Topic : "The MySQL Connection could not be established."

Posted By: VampyricalCurse on March 12, 2012, 8:58 pm

Hello everyone. I am trying to run a server from my laptop running Windows 7. I installed AMPPS and all services start successfully. However, I have tried to install some of the software to test it and it will not install and it gives me the MySQL connection error. All settings are default, I didn't change anything at all. I'm not sure as to what the problem could be.

I'd appreciate yer help!

Hi,

Is your MySQL Started ? The green start button of MySQL should be disabled(Grey Colored).

Yeah it is, all services are. I am on a wireless connection. To be honest, I have been having all kinds of trouble with making my laptop a server, I suspect it might be the wireless connection? Is it any different than the wired one? Cos I have some experience with wired ones, but not with wireless when it comes to this kind of thing.

Hi,

It shouldn't give a problem, unless firewall blocks it.

Nevermind. It works now! I uninstalled XAMPP which was using MySQL it seems, even though it wasn't running.

Thank you.

Could you please tell me how to make my server accessible externally? I have already forwarded my port 80, but I do not know what settings to change to make my site available externally. I do know my URL has to be my WAN IP, but I don't know how to set it up in AMPPS.

Thank you again.

Hi,

We won't be able to help you much on this but you can try configuring DMZ(Demilitarized Zone). Configuring will differ depending on routers.

Hi,

Which OS you are using?
Which AMPPS version you are using?
Do you have any other installation of MySQL?
