Re: Problem Connecting to MySQL Database

 First things first:
a)locate mysql's configuration file my.cnf normally under /etc , make
sure that the lineskip_networking does not appear in it !
b)comment it out if it's in the file.
c) Restart mysql
d)telnet to port 3306 manually and see if the server answers the connection.

if all of the above works then you are go !
