ERROR 2003 (HY000): Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061)

C:\EqEmu\cvs\eqemu\EQEMu Release>

I have tried a few things, any ideas? I did use search by the way, and I couldnt find anything that helped me, I found 2003 error and 10061 errors, but they were on a different part than what im on... I'v had this working before, I dont know why it decided to do this... makes no sense.. /sigh

Also, I uninstalled mysql and tried again, deleted My.ini and the problem is still persisting....

Unless you installed it differently it should look like this

cd \mysql\bin

mysql -u root mysql

WinMySqlAdmin is located under mysql\bin. From what you did it looked like you were trying to connect to the source files in cvs :D

[wize_one]

you have your mysql/bin set in your path statement??..

[Richardo]

yes I do

[Richardo]

Same problem...
and yes my PATH is good, I think.. here it is.. btw, my OS is XP

%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\Sy stem32\Wbem;c:\EqEmu\cvs\wincvs;c:\EqEmu\cvs\wincv s\CVSNT;c:\mysql\bin

and this is the error I received when I tried it in c:\mysql\bin..

it reads that you can use mysql client, as you get the specific err message.

It's not much a matter of client imho, but maybe the server is not running properly.

Is server running on same machine ?
If not, use -h yourhostname when connecting
If it is, try 'telnet 127.0.0.1 3306'

if no DB server running, you'll get a connection failed, host unreachable on port 3306 (sorry, that's french)
[code]
E:\>telnet 127.0.0.1 3306
Connexion

What version of mysql?

[Richardo]

1.4, and I dont have the server running yet. It will be on the same machine but for now, I cant log on mysql for some reason...

Problem Fixed:

I uninstalled MySQL, deleted the folder afterwards (C:\Mysql) then deleted the my.ini (C:\WINDOWS\my.ini) "for the second time", downloaded a new fresh copy of Mysql, reinstalled and it connected just fine...
