Can’t connect to MySQL server on ‘localhost’ (10061)

Got this error on Windows because my mysqld.exe wasn’t running.

Ran “C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.5\bin\mysqld” –install from the command line to add it to my services, ran services.msc (start -> run), found the MySQL service and started it.

Didn’t have to worry about it from there on out.
