Re: Please help me

Greetings,

Well, I only got such an error when my mysqld wasn't running.
I don't know your level of knowledge on how MySQL works, so, excuse me
if I'll say some stuff you already know:

1) You must either install MySQL as a Service on Windows XP, NT, etc.,
or run it from the command line.
2) If your running 98, 95, etc, you'll need to run mysqld from the
command line so your 3306 port will be listened

(Note that both sugestions regards the SERVER, that is "/bin/mysqld",
not your client "/bin/mysql" wich only connects and is an interface
for MySQL)

Now, if your daemon is running, you may have problems with firewall
settings, maybe your HOSTS file doesn't contain the line corresponding
to "localhost" as "127.0.0.1".  Another option would be problems when
you start the server. Check for errors at the .err file.

More info would be good, like, your system, your MySQL version, the
type of installation (service or command-line start).

Best regards,
