Hi everyone,

I am trying to configure a mysql server for our wikimedia service. We are using ipv6 of the mysql server. I am not sure how to configure $wgDBServer with an ipv6. I am able to configure the server with ipv6. I tried to set:

1. $wgDBServer = [IPAddress]:Portname
2. $wgDBServer = IPAddress

But none of the above works for me.

Thanks very much in advance. _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l

First of all, keep in mind $wgDBserver is case sensitive. It needs to be a lowercase s.

Google comes up with https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=67563 - With that in mind, I would recommend using the DNS name of the mysql server you're using instead of its IP address (Or if it doesn't have one, create an entry in /etc/hosts for it). Failing that, try switching php to use the mysqli driver if you're using the mysql driver.
