MySQL Server

sassa · 07-31-2007, 05:26 AM

Hi,
My first thread and I must explain that I would be considered a novice at computing.My problem is the message - MySQL Server cannot connect to .....(127.0.0.1) at server name(.....).
I have Googled for a solution but I am afraid the high tech answers do not really make any sense to me.One simple solution was to open task manager and see if the program was running.There was no MySQL program listed in the task manager.Is this the name of the program in the task manager?or does it go under another?
I would be very grateful for any help that a novice may be able to follow.
Regards,
Sassa

SQL server is a Microsoft database program. Are you currently using SQL (Sequel)?

A Google search told me the program ensured online transaction processing.

Actually, MySQL is not a microsoft product.

Sassa, where are you seeing this error, and what were you trying to achieve when you saw it?

Ah, ok, so this isn't your personal website or one you're administering.

This is a problem with the website you're using; not your machine.

I would email or call someone from that company and let them know they have a problem on their hands.

Hi Fox,
Did speak with reresentative of the company and they said that nobody else had a problem with logging on and paying accountscheers,

Hmmm... well it's definitely server-side- ie., not your fault or your computer's fault.

Can you get a screenshot of what you're seeing? Just hit 'printscreen', paste the output into paint (remove any sensitive info) and save it as a jpg or a png. From there you can attach the image file to a post, and then email it to them if my suspicions are on target.

I agree with fox on this one. MYsQL is used on the websites server, owned by the company.

Hi Fox and Carsey,
The exact message is-Could not connect to MySQL Server at (127.0.0.1)
with username(sterling).
