Hi all,
I have MySQL 5.5.24 and MySQL-Workbench 5.2.40 installed on a Windows 7 VM. MySQL is working fine; can connect as root and other users to it using the command line client.
However - the MySQL Workbench seems to have some sort of intermittent problem with connecting to the localhost DB to start a query. It connects about 1 attempt in every 20, and the rest of the time it just attempts to connect to the database on localhost:3306 (and does ask for a password), but then just aborts and comes up with the message "Connection cancelled" in the bottom left-hand corner of the window.
If I test the connection via the "Manage Connections" option, it says everything is correct. The command-line client also comes up if selected via the "Start Command Line Client" option. The Server Administration window will come up every time as well.
I also tried putting the 5.2.40 workbench on another Windows 7 PC and connecting to the DB on the VM, and this worked fine. I've tried repairing my workbench installation but that hasn't helped.
The general logs and error logs don't seem to give much of a clue as to what is going on when the connection is cancelled.
Has anyone else experienced this? It seems to be some sort of Windows-problem, but I just can't nail down what exactly the issue is.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Cheers,
Corey.
