Easy PHP Administration Accessing Database

Welcome to phpMyAdmin

Error
MySQL said: Documentation

#2002 - No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.

The server is not responding (or the local server's socket is not correctly configured).


I have been accessing my database through the Easy PHP Administration page without any problems. Until now when I suddenly get this message as soon as I try to open the MySQL module. I have rebooted machine and that didn't help. My PHP code is still running I just can't look at the database.

Any suggestions.

You will have to google for a solution using that error notice...

Thanks Mac but I eventually got desperate and gave up and reinstalled PHP.

Now I can get back onto PHP Admin page and set up mysql user and user name but now my php scripts that access mysql are giving the following error

Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: [2002] A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not (trying to connect via tcp://localhost:3306) in C:\PHP\EasyPHP-5.3.3\www\portfolio\createdatabase.php on line 2

even if I change to username to root and no password. I assume it is something to do with TCP/IP protocols but don't know where to start looking.

Tried "127.0.0.1" instead of "localhost" in MySQL_connect statement and all of a sudden everything is working again. Not sure why "localhost" no longer working since I have reinstalled?
Relief. My blood pressure has now down from heatattack range.
Thanks goodness for include and config.php only 1 change needed.

I know the feeling.

I, sometimes, have to use the figures instead of '"localhost". I guess the most important thing is for one to be able to connect to database, regardless.
