Re: Mysql question.

connect failed...

make sure the server is running...

if it is that means it's not listening on tcp/ip;

you can enable it by commenting in /etc/mysql/my.cnf
# skip-networking

with that uncommented mysql only listens on a local unix socket

and of course, restart the daemon when you change that option.
