Re: Can not connect to MySQL

[Mike Lischke]

You should read the error messages more carefully. It says:

ERROR: Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost:3306' (10061 No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it)

so, something with the server is not ok. No need to look for further things until this has been solved. Are you sure there is a server running at that port? See also my troubleshooting video for more ideas how to find a solution (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCgRF4KOYIY).
