ID: 16285 Updated by: edink@php.net Reported By: x@psynchro.org -Status: Critical +Status: Closed Bug Type: MySQL related Operating System: Linux 2.4.7-10 PHP Version: 4.1.2 Assigned To: derick New Comment: See http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=16768 Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-04-24 09:55:14] derick@php.net Yes, that works. But the mysql client just doesn't use the UNIX domain sockets anymore... which is really what you want. Derick ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-04-24 09:42:17] yavuz@qweb.nl I had the same problems. What I did was the following: edit the file /etc/hosts It contained: 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost It's now: 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain After reboot it works now. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-03-26 08:00:35] derick@php.net Reproduced ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-03-26 07:59:33] x@psynchro.org [This is actually a 4.2.0rc1 issue, but there isn't an option for that in the dropdown] When connecting to mysql with php 4.2.0rc1, having specified 'localhost' as the hostname, 'localhost.localdomain' is actually passed to the mysql server. (Reported in both the error message, and the mysql log.) This behaviour was seen initially when attempting to use ACID and phpMyAdmin. After reversion back to php 4.1.2, however, 'localhost' is again passed as expected. config args: --with-mysql --with-imap --with-kerberos --with-apxs --with-imap-ssl --with-gd ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=16285&edit=1
