  • 0

I am working a Django tutorial and I want to connect my project to a MySQL database. I did everything as told by the djangoproject tutorial to connect to database. When running python manage.py syncdb , however, I got the
following error:

_mysql_exceptions.OperationalError: (2003, "Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061)")

What seems problematic? I have XAMMP downloaded and I have created databases through XAMMP before but I don’t know how
that affects the connection with Django.

Thanks.

    Actually under the settings.py, I set HOST to “127.0.0.1” and PORT to 3306, filled out the rest of DATABASE
    portion and it worked!
