mysql in windows uses tcp/ip for connection between client/server by default, so normally people use 127.0.0.1 in this case and it works. because of this, some people think that they can pull off the same thing on linux servers. when it comes to these newer mysql versions, you have to bind 127.0.0.1 to localhost before actually using the ip.

softwares like mysql actually prefer using local sockets over tcp/ip because it has less overhead and is normally faster when authenticating and connecting

i am right
