what is http://127.0.0.1?

ever since I put up a personal firewall, when I start MySQL I''ve been getting alerts that MySQL is trying to access this ip address when I start it... what, exactly, is it, and is there any reason why MySQL would need to access the internet if I have apache on my own machine? thanks, Matt ----- Original Message ----- From: Jadiel Flores <jflores@abargon.com> To: <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Friday, July 26, 2002 6:33 PM Subject: Re: [PHP] Installed PHP on home Win98se, now how can I get browser to see it? > Obiously you need a WebServer too, you can install Apache or Personal Web > Server, and configure php to work with it, next you can browse you own > server with the address http://localhost or > http://127.0.0.1, maybe you > will have to install mysql for windows too if you wanna work with databases > too. > > Jadiel > > At 03:18 PM 7/26/2002 -0700, you wrote: > >Hello, > > > >I just installed the nice and easy one click PHP install to my Windows > >98se machine. > > > >I just want to be able to test and practice My basic PHP /MySQL stuff > >without up loading. > > > >So now what do I do. > > > >I ran the php info scripts and got bunch of weird messages. > > > >How do I get the PHP to work in my browsers IE, NN just as it does when > >uploaded to my hosting co's servers? > > > >Thanks, > >-Marcus > > > >-- > >||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| ||||||| > > > >Marcus Unlimited > >http://marcusunlimited.com > >Multimedia Internet Design and Education > >||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| ||||||| > > > >----------------------------------- > >Also visit: > >- http://www.chromaticus.com > >- http://ampcast.com/chromaticus > > > > > > > >-- > >PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > >To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php > > Jadiel Flores > ------------------------- > http://www.abargon.com > jflores@abargon.com > (52-55) 52-29-80-34 > > > > -- > PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
