I've installed MySql 5.6 with Workbench and MySql Notifier.

I can start/stop the MySql Service ( Service name : MySql56 ) from Services.msc. But I'm not able to start/stop it from MySql Notifier. I'm having the following error.

enter image description here

I don't what's going on there. I can confirm that a service named "MySql56" is present and it starts/stops successfully from services.msc

My system is Windows 7 Professional 64 bit

You must access to location: %APPDATA%\Oracle\MySQL Notifier\settings.config (C:\Users\YourUsername\AppData\Roaming\Oracle\MySQL Notifier\settings.config) and change ServiceName to MySQL56 in settings.config file

Yes! This fixed it -- I had to change from mysql56 to MySQL56 -- and I had to restart the MySQL Notifier after saving the settings.config file. Thank you!!! – Johnathan Hebert Apr 18 '15 at 1:12

I had this same issue a few days ago but I figured out a way to fix it, hopfully it works for you as well:

right click on MySQL Notifier -> Actions -> Manage Monitored Items

highlight the MySQL56 entry and click the delete button -> windows service

click the add button, scroll down the list till you find MySQL56, hilight it and click ok

you can now close the menu and you should be able to start/restart/stop your server as before

Thanks, this solution worked! In my case I wasn't able to implement the other method because there was no ServiceName element in settings.config, and I wasn't sure were it should be added. – mastazi Aug 13 '15 at 4:52
