Description Happy-melon 2010-03-18 15:17:51 UTC
Cf http://bugs.php.net/45150.  We should use "127.0.0.1" instead where necessary.
Comment 1 Chad H. 2010-05-07 15:15:19 UTC
It would be nice to check if we can connect via the Unix socket and default to 127.0.0.1 if we can't. Haven't come up with some way to do that yet though.
Comment 2 Sam Reed (reedy) 2010-08-07 13:00:17 UTC
It's been marked as bogus
Comment 3 p858snake 2010-08-07 13:08:34 UTC
This is due to IPv6 Support in windows at least (http://blogs.iis.net/donraman/archive/2010/06/11/php-5-3-and-mysql-connectivity-problem.aspx (Linked in the above report)), Do Linux systems also have the same issue and we just haven't picked up on it?
Comment 4 Chad H. 2010-08-08 11:41:53 UTC
Fixing summary (my fault anyway), this is about $wgDBhost, not about $wgServer.
Comment 5 Chad H. 2010-09-09 16:59:30 UTC
WONTFIX. Tweaked some help info in r72664, though.

See the commit and help tweak for more info.
