Problems connecting to a MySQL database
Hi everyone out there!
I'm new at PHP/MySQL and I'm trying to create my first connection to a MySQL database in Dreamweaver MX.
I have installed and tested PHP and MySQL in my computer and everything seems to work fine. When I try to create my first connection ( APLICATION/DATABASES ) in the window I specify localhost as my web server, and root as my user name, then I also provide my password and database. When I click test I get the following message.
2003 Can't connect to MySQL on server 'localhost' (10061)
Can anyone tell me what is wrong or how to fix it?
