Hi List!
I forward this message from John Down (thanks to him):
---------------------------------------------------------------------- don't know, if that breaks anything in your code, but it seems to work for me:
there is something in common.lib.php that makes it impossible to connect to mysql on a Windows System via Pipes.
It's on lines 298-301: // Don't use servers with no hostname if (empty($val['host'])) { unset($cfgServers[$key]); }
If I comment this out, Pipes are also possible.
I just wanted to mention, maybe there are some people interested in the "skip-networking" option for mysql, which makes it possible to operate without an open 3306 tcp port on Windoze also.
At least I never saw this somewhere documented, but if you give no hostname, php connects via pipes on the localhost.
Funny: $cfgServers[1]['connect_type'] = 'tcp'; has no meaning in that case...
Have a nice day, Jones --------------------------------------------------------------------------
