Alternamaton Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 When I try to run this script, the bar at the bottom of my browser says "Waiting for localhost..." but nothing happens. Here's the script that I'm trying to use to connect to MySQL: <html> <body> <?php $con = mysql_connect("localhost:8080","root@localhost","***********"); if (!$con) { die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error()); } ?> </body> </html> Obviously I didn't really enter *********** for my password; I entered my password. If I take out the :8080, I get the following error message: Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061) in C:\Web\Webserver\Apache2\htdocs\mysqlconnect.php on line 4 Could not connect: Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061). I've tried running the script with and without MySQL running in the console. I've also tried using the username that I set, but I changed it when I queried MySQL and got the username that I was apparently logged in under. I'm on Windows XP home edition, and I know that I have PHP and Apache installed correctly, because they work together. I have the mysql and mysqli extensions enabled in my php.ini file (though I don't really need mysqli enabled, since I'm not using MySQL Improved, right?). I did a search of the forums, but I didn't find anyone else on Windows who's just getting a page that won't load when they try to connect to MySQL.
