php - MySQL working with 127.0.0.1 but not working with localhost?

Question

I have a strange problem in php MySQL:

php connects with 127.0.0.1 but not with localhost.

How to solve this issue?

Answer 1

Try ping localhost in a command line, it may be resolving to ::1: the IP6 equivalent to 127.0.0.1

To fix it, add (or uncomment) the line:

   127.0.0.1       localhost
