I have written an application that connects to a database on a remote machine which uses MySQLdb 1.2.0. The application works perfectly when connecting to the database from a remote machine, however when it attempts to connect to a database on the same machine a connection error is generated. I have attached what little info I can below.
DBSERVERIP = "1.2.3.4" db = MySQLdb.connect(host=DBSERVERIP, user="user", passwd="password", db="nuke") --- it refuses to connect on the above line and the exception is caught and a message displayed. I have tried changing the server IP to "localhost" or the hostname, however the same problem arises. Information: Python 2.3.5, MySQLdb 1.2.0, MySQL 5.0.21 and Windows 2K pro. I would be grateful for any help with this problem. Kind regards, rod -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
