Re: Error Nr. 2003 : Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061). I'M DESPERATE!!! HEEEEEELP!!! My solution
Posted by: Todd Bernin

i was having trouble with this for over a week. after much digging (anti-virus programs, every option i could find, etc.) here is what worked for me. i hope it works for you.

mysql -h 127.0.0.1 --protocol="TCP"

this finally got the client working. it was the --protocol statement that made the difference. there are many other reasons for this error.
