#51 can't connect to mySql

[Anonymous]

hey everybody :)

i've just installed this so as to learn php and mysql.
once installed, linking through from localhost to
phpMyAdmin produces nowt but the following:

Warning: MySQL Connection Failed: Can't connect to
MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061) in
C:\apache\htdocs\phpmyadmin\lib.inc.php on line 255
Error

I get the same thing when i run 'cmd' in dos mode.

i'm new to this sh#t so i'm completely foxed. does
anyone know what the problem might be?

pack your pc in original box and dump it into skip. Let's
face it you are too lazy to read documentation or do
research on internet or too stupid? Why would you need mysql?

If you use Windows. Go to C:\apache\mysql\bin and run
winmysqladmin.exe

After in your web go to http://localhost
