Newbie installing on Localhost
Posted: Thu Jan 01, 2004 11:30 am
I'm wanting to learn PHP so I decided to run Apache/PHP/mySQL on my personal machine. In the past I did it with no problem but now I'm getting a error trying to set up my password in mySQL. I know this is not a mySQL forum but I figured most of you have or do know about installing mySQL on your own systems.
Here what I have been getting Erorr:
I then entered 'telnet localhost 3306'
I do have a router that has a built in firewall, yet I don't see what would be the problem since its a localhost. Any feed back would be great so I can get underway. Thanks!
Here what I have been getting Erorr:
Code: Select all
mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061)'
Check that mysqld is running on localhost and that the port is 3306.
You can check this by doing 'telnet localhost 3306'Code: Select all
Connecting to localhost...Could not open connection to the host, on port 3306: Connect failed
