node.js-mysql connection failed on windows7 - mysql

Question

I am just getting started with nodejs.
My question is that i get an Error:
connect ECONNREFUSED
npm install mysql;
server.js
var mysql = require('mysql');
var connection = mysql.createConnection({
host: '127.0.0.1',
port: '3306'
});
connection.connect(function(err) {
if(err) {
console.log(err);
}
});
connection.end();
Finally
1.I don't know the "user" and "password";
2."In mysql.conf, comment skip-networking.", I can't find mysql.conf;
3.I have tried this and it's not working, my platform is windows 7.
var client = mysql.createClient({
user: uuuu,
password: pppp,
host: '127.0.0.1',
port: '3306',
_socket: '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock',});

Answer 1

It's clear you have not install mysql server in your windows yet. So you should go to http://www.mysql.com and download the server, install and set up, you can set your username and password and grant privilege to it, so you will know the user and password, and mysql.conf will be inside your installation. And if you are in windows, generally you would not use a UNIX socket to build the connection. So "_socket: '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock'" should not be here.
