Error?

I'm trying to make a World of Warcraft Ascent server.
I've done most of the work, but when I try to use HeidiSQL this window pops up asking me for my hostname/ip, user, password, port, and database.

hostname/ip: 127.0.0.1
user: root
password: *********
port: 3306 timeout: 30 seconds
Database(s)(separated by semicolon):

I didn't and still don't know what to put under Database(s), so I just type in db.
I clicked the " Save + Connect " button, and then a window pops up and says "Could not establish connection! Details:
SQL Error: Can't connect to MySQL server on '127.0.0.1' (10061)


If someone could please help that would be marvelous.

I got the guide from <a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=j1f8JUssYUg">here</a> and I followed exactly what the video said.

An off-topic remark (and don't take me wrong: it's not a complain against the original poster):

The video is really cool. Let's say you want to publish a text with instructions on how to do something. What do you do? A blog? A wiki? A *.txt file? Good old HTML? Nope! You create subtitles in an empty video! It's amazing to realize the huge amount of work some guys will take to provide information in the most annoying useless media.

Alright. Whatever that World of Warcraft Ascent server thingie is (sorry, I wasn't able to spend five minutes staring at the screen to read a dozen lines of text), if HeidiSQL is mentioned anywhere on its documentation it's because WoWAS either requires or provides a program called MySQL Server.

It it requires that program, you need to download, install and configure it yourself. MySQL default settings are:

Server: localhost
User: root
Password: <blank>
Databases: <blank>

If it provides the program, they it's WoWAS who has to tell you what settings it has used. Otherwise you have no way to find out.

In either case, I suggest you read WoWAS documentation or find a WoWAS forum. Your issue has little relation with HeidiSQL and no one here knows how to install WoWAS.
