Mysql Server: Unable to connect to remote host. Catalog download has failed

Tags:

database

mysql

I'm getting the following message on taskeng.exe console:

Unable to connect to remote host. Catalog download has failed

It seems to be related with the manifestUpdate. Which updates the catalog at a fixed time:

Automatic updates

You can configure MySQL Installer to automatically update the MySQL product catalog once per day. To enable this feature and set the update time, click the wrench icon on the Installer dashboard.

The next window configures the Automatic Catalog Update. Enable or disable this feature, and also set the hour.

So, why am I getting that error?

I still not having very clear what's that for exactly. Does it look for possible updates of MySQL products?

Can I disable the task to get rid of that error?

Can't connect to MySQL server on host?

Here are some reasons the Can't connect to local MySQL server error might occur: mysqld is not running on the local host. Check your operating system's process list to ensure the mysqld process is present. You're running a MySQL server on Windows with many TCP/IP connections to it.

Why MySQL database is not connecting?

Make sure that you have a file named user. MYD in the mysql database directory. If not, initialize the data directory. After doing so and starting the server, you should be able to connect to the server.

Look in Windows Task Scheduler. On the left, open:

Task Scheduler Library\MySQL\Installer

Right-click in the ManifestUpdate entry and select "Disable".

It is a basic permission problem. Go to C:\ProgramData and right click on on MySQL folder, go to security tab under group users and click edit, under group and users select your computer user and select all ticks under allow, apply and close. This worked for me.
