New Install of MySQL 4.x

[CTekGirl]

Hopefully there is an easy solution to this. I have an older version that seems to work with the same settings.
I have install this copy on Windows XP. I created a server
called:
Name: DEVSQL
Host Name: localhost
User Name: root
Password: blank

I am using the MySQL Control Center.

It states: Connection added successfully.
But when I attempt to connect it states:
[DEVSQL] ERROR 2003: Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061)

I am starting a new project and I need to use this current version of MySQL.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. I have downloaded the MySQL driver and installed it.

Anyone using this version of MySQL?

I wanted to provide a comment that I followed TLowder's tips and my server on MySQL is no longer getting connection errors. Thanks for your detail and clear steps. Well Done!

I hope it works for the original poster as well.
