error on Local test server... PowerStoreConnection.php on line 9

Hi Jason,

Having trouble with local server, have you seen theses errors before?

Warning: mysql_connect(): A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond. in C:\xampp\htdocs\relicvintage\Connections\PowerStoreConnection.php on line 9

Fatal error: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond. in C:\xampp\htdocs\relicvintage\Connections\PowerStoreConnection.php on line 9

double check that the local MySQL Server is turned on, with XAMPP, if you don't enable apache and MySQL as services, they will need to be started manually each time you restart the computer.


also double check the PowerStoreConnection.php file and make sure the correct details for connecting to the Local MySQL Server are entered.

Yes I always start manually, and the PowerStoreConnection.php looks correct,
when in Dreaweaver I've manually tried to connect into (MySQL) see PM

I have even tried connecting with root ID, also I can log into PHP-admin

see PM

That is resolved, somehow the PowerStoreConnection.php was overwritten from production, Thanks

you're welcome.
