I commented out the bind-address and restarted MySQL. Still refuses to make connection through Unix socket. And for permissions, they came back as I was expected; I have created my mysql user to have access to "localhost" so: mysql -h127.0.0.1 -D dbname -u<username> -p # Rejected, obviously mysql -h<publicIP> -D dbname -u<username> -p # Rejected mysql -hlocalhost -D dbname -u<username> -p # Accepted as I expected But yet, PHP only connects to MySQL through TCP (127.0.0.1) but not "localhost"!
