Trying to connect to mysql with PHP under windows XP pro.
The solution to this problem was for me to connect
.via named pipe (FIFO)
in the my.ini, I added this:
enable-named-pipe
and renamed localhost:
HOST=.
(just a dot) and not
HOST=localhost
which, if I anderstand well try to find its way via TCP/IP and for some reason doesn't.
I overlooked the installation manual.
Everything works just fine now.
Hope I helped someone.
