A really annoying MySQL error

Hello again :)

This morning, when i tried to set up RevCMS on my VPS, it didn't work. The fact is, it can't even connect to the MySQL database. And this is really annoying. I'm using IIS and i've installed PHP, MySQL Connetor/NET, MySQL Server 5.6.11 (i think, anyway it's the latest version) and MySQL installer. I've also tried to repair and uninstall and then install it again but it won't work then either. And yes, my config.php is correct. The host i'm connect to is "localhost" and i've allready tried "127.0.0.1" but that doesn't work either.

Code:

---

MySQL Engine - RevCMS:
MySQL could not connect to host

---

I need help quickly, thanks!

Okay so MySQL isn't running. If it is and it's not working try this in an elevated command prompt:

telnet 127.0.0.1 3306

If you don't have telnet installed, install it.

Well, it gives me a kind of "error message" and it seems that port 3306 is blocked for some reason.
I've tried to open the port 3306 and it says it's open but that doesn't help so much.

I Don't really know what to do..

mysql host = localhost
mysql port = 3306

Default values.
Using 127.0.0.1 might sometimes throw errors!

Yes, i know. But that doesn't work.
I've tried almost everything i know right now.. and I've been trying to fix this for 6-7 hours now, and without success.

Look this forum and try to stop it in your case 3306 and start the server after that:

Doesn't work. This is REALLY annoying..

Are you positive that you opened port 3306 incoming, or did you open it outgoing?
