ID: 62390 Updated by: johan...@php.net Reported by: rbnsjnr at gmail dot com Summary: localhost x 127.0.0.1 -Status: Open +Status: Not a bug Type: Bug Package: MySQL related Operating System: Linux-3.2.21 Debian/Wheezy PHP Version: 5.4.4 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself. For a list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the appropriate forum for asking support questions. Due to the volume of reports we can not explain in detail here why your report is not a bug. The support channels will be able to provide an explanation for you. Thank you for your interest in PHP. When using localhost it won't try connecting using TCP/IP but using a Unix Domain Socket. By default it expects the socket file to be /tmp/mysql.sock. If that's not your socket location youhave to use the --with-mysql-sock configure option or set mysql.default_socket, mysqli.default_socket and pdo_mysql.default_socket in php.ini or use a specific socket using i.e. mysql_connect(":/path/to/socket", "user", "pass"); You can find the socket location fromyour my.cnf file or by doing something like <?php mysql_connect("127.0.0.1", "root", ""); $r = mysql_query("SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'socket'"); print_r(mysql_fetch_row($r)); ?> Please mind that using mysql_* functions from the "mysql" extension is not suggested anymore. You should migrate to either mysqli or PDO.

I could not find answers on the Internet. The PHP5.4.4 is not connecting to the mysql database with the function mysql_connect () and the parameter "localhost". When using the parameter "127.0.0.1", this function connects without problem. See the example below that the error does not return PHP5.4.3 and PHP5.4.4 returns an error. Note: My PHP5.4.3 and 5.4.4 were compiled with the following parameters: --prefix=/opt/php-5.4.3 --with-apxs2=/opt/httpd-2.4.2/bin/apxs --with-mysql --with-pgsql=/opt/PostgreSQL/9.0/ --with-zlib --with-bz2 --with-openssl --with-kerberos --enable-calendar --enable-ftp --enable-intl --enable-soap --enable-sockets --enable-zip --prefix=/opt/php-5.4.4 --with-apxs2=/opt/httpd-2.2.22/bin/apxs --with-mysql --with-pgsql=/opt/PostgreSQL/9.0/ --with-zlib --with-bz2 --with-openssl --with-kerberos --enable-calendar --enable-ftp --enable-intl --enable-soap --enable-sockets --enable-zip Test script: --------------- <?php $con = mysql_connect("localhost","u_joomlades","u_joomlades"); if (!$con) { die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error()); echo "\n"; } mysql_close($con); echo "\n"; ?> Expected result: ---------------- Replacing the parameter "localhost" to "127.0.0.1" the PHP5.4.4 connects without problems. rubens@debian:~$ /opt/php-5.4.3/bin/php bd.php rubens@debian:~$ /opt/php-5.4.4/bin/php bd.php rubens@debian:~$ Actual result: -------------- rubens@debian:~$ /opt/php-5.4.3/bin/php bd.php rubens@debian:~$ /opt/php-5.4.4/bin/php bd.php Warning: mysql_connect(): No such file or directory in /home/rubens/bd.php on line 3 Could not connect: No such file or directory rubens@debian:~$ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=62390&edit=1
