note 96655 added to mysql.installation

Windows 7 / Vista: This took me hours to realise... If you receive the message: Warning: mysql_connect(): [2002] A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not (trying to connect via tcp://localhost:3306) You may need to map localhost to your IP address (127.0.0.1) which is used to find your Mysql server. Edit {systemdrive}:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc Make sure "127.0.0.1 localhost" isn't commented out with # at the begining of the line! ----- You may also like to know that if you change from MySQL 32 bit to 64 bit and the Mysql service wont start you may need to rename or delete your Mysql data {systemdrive}:\ProgramData\x MySQL\MySQL Server 5.1\data Regards, Jez. ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 86.134.75.50 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/mysql.installation.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/96655 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/96655/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/96655/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/96655/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/96655/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/96655/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/96655/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/96655 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/96655 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
