E:\WebServer\mysql\bin>mysql
ERROR 2003: Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061)

Please help me ....... :banghead:

:oops: sorry my focus was only on localhost and read the prob like couldn't connect to localhost NO EXCUSES though
:mrgreen: but i was thinking of avoiding it by saying something like "ya i wanted to know if only apache was turned on and left the mysql server as it is ". Would have been a cheap shot :twisted:
