WampServer

Just today the phpMyAdmin page suddenly stopped working and it gave the following error.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.

Welcome to phpMyAdmin

Error

MySQL said: Documentation
#2003 - Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061)

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Not sure what changed in my system. It's running on a Vista machine. Windows updates are always installing updates.

I've disabled the Windows Firewall, it didn't help.

[localhost] - works
Indicator at the bottom: Stuck on Yellow.

Make sure the MySQL Service is running. Left WAMP tray icon > MySQL > Service. If the Start/Resume Service option is not disabled then MYSQL is not running. Left click this option to start the MySQL Service.
