I'm new to this list so I could be wrong, but it seems to me like your mysqld isn't running. Check which services are running and if mysqld isn't running start it and try again, that worked for me. (btw I made sure the daemon now starts every time I boot.) If you're running a gui: go to the control panel open the services dialog and simply check the correct box.
