Getting error “connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:3306” while connecting to mysql

Question

I\'m new to nodeJs and trying to develop my first application. I installed mysql package through npm, It got installed and I can see a successful entry of it in package.json

Answer 1

Have you started your XAMPP Server ?.

connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:3306 -- this error came, when you not started your XAMPP server.

Please remove socketPath & try once.

I have faced same kind of issue, when I not started the XAMPP server.
