Pete,
thanks for your exhaustive answer. I didn't try using '127.0.0.1' instead of
'localhost', as I though that anything that points to the lo interface would
be using a socket.
luckily, speed is no concern to me, as this connection is only used to make
php development while being able to connect to the live database.
Thanks again for your help,
Ben
