MYSQL workbench connection not starting - mysql-workbench

I have windows 8.1 and I am trying to install MYSQL workbench 5.2CE.
But it is showing this error :"Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061)".In program files under mysql there is no bin folder and even in services.msc there is no process for mysql.
What should I do.
Thanks in advance

MySQL Workbench is only a client program and needs a server to work against. If you want to work with MySQL locally on Windows I recommend to use the MySQL Installer for Windows, which not only installes MySQL Workbench, but also a server of your choice (by default: the current GA version).
Once that is installed MySQL Workbench will automatically detect the server and you can immediately start a connection to it.

ORA-12154: TNS: could not resolve the connect identifier specified (but Net Manager tests fine!)

I am running Lyris ListManager on a Win 2008 server. It connects to Oracle 12c on another machine.
I have successfully configured and tested the connection using the Net Manger (or Net Configuration Assistant). However, when I run ListManger, I receive this Oracle error (TNS: could not resolve the connect identifier specified).
I checked the configuration file for the ListManager (lmcfg.txt), which correctly specifies everything.
Previously, we had Oracle 11g database, and 11g client on this server, which worked fine. DB upgrade to 12c was successful (other applications, on other servers, work fine), and I removed 11g client and installed 12c. It successfully connects to the Oracle server with the correct service ID, but Lyris ListManger application can't connect.
What am I missing here?
The root of the problem was in multiple client installations. At some point during the troubleshooting, I installed, and then uninstalled 64-bit client. After that, I installed 32-bit client and got it to connect through the Net Manager. However, that 64-bit client wasn't correctly and completely removed, and the ODBC driver was still looking at its original path for DLL libraries (which weren't there anymore).
I had to add a new ODBC driver entry for the 32-bit Oracle client. Once this was properly configured, the ListManager application was able to connect to Oracle server.

InnoSetup - How to detect if MySQL Workbench is installed?

I'm creating an installer for modeling software, and we encourage our users to install MySQL Workbench to access model output. However, because the MySQL installation process isn't exactly straight forward, many users end up only installing MySQL Server and fail to install MySQL Workbench. How can I detect during my installation process if MySQL Workbench is installed?
On my development machine, there is a registry entry at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MySQL AB\MySQL Workbench 6.3 CE\Location. I could check to make sure that path exists, but this approach requires MySQL registry keys to be up-to-date (I've been burned relying on this approach trying to detect MySQL Server) and it is version specific.
If it turns out that this is the best option, are there other registry paths that I would need to check?
Am I safe checking MySQL Workbench 6.2 CE, MySQL Workbench 6.3 CE, MySQL Workbench 6.4 CE, etc, or are there other versions out there (e.g. non-"Community Edition")? This isn't apparent to me after spending some time on Workbench's website.
More information:
Since MySQL updates their package much more frequently than we update ours, we are hesitant to bundle a version of the MySQL MSI in our installation package and do a silent install, because it will likely be out of date. Instead, we detect if MySQL has been installed, and if not, we direct them to MySQL's download page and tell them to install MySQL Server and Workbench. This generally works for getting Server installed, but Workbench frequently fails (either because of the pre-reqs and MySQL Installer's non-intuitive prompts, or because they don't notice our recommendation). Therefore, I'm looking for a way to detect if Workbench is installed so I can offer a second prompt if needed.
Does the Workbench GUID stay the same over all the different versions? I'd hate to hard code one in and then have my installer be unable to detect newer/older/non-"Community Edition" versions.

MySQL Installation Wizard for Microsoft Windows

I tried to install MySQL on my machine (win 8 64 bit), I downloaded mysql-5.6.24-winx64.exe and after completing MySQL 5.6 setup wizard, the MySQL Server Instance Configuration Wizard does not start and nothing happens. In the windows start menu for MySQL I have only 2 options:MySQL 5.6 command line client and MySQL 5.6 command line - Unicode.
So what can I do to resolve this problem and run MYSQL on my machine, I am waiting for your advice. Please help me I need to resolve this problem
I strongly recommend to use the all-in-one Windows installer for installing a MySQL server plus any additional tool you want, like MySQL Workbench, connectors or documentation. It will not only install the right package but will also do semi-automatic updates, check for prerequisites, start the configuration wizard etc.

Dreamfactory: IBM DB2 connection

I downloaded what I believe to be the latest copy of Dreamfactory for Windows from Bitnami bitnami-dreamfactory-1.8.2-0-windows-installer.exe. I would like to connect to an IBM DB2 remote database. In using the Admin Console I don't see an option in the SQL Vendor dropdown for IBM DB2. Did I miss a configuration step? If not, what do I need to do to configure IBM DB2 as a Remote SQL DB? I can't seem to find a reference in the documentation for how to do this.
Update
I just installed the Bitnami Ubuntu vmware appliance and it has a DB2 dropdown. Therefore, there is a flaw in the Windows 1.8.2 self installer.
With a quick test of the windows installer, we did confirm the DB2 value is in the dropdown menu. Please try to refresh the window frame or clear browser cache to see if that helps.
Also, the Bitnami package released for 1.8.2 currently doesn't have the db2 driver installed by default. We are working on getting another build that has better default setup. In the mean time, this link has the Windows instructions. I will try to get a more detailed instruction set for Windows.

sonarqube 4 server migration

I'm trying to move a sonarqube 4.4 installation from one machine to another. What's more we would also like to change the database server from Oracle to Postgres 9.3.
What my plan was initially is that I would shutdown the sonar server, the database adminstrator would dump existing database, migrate it to postgres in the new server and I would zip the existing server installation and move it along to the new server. Then I would start the server.
However I've run into problems, even though sonarqube 4.4 booted fine, when I hit
http://new-server:9001/sonar4
I was getting a 404 response from sonar.
At some point I tried unzipping the server file anew in which case I managed to see the projects and the dashboards but no analysis data existed, even though last analysis time was available.
Any ideas or clues what am I missing?
Also, the driver in sonarqube for postgres is 9.1.xxx can I update this or should we use postgres 9.1 to make sure the driver is compatible with the database?
How is your ..\conf\sonar.properties? Normally, you should have changed:
sonar.jdbc.url=jdbc:oracle:thin:#localhost/XE
Did you use some tool to migrate Oracle to Postgress? I thought it was not possible.
Do not hesitate to ask for further precision.
Regards.
