Fixing errors during installation of MySql Workbench in Linux.

Errors -

• mysql can't connect to localhost.

1. Go to /etc/my.cnf

2. Add the following lines to your file if these are not written already-

    #skip-networking
    bind-address = 127.0.0.1
    port=3306
    datadir=/var/lib/mysql
    socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
    log-error=/var/log/mysqld.log
    pid-file=/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid
    [mysql.server]
    basedir=/var/lib/mysql
   

3. Remove 'skip-grant-tables', if it is written in the file.

4. sudo systemctl daemon-reload.

5. sudo systemctl restart mysqld.

Now, you can connect your mysql workbench to localhost.
