Windows Mysql connection problem

[CorruptEnzo]

Okay, Iv been searching this error for about a week and I really cant find a solution that works so I'm going to post on Otland for help.

Heres the story;

My server was running perfectly fine. Database, characters, everything. I left the house for about a day and then I find out the power went out while my server was online.. I turned it back on and such and tried to run my server and I get this unbeatable error...


[17/08/2009 21:10:21] >> Loading config
[17/08/2009 21:10:21] >> Loading RSA key
[17/08/2009 21:10:21] >> Testing SQL connection... MySQL.
[17/08/2009 21:12:23] > MySQL ERROR mysql_real_connect: Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061)
[17/08/2009 21:12:23] > ERROR: Failed to connect to database, read doc/MYSQL_HELP for information or try SqLite which doesn't require any connection.

Can someone please help me by giving me detailed possibilities to fix this... Or a link of some sort that is detailed to fix this? I would highly appreciate it... Rep ++

Is your mysql running?

 

[Erikas Kontenis]

u need open database get xampp And Etc Etc If u wanna Try To run ur Server so just Make THis one

-- SQL
sqlType = "sqlite"
passwordType = "plain"

Download Xampp with MySQL included. Go to 127.0.0.1/myphpadmin and import your database

Wow guys really?!?! If I had a server running with 45+ players I obviously have a mysql database set up and xampp. It was all running perfectly. And yes, xampp and mysql are running just fine.

BUmpp ~ Wow. 70 + views and nobody can help me. Wow, Otland is great!?!. .....

Please refrain from insulting Otland members - nobody's obliged to help you, users actually spend their time reading about your problem so your attitude is out of the place.

The last line of your error is clearly self-explanatory. If you can't handle simple errors like this then you should really be hosting an otserv. Also learn how to read before coming here and start insulting OTLanders.

Actually "smart ass" I went to mysql_help and it told me to post on otfans for help. I figured otland would be better. I guess not.

//edit nsanee: This topic is closed then. Look for help elsewhere
