Can't connect to MySQL server on '127.0.0.1' (111)

[xPol]

I have been using my local dictionary for years, accessing from web browser, 
pointing to  http://localhost:9000/

Probably my fault, since i have been tinkering a little with my settings. As 
i try to connect, i get 
  Can't connect to MySQL server on '127.0.0.1' (111)

Any ideas, what to check?

I am using linux/opensuse 11.4

Thank you
