Hi,
I wonder if this is a bug, or my mistake. First I had installed a running version of mysql 3.23.52. Everything was fine, Mysql worked fine. Afterwards, I wanted to try MySql 4.0.4. I installed it on a different folder. After the install, I could not connect to the database with the following reason: ERROR 2003: Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061) After this, I deinstalled both MySQL programs and then installed MySQL 3.23.52 alone. Again, everytime I wanted to start mysql, I got the message "ERROR 2003: Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061)" For some hours, I tried to get to run mysql. No success. I checked the my.ini, the port was correct (3306), actually I have no my.cnf file. Telnet localhost 3306 returned the error that it was impossible to connect to this port. Regularly I checked if Mysql was running. It was running and one time I even started it with the option --port=3306, no success. Since the first installation worked without problem and MySQL 4.0.4 is still in development, I wonder if could be a bug somewhere, such as that MySQL 4.0.4. was not deinstalled fully and there is still some kind of configuration on my PC that hinders that I can connect to Port 3306 I have no idea what to try next... Maybe someone can help me! Thanx!
