os Catalina and Laravel Homestead MySql error: ERROR 2007 (HY000): Protocol mismatch; server version = 11, client version = 10

Question

I'm trying to connect to MySQL server within Vagrant's version of Laravel Homestead, which runs MySQL 5.7.

I never seem to had any problems with it, but on my new laptop with Catalina I'm getting the following error when trying to connect using recommended settings:

$ mysql --host=127.0.0.1 --port=33060 -uhomestead -p
Enter password:
ERROR 2007 (HY000): Protocol mismatch; server version = 11, client version = 10

I also tried using mysql clients (Sequel Pro and Workbench) with exactly same error message. Anyone would be able to shine some light on how to resolve this issue?

Answer 1

In my case, changing my host from 127.0.0.1 to localhost fixed it.

Answer 2

On running homestead up, I got

Fixed port collision for 3306 => 33060. Now on port 2200.

So changed port in the mysql client config to 2200.
