Ran into a similar problem under Windows NT. I can think of several possible causes, 1.) the MySQL server is not started, or 2), as was in my case, the MySQL server came up as a service and not as a Standalone server, which means the localhost connects didn't work (I think). I use WinMySQLadmin as a controller for the DB Server and placed a shortcut to that application in my startup directory. By default it seemed to start things as a Service, but if I shut down the service, and restarted the server as Standalone, the admin tool seemed to remember to activate things standalone on the next reboot.

Hi, I have installed PHPTriad 2.1.1 under Windows XP. When I run phpmyAdmin I got this error. Warning: MySQL Connection Failed: Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061) in C:\apache\htdocs\phpmyadmin\lib.inc.php on line 255 Error It used to work under Win2K. What's the work around?
