MySQL connection problem with (dbConnect)

[Tete omar]

Hi, every time i try to connect to localhost, it occurs this error:

dbConnect failed; Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061)

And here is the connection code:

dbConnect("mysql", "dbname=test;host=localhost") 

and i wonder what (10061) is in the error above ..

You can do what I do:

local dbName = "Database name goes here" 
local host = "website goes here" 
local username = "username goes here" 
local password = "password goes here" 
local dbConnection = dbConnect( "mysql", "dbname="..dbName..";host="..host, username, password)

There is no need for websites to connect to, as far as i know i can connect to my localhost by just typing 'localhost' or what do you mean by 'website goes here'?

Well my server is hosted so I put in the website but since you're localhost I think you just have to put localhost where host is.
