do not connect to mysql using "localhost"
Submitted by aut0maticdan (registered user) on Tue, 2007-01-02 16:42.

Make sure you use 127.0.0.1 or another alias (such as something hosts file) to make the mysql connection.  If you use "localhost" mysql, you will not be able to authenticate properly since mysql will think you are trying to use the local socket.

 This article is not incorrect,  but I didn't want any to go crazy with authentication problems trying to use localhost.
