    On Windows 7 localhost resolves to ::1, and MySQL doesn’t support IPv6 as far as I know.

    Connecting directly to 127.0.0.1 resolves this problem; but you can edit the hosts file to resolve localhost to 127.0.0.1, then localhost will work too:

    1. Open C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
    2. Remove the following line, if present: ::1 localhost
    3. Add the following line, if not present: 127.0.0.1 localhost
