Did you remember to cross your fingers and gnash your teeth? What about
the blue button, did you press it? (Just kidding)
First off, you left out a lot of useful information about your situation:
How did you install the 4.0.23 (zip, msi,...)?
Have you verified that the server is running?
What other connection methods have you tried? Did they work?
Have you been following the documented installation procedure (
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/installing.html)? If you have, what step
are you on?
Have you looked at the Troubleshooting guide (
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/problems.html)?
Besides posting to this list, what other things have you tried?
