Well after some more trouble shooting for MySQL, I tried these commands in the CMD window:


mysqladmin version
mysqladmin variables
mysqladmin -h `hostname` version variables
mysqladmin -h `hostname` --port=3306 version
mysqladmin -h 'ip for your host' version
mysqladmin --protocol=socket --socket=/tmp/mysql.sock version
telnet localhost 3306

I did them all in that order, and the messages for each are as follows.

Connecting To localhost...Could not open connection to the host, on port 3306.
No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.

Any ideas? I really have no idea why the heck this is happening. Before this, my server was up and running near perfectly.
