    10061 error (Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost') fix?

    Hi everyone!

    I'm incredibly excited about learning RoR 3, but recently run into one particular problem that I'm unable to fix.

    I get "Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061)" whenever I run Rails server and try to access anything beyond an intro page on localhost:3000.

    I read tons of explanations for this on the net and tried lots of things, but nothing seems to help.

    Any advice would be appreciated.

    Thank you!
