Can't connect to MySQL server on localhost (10061) on window 7

I am having window 7 as a operating system in the production machine where i am trying to use MySQL server 5.0 as a database. But i am unable to configure MySQL on my production machine. Following is the error i am receiving.

The security setting could not be applied to the database because the connection has failed with t开发者_如何学运维he following error:

Can't connect to MySQL server on localhost (10061).

The message also prompts that you need to open TCP 3306 port to resolve this issue, i checked it and found that TCP 3306 port is already opened and state is listening.

This is my 'netstat -an' command result -

Proto   LocalAddress   ForeignAddress   State

TCP     0.0.0.0:3306      0.0.0.0:0           LISTENING

It means TCP at 3306 is open. Can anyone please tell me the solution of this problem. However i am able to install and configure the same MySQL Server setup in window xp. I tried google as well and found a lot of blogs but none is of use.

Thanks a lot.

Change

 host: localhost

to

 host: 127.0.0.1

This is likely caused by the way your database is being resolved.

have you checked whether the port 3036 is already in use by another application? Have you checked whether a telnet hostname 3036 works on the local MySQL server and also on the remote machine?

First check in the system, MySQL services is in running condition or not. look out on path of services go to right click on My Computer > manage > Services and Application > Services and check MySQL service status is started or not. Otherwise right click on service and start to service.

I hope this will help you.

I didn't find the MySQL services even after solving the problem.
I just run the mysqld as administrator and the problem is solved. So, simple but It took me 3 hours to find the solution.

The problem was rsolved. The MySQL was not running in the Services section of Settings. Because XAMMP had disconnected the already running application in the background.
