You first error message says:
TRY TO DO A TELNET TO 'LOCALHOST' AT PORT '3306'.
Do this!!! by starting telnet. Type in localhost
or IP# 127.0.0.1 and adjust the port number to 3306.
Then try to connect.
If you gets the message "connection refused" it means that either
you SQL server is not up and running. Or it not really running at
your LOCAL host, but somewhere else.
If it is the case that the server should run locally, then restart
the server... If you don't know how to do that, then do RTFM.
