Running MYSQL 5.5.12 and MYSQL Workbench 1:5.2.34 on up-to-date Arch linux
Set up MYSQL with root account and password. When running Workbench as user, got error when trying to connect :
Quote:
Cannot Connect to Database Server
Your connection attempt failed for user 'root' from your host to server at 127.0.0.1:3306:
Can't connect to MySQL server on '127.0.0.1' (111)
Please:
1 Check that mysql is running on server 127.0.0.1
2 Check that mysql is running on port 3306 (note: 3306 is the default, but this can be changed)
3 Check the root has rights to connect to 127.0.0.1 from your address (mysql rights define what clients can connect to the server and from which machines)
4 Make sure you are both providing a password if needed and using the correct password for 127.0.0.1 connecting from the host address you're connecting from

Copying my.cnf to /etc/ and running Workbench as root didn't change anything, i still get the second error
The wiki
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/MySQL says to enable MYSQL in /etc/hosts.allow but i didn't do it, i guess it is required only when trying to access MYSQL from remote hosts which i dont
