Answer 1

There can be multiple solutions regarding your problem:

1. Is there a running instance of MySQL on your machine?
2. If there is, is the port you are using correct?
3. Have you tried just using localhost:3306 without the parameters?

If the connection was working before there seems to be a problem regarding your machine and not your code. The code you have given looks fine to me.

Hope it was helpful.
