I'm using the following to connect to MySQL

<?php
    $con = mysqli_connect('127.0.0.1', 'root', 'root', 'chat');

    if(mysqli_connect_errno($con)) {
        echo mysqli_connect_error($con);
        die;
    }
?>

But, I'm given the following error

Warning: mysqli_connect(): (HY000/2002): Connection refused

I've never run into this error before and I have no idea what it means. I'm able to connect my DB via PHPMyAdmin and an SQL desktop client.

Are you sure you are using 127.0.0.1 in PHPMyAdmin too? – idmean Sep 06 '14 at 09:47

@GolezTrol Yep, it just came to mind that he probably isn't the first person with this question ;) – Peter van der Wal Sep 06 '14 at 09:55
