WampServer

This is one of the few things I have not been able to figure out on my own.

I was humming along truly enjoying a local environment when windows asked to restart so it could configure updates for norton antivirus and adobe acrobat reader. As a responsible citizen of the web I said sure and restarted. When the computer started back up again my WAMP icon was yellow.

Now when I try to bring up phpadmin I get this message: #2002 - No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. The server is not responding (or the local server's socket is not correctly configured).

Local host works fine, nothing but apache and php on port 80
MYSQL had to be turned on, service did not start on its own for some reason
I can turn the service on but I will still get the #2002 message
The only thing on this database is concrete5

So far I have turned off the norton antivirus firewall hoping it might have been blocking access to the database but that is not it

Any help would be truly appreciated

Update

I ran localhost/testmysql.php and got this response

Hi,

Please READ (and answer) BEFORE YOU ASK A QUESTION
If the MySQL service is not started, there is no point in trying to connect to a database, it will never work.

See also the errors (only ERRORS) in the log files and in the event observer.
