Re: MySQL Error No : 2003

[Bill Karwin]

See http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/can-not-connect-to-server.html

The client host cannot connect to the server host. There are several possible causes for this. Including:

- MySQL Server is not running.
- MySQL Server is running, but using a different port than the default 3306.
- MySQL Server is running, but restricts clients to those running on the same host. Look for "bind-address=127.0.0.1" in MySQL Server's config file my.ini (or my.cnf).
- MySQL Server is running, but permits no networked clients to connect. Look for "skip-networking" in its config file.
- A firewall blocks network connections to server host on MySQL port. Firewalls can be running on server or on client host.
