Joseph, >> ERROR 2003: Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061)
Okay, if MySQL is up and alive, you should check on which port it is listening. For instance, you could (in a DOS window) do: mysqld --print-defaults to find out if there are some strange configuration settings. If the port is the problem, you could try to connect somehow like this: mysql -h localhost -p 3307 HTH, -- Stefan Hinz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Geschäftsführer / CEO iConnect GmbH <http://iConnect.de> Heesestr. 6, 12169 Berlin (Germany) Tel: +49 30 7970948-0 Fax: +49 30 7970948-3 ----- Original Message ----- From: "Norris, Joseph" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'Stefan Hinz, iConnect (Berlin)'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "Norris, Joseph" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "Mysql_List (E-mail)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, January 23, 2003 5:20 PM Subject: RE: Install on WIN2k Stefan, I have checked these things. To re-state the problem. I already have mysql up and running on several servers with apps accessing them from my web site. This is just a new install but it has been so long that I have forgotten what to do about this localhost situation. Thanks. -----Original Message----- From: Stefan Hinz, iConnect (Berlin) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, January 23, 2003 2:27 AM To: Norris, Joseph; Mysql_List (E-mail) Subject: Re: Install on WIN2k Norris, > ERROR 2003: Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061) > I remember this well but I don't remember what I did to fix it. Not to be impolite, but I'd say you should simply start the MySQL server :) Check system control > administration > services if there is a service called "Mysql", and if it's running. If not, install the service (I'd suggest to use winmysqladmin.exe for this) and start it. If you're having problems like the MySQL server starts but crashes immediately after starting, you can try this in a DOS window: c:\mysql\bin> mysqld --standalone --console This will give you output in the DOS window so you can see why it keeps crashing. And, of course, you can use any other server than mysqld, e.g. mysqld-max-nt.exe, to try the same. mysqld-max... has InnoDB tables switched on by default, and there is a good chance something's wrong in your setup and InnoDB can't create its tablespace etc. You will see all of this in the DOS window output, though.
