I'm getting this error message when I try the following code: $link = mysql_connect("localhost") or die("Could not connect"); print ("Connected successfully"); mysql_close($link); The scripts outputs: Warning: Can't create TCP/IP socket (10106) in C:\Projects\WebServer\admin.php on line 3 Warning: MySQL Connection Failed: Can't create TCP/IP socket (10106) in C:\Projects\WebServer\admin.php on line 3 Could not connect Any ideas?
