无法使用 Navicat 连接到 mySQL

Question

Please, I just migrated from Windows to Mac recently. I installed XAMPP on my mac and also installed PHP and MySQL using Homebrew on my mac. I can easily connect to the MySQL from homebrew using the Navicat if I start it using the command brew services start mysql

But, the problem is if I stop the brew service and start my XAMPP, I can't connect to MySQL. I can easily connect with phpMyAdmin web, but with Navicat, it keeps throwing error that it can't connect to the localhost .

I tried looking up the port the MySQL is running and it is 3306 . But using host=localhost , username=root , password=<empty> , port=3306 but I still get the error.

Any help is appreciated.

Answer 1

I know the post is old, but I still think it's useful to come up with solutions anyway. I'm using MAMP and I just had a configuration problem, to allow access to MySQL.

When I checked "Allow network access to MySQL", it was OK for me.

Hope it helps someone.
