Re: can't connect to MySql server on 'localhost' <10061>

system: winXP sp2

sqlite v.2 wasnt supporting large binary objects so I wanted to switch to mysql.

After a succesfull install of mysql5 I had to enable support for PHP5...

in the php.ini I outcommented the line: extension=php_mysql.dll and restarted apache 2 whitch failed.

after that I copyed libmysql.dll from my x:\php to the x:\windows\system32 folder and wupti apache started without a quirk.

now mysql 5 provided me with the very anoying 2003 (skidoo) error though I reinstalled it several times (more mad than ever)

I scanned all the messages in this forum without any "luck" turned on a joint and thought it all through and BLING it hit me that maybe libmysql.dll was the disturbing factor and sure it was ;-)

after I replaced that file (x:\windows\system32\libmysql.dll) with the one from mysql/bin everything worked very well and my binary attachments can now be store in a BLOB

kind regards D-Stein
