Create Database, still can't install.

I was told to post my message here because I can’t figure this out.

So I created the MYSQL database from the recommendations and exact code it tells me to make on the wordpress site.

I do everything to a “T” and even use the local host. Yet when I go to run the install, I put the information in and nothing happens, it spins for a few minutes and then goes to a blank white page. What am I missing? There’s got to be something I’m doing wrong.

So I put in the code to display errors and this is what I got.

Actually I just got an error:

PHP Warning: mysql_connect(): [2002] A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not (trying to connect via tcp://localhost:3306) in D:\AimMusicGifts_blog\blog\wp-includes\wp-db.php on line 1034
PHP Warning: mysql_connect(): A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond.

PHP Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in D:\AimMusicGifts_blog\blog\wp-includes\wp-db.php on line 1034

The database is created, so what could be going on here?

I have php and mysql running.
