RE: [PHP-WIN] MySQL problem

You first error message says: TRY TO DO A TELNET TO 'LOCALHOST' AT PORT '3306'. Do this!!! by starting telnet. Type in localhost or IP# 127.0.0.1 and adjust the port number to 3306. Then try to connect. If you gets the message "connection refused" it means that either you SQL server is not up and running. Or it not really running at your LOCAL host, but somewhere else. If it is the case that the server should run locally, then restart the server... If you don't know how to do that, then do RTFM. >-----Original Message----- >From: Chris [mailto:frizzy1994@hotmail.com] >Sent: Sunday, April 15, 2001 1:54 PM >To: php-windows@lists.php.net >Subject: Re: [PHP-WIN] MySQL problem > > >Thanks for the reply. > >I went to mysql bin directory and typed mysql.exe, I get an error message >"Error 2003: Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061)" > >What's the problem?
