of this connections settings." When I try pressing the start server button in "Instance" -> "Startup/Shutdown", it says "Command to start the server is not configured. After I connect to the default local instance 3306, it says server status is stopped and there is no connection. I have the MySQL server RUNNING (it says running in Systems Preference -> MySQL) and yet start a local server on my laptop. I've downloaded the MySQL 8.0.17 and Workbench 8.0.17. I'd deeply appreciate it if any can help. I'm getting quite frustrated having spent hours and hours trying to get MySQL and workbench working.
