[Phpwiki-talk] MySQL database via localhost?

[John K. <jo...@ke...>]

Hi,

I discovered recently that I was used 1.5Gb of my bandwidth on 
'remote MySQL transfers' because I was using 'kershaw.org' as 
$hostname. My ISP said I should set $hostname to 
'localhost:/tmp/mysql.kershaw' in my php scripts and the requests 
will stay internal to the server.

I reduced my usage by a third, but realised a couple of my phpwikis 
were still using:

     'dsn' => 'mysql://dbusername:pas...@ke.../databasename',

I tried to change one of them to:

     'dsn' => 'mysql://dbusername: 
password@localhost:/tmp/mysql.kershaw/databasename',

but get a bunch of errors which I presume come from phpwiki parsing 
the hostname incorrectly out of the string.

How do I get things working properly?

(phpwiki 1.3.2)

John.
