Re: ERROR 2003: Can't connect to MySQL server (10060)

[Josip Udovcic]

Hi there!

Im having a similar problem. I'm trying to connect to a DB using a Perl script. Everything is run locally.

I installed mysql using xampp. There is no problem using phpmyadmin och mysql-console. From there I can connect to the DB.

But when I run the script I get:
DBI connect('127.0.0.1:3306:test','root',...) failed: Can't connect to MySQL server on '3306' (10060) at ./insert.pl line 13
Failed to connect to mySQL server: Can't connect to MySQL server on '3306' (10060)

This what im getting from netstat:
$ netstat -n -a|grep 3306
TCP 0.0.0.0:3306 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING

Tried changing the port to 3307, but same result.

Running on WinXP, Novell Client. No local firewall active.

Please help!
Thanks!
