Error: Can't connect to MySQL server (10060)

[Oliver Gray]

Hi all,

I've setup mysql++ to work w/ my current project (a Half-life 2 mod).  It
compiles with no errors.  I run the command:
mysqlpp::Connection con(true);
try
{
    if(!con.connect("dbname", "hostname", "username", "password"))
    ....

where "dbname", "hostname", "username", and "password" are the actual
database name, hostname, username and password.  I get the exception listed
in the subject line.

However, I can connect using php with the same dbname, hostname, username,
and password with no problems.  What am I doing wrong here?

Thanks.
