Re: Can't connect to MySQL server on local host (10061)

[Paul Svirin]

Well, this could be due to these possible reasons:

1) the mysqld-nt.exe (the server application did not start). The possible fix: try checking the my.cnf file or check the System Event Log for the error messages if you have installed it as Windows service.

2) check whether connection to port 3306 is allowed in the firewall.

3) check whether the client (mysql.exe) connects via the appropriate protocol (TCP/IP or pipes)

Hope that helps.
