I'm starting to learn MySQL. When I try to connect, I get the error: 2003 - Can't connect MySQL server on 'localhost' The problem is that I don’t understand how the Navicat program (and others like it) when specifying only the connection port (localhost - port 3306) to look for MySQL database on the computer. MySQL installed like this, just downloaded the archive from the official site and unzipped it to D: \

  • one
    restart the computer, perhaps, localhost is 127.0.0.1 - Gorets
  • It was necessary to simply run in the bin folder mysqld.exe and mysql.exe - stream2006

If at the site, then there are sources in the archives. You need an installer

For GUI to DB I advise native utility
