I'm attempting to host a PHP-Nuke site, and have been having problems getting both MySQL and PHP-Nuke to work correctly.. I'm fairly accustomed to standard site design, but have never attempted to host one myself before.

When I try to have MySQL "create nuke" (for PHP-Nuke..) it gives me this error message:
mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' <10061>
Check that mysqld is running on localhost and that the port is 3306.

When I &quot;telnet localhost 3306&quot; It tells me: &quot;Could not open connection to the host, on port 3306. No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.&quot;

Netstat -an shows that I'm not currently using port 3306.

I'm running WinXP but am disabling both the XP Firewall and my other firewall while trying to get this to work.. However- I'm currently on a wireless home network connected through a router, if that's applicable.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
