Uninstalled everything but the Apache server, installed PHP 5.1.4 and
MySQL 5.0.22 and copied libmysqli.dll to the /windows/system32
directory.

Apache and PHP seem to be working fine (can load phpinfo) and MySQL
monitor tells me MySQL is also running.
But MySQL Administrator and MySQL Query Browser return the error:

"Could not connect to the specified instance
MySQL Error Number 2003
Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061)"

No problem pinging 127.0.0.1.

Tried uninstalling everything but Apache, restart the machine and
install everything again. No luck.
Restarted Apache and MySQL. Same.

The installation process for this software seems quite straightforward
so I can't imagine what I missed.

Any suggestions?

Thank you,
