MySQL 5.5 error: 10061

[merci]

I've set up a local MySQL server using version 5.5 and I get the following error message.

* Connection to MySQL server failed:
Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061)

xp_mysql configuration settings:
# The function class that is provided by this plugin
class = SQL

# MySQL server connection parameters
server = localhost
user = nwn
password = nwn
schema = nwnx

# How much information should be written to xp_mysql.txt:
# 0=nothing, 1=only errors, 2=everything
loglevel = 2

xp_sqlite configuration settings
# The function class that is provided by this plugin
class = SQLoff

# The database file that the SQLite engines stores its data in
file = D:\Projekte\NWNX4svn\bin\dist\sqlite.db

# How much information should be written to xp_sqlite.txt:
# 0=nothing, 1=only errors, 2=everything
loglevel = 2

I can connect using MySQL Server Command Line Client with nwn/nwn but not with the NWNX4_GUI. This is my first time using SQL so I'm sure I jacked something up.

Any ideas?

[merci]

Got it. Apparently the connection wizard included with the MySQL community server is less than par. I was able to use MySQL Workbench to setup everything I needed... only took me two days to learn that.
