I run MySql locally as a test environment, and want to let people know the latest Secyrity Update from Apple broke being able to connet to the DB from mojo at “localhost.”

I run MySQL 5.0.7 and PHP 5.3.2.

You get a “can not connect with these settings error” out of mojo.

Open your config and change localhost to 127.0.0.1 and you’re set.

Strangely either work to load the site from the browser.

I am 100% positive I could successfully connect prior to my latest OS update (I built the site using localhost).

Anyway, I am hoping I can save someone some grief.

I tried to install a fresh MM copy of MM and it wouldn’t go with localhost either. 127.0.0.1 works fine. I’m writing this off to an Apache or Mac issue and not a MM one. This is mostly a heads up to anyone having this problem.

Actually, I’ve had this problem for a while on my Mac (it’s been at least a year now). I don’t think it’s anything ‘new’, just a bug lurking around on Macs.

I was tooling along fine until a recent update. I’d given up, but when a new install into a new DB didn’t work I tried making this change.

I’m just glad I’m functioning again. Also, if I save one person that time it’ll be worth the post.
