I\'m running Apache2 and PHP4 on a Windows 2000 PC. This configuration works quite well, I can run php testscripts.
So far so good.
Now I want to use MySQL on this system and there appears a problem I can\'t solve. I installed MySQL 4.0.16 and that appears to be OK.
But if I give a command in the cmd-shell (for example \'mysqlshow\') or if I try to start phpMyAdmin in IE (http://localhost/phpmyadmin) I get the following error:
#2003 - Can\'t connect to MySQL server on \'localhost\' (10061)
When I start winmysqladmin I get a green traffic-light, so it seems that the MySQL-service runs OK. But on the environment-tab there\'s no server-info displayed, neither on the server-tab.
I don\'t understand this. I re-installed the whole package again, but that wasn\'t the solution.
I get a headache of this matter an it drives me a little crazy.
Is there anyone around who has the same experience and has (hopefully) a solution?
