On the original server, my config.php had
Code: Select all
<?php
// phpBB 3.1.x auto-generated configuration file
// Do not change anything in this file!
$dbms = 'mysql';
$dbhost = 'localhost';
$dbport = '';
...
My hosts file is the same between the two machines, so I can't see that being the route of the problem. And as noted, my.cnf and php.ini are the same...
I suppose I should be happy that it works, but...I'm puzzled as to why this difference has arisen? I know this is more a mySQL than phpBB thing, but given the experience base of phpBB users/admin, thought I'd try here first....
Pointers to the obvious appreciated...
Thanks...
