Thank you. If that is what is happening then I agree that it is not PHP
issue, so I am happy to go elsewhere for help. The only relevant suggestion
is that it might help to impove the warning message and to put something in
the php documentation to help people know where to look. Many people are
having problems with this.
I have seen the "MySQL Manual | A.2.2 Can't connect to [local] MySQL server"
page. It is confusing, since the title says "[local]" yet the last item on
the page that says to check the firewall says "to allow external access",
which I interpreted to mean not-local access.
I wish I knew what the disadvantage of pipes are. That is not a php issue,
though; it is something that the MySQL documentation should clarify.
Probably pipes work great if there is no need to access MySQL outside of the
system it is installed in. If so, then it would help for the MySQL
documentation to say so explicitely. It might say that, but I have not seen
it said. I know that MySQL does poll the internet very, very often and if
turning off it's use of the network eliminates access to the internet then
that is one less thing to be concerned about.
Maybe Windows is different than Linux in the way it handles connections on
127.0.0.1 ? What leads me to think about this is that only Windows firewalls
are mentioned.
