This error could result from a number of possible problems. First off I
would check to make sure the mysqld is running and attaching to the default
socket (3306). If you have it set up otherwise, you will likely need the
connect to contain the ':3307' socket adjustment to the name of the host
being sought. I have validated that the rest of your logic is correct
once the connection is established.
