Hi,
I've had a working bot without any problems for ages. I've just completely re-installed everything including PHP and MySql only I'm getting the following error
Curl extension loaded
Warning: mysql_connect(): [2002] A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not (trying to connect via tcp://localhost:3306) in H:\Bebot\Sources\MySQL.php on line 129
Warning: mysql_connect(): A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond.
in H:\Bebot\Sources\MySQL.php on line 129
MySQL ERROR(# 1) on query: Cannot connect to the database server at localhost as user botuser!
A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond.
I can log into the database using EMS SQL Manager Lite using the "botuser" account and I have access for everything. I've rechecked and re-done my grant privileges to make sure I have full access to the DB. I can browse the DB without any limitation. The service is clearly running or I wouldn't be able to access it at all.
I've re-installed the DB twice and it's had no effect.
Anyone got any ideas why this is happening?

OK figured it out (well technically someone in the guild did but I'm sure I'd have got there eventually ;))
In Windows 7 Hone Premium edition, 127.0.0.1 is not mapped to localhost in the /Windows/System32/Drivers/Etc hosts file. It's commented out and makes a note that it will be picked up by DNS. Uncommented it and bam, bot connected straight away.
What a crock of shit. Thats all I have to say on it.
Anyway all sorted and the bots back up.
