Make sure that your /etc/mysql/my.cnf does not have bind-address set, then restart the server. This will allow connections from localhost.

There are many possible issues:




  • Make sure the service is really up and running: netstat -plnt | grep mysql

  • make sure it is on the address:port you expect it to see, for examlpe here you won't be able to connect from outside because the only IP with MySQL is localhost:
    tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:3306 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 12460/mysqld. If you don't see it here but see in the processes (ps -eF | grep mysqld) then perhaps it is bound to socket only.

  • make sure the process is alive by logging in from console: mysql -u user -p

  • make sure the firewall(s) allow(s) your remote host to connect to the server to that port (e.g. nmap, windows version available too)

  • make sure there's no typo in workbench connection settings.
