localhost is what you use if the MySQL server is running on your own computer. If it is on a remote computer, then you need to know the IP address. You shouldn't need to use sockets directly. Rev handles all that stuff for you in the database routines.
Have a look at the 2 MySQL stacks available on my web site. I have used them to connect to local and remote servers without any problems.

For some reason I can't open this stack through the file open command under OS X (10.2.6) and when I open it under OS 9 the fields are spread all over the place. Anyone else had such a problem?
I've tried to access a MySQL db running under redhat 9 (which shouldn't be a problem) as [EMAIL PROTECTED] password but I can't get an ID. When I try using another user (not root) I still can't make a connection. I note that the include files I created to let web users use the db gives 'localhost' as the HOST parameter, and I believe I should use socket access instead - how do I do that??
Thanks
