dbmySQL problems (beginner!)

BlitzMax Modules Forums/Brucey's Modules/dbmySQL problems (beginner!)

I have downloaded and installed MySQL 5.1, and think I have configured it correctly. I then downloaded modules bah.database and bah.mysql, installed, built and documented them. So far so good. Then I loaded "dbmysql.mod/tests/test_01.bmx" but during compilation the example failed with a libmysql.dll not found error, so I copied it from the MySQL installation into the "tests" directory and tried again. After BMax successfully built the .exe, I then got the error:

DebugLog:(2) Error connecting to database : Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061) (2003)

I have obviously set something up incorrectly - but have no idea where to start! Can anyone please give me any clues?

Can you connect to the database through the mysql administrator? It might not even be running live.
