New Installation...old script...Perl...PHP

[Martin Cloutier <martinc@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
    I have install 2 new system with PHP, PERL, APACHE, MYSQL, (Redhat 7)

Everything is fine except one little thing.

My PHP and Perl scripts will not work with a "localhost" address. ie:

this works:
$dbh=DBI->connect("dbi:mysql:fldev:127.0.0.1","user","pass");
but this does not:
$dbh=DBI->connect("dbi:mysql:fldev:localhost","user","pass");

I presume that this has something to do with my permissions... or my apache setup... any insight... or tutorial I could read?

Regards

Martin
