Try using the ip number of your local machine instead of localhost. I couldn't connect here with localhost, but could by using the machine's ip 192.168.1.2 ( I have a suspicion that my mysql install doesn't listen on localhost, but uses sockets instead, maybe that's why).
To see on which address or addresses MySQL (or any process) is listening, use netstat: % netstat -A inet -l |egrep mysql tcp 0 0 *:mysql *:* LISTEN % netstat -A inet -n -l |egrep 3306 tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:3306 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN This indicates both localhost and my routable address should work, and in fact they do.
