A connection being actively refused from a machine could be a symptom of a firewall or similar blocking the connection, or that the MySQL service isn't running on the machine.

Check to ensure that MySQL is running, and also check that PHP has an exemption to allow connection to the database. If your MySQL database is hosted remotely, there might be restrictions on which IP addresses can connect to it. If that's the case, make sure to add your IP address as an authorised connection.

You're using the wrong host name, or the wrong port, or MySQL isn't running.
