Can't connect to MySQL server on '127.0.0.1' (10061) (2003)

Question

I know this question was asked a lot before but I tried some of the solutions which were given and nothing worked..

I have downloaded MySQL Workbench 6.1 on

Answer 1

I encountered a similar problem. I am using WinNMP. When I started it, MariaDB was also not running and prompts "Can't connect to MySQL server on '127.0.0.1' (10061) (2003)" whenever I try to connect to a database.

Just want to help. For WinNMP users like me, this worked for me:

1. Run msyqld installer located at "C:\WinNMP\bin\MariaDB\bin".
2. Restart your WinNMP.
3. MariaDB should be running now.

Hope this helps someone! :D
