I am using PHP Version 5.0.1, MySQL 5.0.1-alpha-nt, and Apache/2.0.48 with

connect to the "localhost" I get:
Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect.chm]: Can't connect to
MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061)
I get that when the firewall does not allow Apache and MySQL to access the
internet. When I do allow Apache to access the internet, mysql_connect with
the same parameters works. Is that waht is supposed to happen?
I assume this is a PHP problem but I can't be sure it is, so I apologize if
it is not.
I realize that I have not provided much information. If access to the
internet is normal when the server and client are in the same system, then I
won't spend much more time on this. If however it sounds like a bug, then I
will gather as much information that I can and submit a bug report.
Hi,
AFAIK MySQL on windows by default tries to use TCP/IP, this differs from the
default behavior on *nix, where it tries to Unix socket and after that TCP/IP.
On windows nt one can use named pipes, however they are not enabled by
default. Use --enable-named-pipe, or just --skip-networking. The latter instructs
MySQL not to use TCP/IP.
