Thank you Roger,
Yes, I can ping my localhost, designated LAN IP, and 127.0.0.1 just fine.
No, I do not run any DNS server on the machine that I am having this
problem. The whole point of using locahost Vs. 127.0.0.1 is to avoid
the overhead of TCP by using Unix socket file. A system that I'm
running PHP and MySQL is a Slackware 10.1 with 2.6.11.3 kernel (Intel
x86). I do have a Solaris box but that's entirely irrelevent. :)
I have disabled networking connection to MySQL ("skip networking") in
/etc/my.cfg as I run the necessary programs only on one system. All
MySQL users (root and what not) only have privileges to "localhost"
and nothing else.
P.S. You may want to reply to php-db@xxxxxxxxxxxxx so it would be
posted to the mailing-list archive as oppose to directing your
response solely to me. :)
