I have installed mysql using dmg from mysql website. mysql-8.0.23-macos10.15-x86_64.pkg
package version: mysql-8.0.23-macos10.15-x86_64.dmg
I have connected to localhost server using: mysql connect -h127.0.0.1 -uroot
I am successfully connected and able to run operation/queries.
But not able to connect through django project. I suspect it is due to server not running. I am unable to understand when server is not running how i am able to connect from terminal.
UPDATE:
After reading answer on dba exchange I realised it might be because I
ran kill to stop mysql server.
