MySQL error 2003 when using Navicat

Question

I connect to my MySQL database using Navicat. I've just got an error

[Err] 2003 - Can't connect to MySQL server on 'www.website.com' (10061)

I connect to the database using port 3306. I can't edit any admin settings as it's hosted on a shared server, inmotion.com

This occurred after having an error with a query. Possible max connection error? It's set at 10 but I can't edit it because of the shared server.

Answer 1

Yes, it means that the DB is unresponsive. Restarting mysqld process should fix this.
