Hi Mr. Bin,

Thank you for your bug report.

Are you reporting a bug in MySQL Workbench, or on the server ???

Why don't you try to connect with mysql command-line client and see whether it works ......

Hi,

Why don't you try with our mysql command line client ....

Find where mysql.exe binary is and then run the following command:

mysql.exe  -uroot -pPassWord -P3306  dbname 

Please replace 'root', 'PassWord' , '3306' and 'dbname' with appropriate value ...

If mysql.exe does not manage to connect, that means that your server was not started.
