Trying to connect to MySQL

[mommatc]

I remember this part being a bugger the last time I had to do it - but I can't remember what fixed it 😞 I am trying to connect to a MySQL database which is setup and active and contains one table with some data in it at this point. DreamweaverMX is giving me this error:

2003 Can't connect to MySQL server on 'mountainmeadowherbs.com' (61)

I can't seem to find reference anywhere to this particular error (except a couple of search results that went to non-existant pages). Any ideas what it is I have to do to make this work? The testing server connects - but the Database Connection won't :(

Thanks in Advance,
Tracy

Error 2003 means that the MySQL server isn't running.

If the MySQL Server isn't running - is it still possible to log in and add tables or edit existing tables?

of course ...not

Well, then I guess that can't be what's causing the error then :(

Any other ideas?

Well - it seems to have to do with the setup of the testing server. I am now at least getting closer - now I get an error that says "Access Denied. The file may not exist, or there could be a permission problem". 😞
