WampServer

My Wordpress install is running REALLY slow on WAMP server. I have read somewhere that changing mysql_connect from 'localhost' to '127.0.0.1' will help. Could someone please explain how I can do that?

THANKS!

Check the WordPress site.

Good lord do I have to do everything for everyone.

I actually checked that site already, couldn't find the solution. Thanks anyhow.

If anyone could explain how I go about changing the mysql_connect ('localhost','root'....etc. it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

good lord,

On this page [codex.wordpress.org]

Under the title "Set Database Host" it tell you exactly what to do

Quote

Replace 'localhost', with the name of your database host, e.g. MyDatabaseHost. A port number or Unix socket file path may be needed as well.

So edit the filewp-config-sample.php

Find the parameter

define( 'DB_HOST', 'localhost' );

and chnage it to

define( 'DB_HOST', '127.0.0.1' );
