I've installed phpbb3 on AMPPS on my local machine.
By having an internet connection running in the background, everything works fine and I get a proper connection to my local MySQL database on localhost - Yippee :-)
BUT by closing the internet connection, I'm getting an 2002 " the local server's socket is not correctly configured "
It seems, that ' localhost ' could not be resolved if the machine has no internet connection.
I've tried to change in the config.inc.php
from line
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] = 'localhost';
to line
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] = '127.0.0.1';
but still no MySQL connection to localhost while being offline. (Note: reconnecting the machine to the internet the SQL connection to localhost works fine, hmm ... )
PLS help - THX

localhost issue by closing the internet connection
uupps, seems I've chosen the wrong forum, because my question belongs to ' AMPPS ' and not to the 'Softaculous Auto Installer '.
Anyway - I've installed phpBB on my local machine by myself using the ' install.php ' and not an Auto Installer.
I get into the issue by calling the startpage of phpBB.
When there is no internet connection, I'm getting the ' 2002 - the local server's socket is not correctly configured '. But by reconnection my local machine to the internet everthing works fine.
