Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-03-18 12:58:50] jani dot pajunen at notta dot fi I can confirm that this bug/feature exists on windows 7 pro. It can be fixed by uncommenting the localhost 127.0.0.1-line in the hosts-file. This should be mentioned in the documentation. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-01-22 13:44:54] bjori@php.net Johannes: bug#50172 being bogus makes no sense to me. Please fix do something with the docs if that report is indeed bogus. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-01-22 04:17:05] cifroes at netcabo dot pt Description: ------------ According to: http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=50172 there is a know issue when using php + mysql in Windows 7. This is reported as not a bug in PHP but anyway this is a common showstopper so a big red bold alert should be present in the installation documentation of PHP regarding this and how to fix it ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=50819&edit=1
