    I can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061)

    Hello,

    I know this question was asked many times before but I couldn't find a solution that works for me.
    I've installed an apache server (2.2.6), PHP (5.2) and MySQL (5.0.45) in my windows XP SP2.
    I've configured everything as needed (or at least I think so)
    and tested my MySQL with a small php page on the localhost but the browser showed the error:

    "Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061)"

    I've tried many things but and now I'm pretty stuck. Is Navicat (www.navicat.co m) a good try?

    thanks.

      The first thing is probably to check if MySQL is running at all.
      Can you connect to it from the a command prompt?

          yes, thank you for your advice and I just able to connect to the server after checking. Also, Navicat is worth to try too.
