>From what I have read today, localhost is the only one planned to be "on" by default. Listening on a TCP/IP socket on localhost will allow JDBC connections to work out of the box (this exact problem tripped me up, and I'm sure this is the case for other users). I suspect other cross-platform APIs (PHP for example) need TCP/IP sockets to connect too.
