WampServer

What should I do to solve the following error. The past 2 days I have read most of the forums that treat similar errors but i couldn't fix the problem. Maybe you could help me here. I would be very grateful. Thanx in advance

Warning: mysql_pconnect() [function.mysql-pconnect]: Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061) in D:\Hosting\5619974\html\Connections\movie.php on line 9

Fatal error: Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061) in D:\Hosting\5619974\html\Connections\movie.php on line 9

this is the code:
<?php
# FileName="Connection_php_mysql.htm"
# Type="MYSQL"
# HTTP="true"
$hostname_movie = "localhost";
$database_movie = "moviedb";
$username_movie = "root";
$password_movie = "password";
line 9 -> $movie = mysql_pconnect($hostname_movie, $username_movie, $password_movie) or trigger_error(mysql_error(),E_USER_ERROR);


?>

<?php

# FileName="Connection_php_mysql.htm"
# Type="MYSQL"
# HTTP="true"
$hostname_movie = "localhost";
$database_movie = "moviedb";
$username_movie = "root";
$password_movie = "";
$movie = mysql_pconnect($hostname_movie, $username_movie, $password_movie);

if (!$movie) {
echo "Could not connect to mysql!";
} else {
echo "Connected!";
}

?>

Using WAMP Server configured as Apache 2.2.14, PHP 5.3.1, and MySQL 5.1.41, changing the variables above to fit my WAMP Server configuration, adding the moviedb to MySQL, everything worked just fine for me. I did take out the trigger_error and added the if statement just to make sure I was connecting, but that shouldn't matter in your script.

Suggestions:
1) Double check the username="root" and password="password". MySQL in WAMP Server comes default with root having no password (password="" ). If you changed the default configuration, double check that you are using the correct user and password.

first, your project folder is not in the default document root c:/wamp/www

second, did you create db account yet? if not, follow this
