[RESOLVED] Can't get PHP 5.2.1 and MySQL 5.0.27 to work together

[Piranha]

I have tried for 2 days to get PHP 5.2.1 and MySQL 5.0.27 to work together, but it still does not work. I have done the following:

• extensions_dir is correctly set

• extension=php_mysql.dll have been uncommented, have tried with php_mysqli.dll as well

• the extension is in place

• libmysql.dll is in the correct place

Before I had all that working correctly I got a message

Call to undefined function mysql_connect() in C:\www\root\testing\testing.php on line 7

But now I have another error that I can't seem to find a solution to anywhere

Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061) in C:\www\root\testing\testing.php on line 7

Please someone, I really could need some help with this one.

can you connect to localhost at port 3306 from other program (like netcat for ex.)? Maybe your firewall is blocking mysql's port.

Ty wilku. Your answer made me start to think that it was not in PHP the problem was but some other place. And sure enough, I reconfigured MySQL and now it works perfectly.
