error connecting: Error: connect ECONNREFUSED

Connecting Node.js to XAMPP MySQL server on Mac OS always reports 

error connecting: Error: connect ECONNREFUSED

The following is how to connect to the local mysql database through node.js:

var mysql = require('mysql');
var connection = mysql.createConnection({
   host:'localhost',
   user:'xxxx', // where xxxx is replaced with your mysql login user name
   password:'xxxx',//Replace xxxx here with your mysql login password
   database:'xxxx', // where xxxx is replaced with the name of the database you want to connect
   socketPath:'/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/var/mysql/mysql.sock',
   port:3306
});

connection.connect(function(err) {
   if (err) {
     console.error('error connecting: '+ err.stack);
     return;
   }

   console.log('connected as id '+ connection.threadId);
});


The key here is to configure socketPath, otherwise the following error will be reported:

error connecting: Error: connect ECONNREFUSED

The above is what I found from the Internet, and it didn’t work to change it according to the writing~~ It still can’t connect.

final solution¶

Create a MYSQL service on the server, build a database, or start a MYSQL service on another computer in the intranet, call here

MAC native code No need to add socketPath, you can call the local nodejs interface perfectly

simple version¶

simple version code is as follows

var express = require('express');
var app = express();
const routes = require('./routers');

const index=require('./routers/index');
app.get('/', (req, res) => res.send('App is working'));

// app.use('/', routes);
// app.use('/api/idToken', routes);

app.use('/api/index',index);
app.get('/aa', (req, res) => {
  res.send('hello')
  // res.sendFile(__dirname + '/dist/index.html')
})
app.listen(5000, () => {
    console.log("server up");
});

module.exports = {
    app
};

pool.js
