Hi,

I'm having a problem connecting to a mySQL database. I get the following error:

Can't connect to MySQL server on'' (10061)
Socket error on connect. WSAGetLastError return 10060($274C).

I have replaced the host name with for security reasons. Does anyone know why I would be getting this error??

Cheers ....
Gerald.

MyDAC tries to connect to MySQL using Winsock.Connect function (see MSDN for more information) and this function fails. Below are listed possible reasons of this problem:
- host name or port number is typed incorrectly;
- MySQL server is not running;
- network connection is broken;
- the connection is blocked by a firewallon on the client or on the server.
