Can't connect to MySQL server on 'Localhost' (10061)

is not a user/pw problem. It occurs even before that.

I understand that you have installed MySQL on yor localhost. Are you sure that the MySQL server is running ? The err msg is the one you get when it is not!

Is there a Mysql*****.exe proces to see in taskmanager ?

Did you get the “MySQL Administrator” program from MySQl. It places an icon in system tray from where to manage MySQL.

If you have a Firewall Aplication then try disabling it! AV should not affect connectivity.

Is the SQLyog the free version or enterprise version? It your ISP has blocked the MySQL port you will need to use tunnelling to connect. Tunnelling is included with the Enterprise version only. And most likely the ISP won't let you manage users from no other application than their own Control Panel application

Let's start here. All other issues with other software is not relevant at this point!

I'm not sure if I should have already set up the database through MySQL before using SQLyog

After initial install of MySQL you can connect as user “ROOT” with NO PASSWORD from LOCALHOST ONLY (standard port is 3306)!

Thanks for the speedy reply. I'm not actually at my own computer at the moment but I've noted your advice and will check it out ASP.

Let you know how I get on tomorrow 🙂 Thanks

I don't know how I managade it but I am now able to connect to my local host. It may be because of the firewall or maybe something else, net sure.

At least I can now get into the program and have a look around.

Thanks for all the help 😀
