Login to Terminal Services/remote desktop and start mysql through the services snap-in. If it won't start, Google the error message you receive to find a solution (first).

Is the mysql server on the same machine?

Did u try disabling any firewall/antivirus programs just for testing?

Are you able to connect to mysql from command prompt

 

[Amin Taheri]

typically if its installed under the defaults you can do this from a command prompt.

net start mysql

or smoetimes its called mysql5

net start mysql5

if its already running you will get an error like this

The requested service has already been started.

More help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 2182.

then test it

cd C:\Program Files\Parallels\Plesk\MySQL\bin\
mysql -uadmin -p -b
enter password: <enter your admin password there>

I have seen many server with same problem..mysql service status is disabled after installation of Plesk. You can enable it from Start >> Programs >> Administrative Tools >> Service >> search form MySQL >> Right click >> Properties >> select Automatic from the drop down list >> Apply >> Start >> Ok.
Login to Plesk >> Server >> Component information >> Refresh this will refresh all the services and enabled mysql connection from plesk.
