http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/connecting.html "On Unix, MySQL programs treat the host name localhost specially, in a way that is likely different from what you expect compared to other network-based programs. For connections to localhost, MySQL programs attempt to connect to the local server by using a Unix socket file." So no, 127.0.0.1 != localhost in the context of MySQL on Unix. -- Matthew Weigel hacker unique & idempot . ent
