Error in configuring MySql workbench - Failed to connect to MySql at localhost

Question

I am new to MySql workbench and never needed to use a lot of DBs before now.

I had an sql script containing all the DB creation, tables, population etc. So using MySql workbench, I Reversed Engineering Using a Create Script. Fine, it worked as I can see my tables.

Now I want perform some select over my data and I first need to create a new connection, So I tried to Creating a MySQL Connection but when I test the connection, I get the following error: "Failed to connect to MySql server on 127.0.0.1" (10061).

Question: what to use in the below menu (Connection/RemoteManagement/System Profile) or what else could be my problem?

mySqlWorkbench

@podiluska, you are saying it because I inserted one wrong tag over 4, right? I just deleted it by the way — eeadev, Jul 14 '14 at 10:04
@BojanKovacevic, thanks for responding. I cant connect using mysql --host=localhost mydb because I get an error 2003, which seems to be that the server cannot be reached — eeadev, Jul 14 '14 at 10:25
if that doesnt work,check to see if server is running (for example in services) — Bojan Kovacevic, Jul 14 '14 at 10:32

my problem was that I didnt have a db, so I decided to use wampserver which includes everything and it's very simple to use.
