Gentlemen
I have found out what the problem was.
When I setup MySQL, I had setup a password.
In my 'mysqltest.php' file, I left password blank "". What a silly mistake.
<html>
<head><title>MySQL Connection Test</title></head>
<body>
<h2>
<?php
$connection = mysql_connect("localhost","root","")
or die("Sorry - unable to connect to MySQL");
echo("Congratulations - you connected to MySQL");
?>
</h2>
</body>
</html>
I just typed password there and problem solved.
I thank all of you who participated.
