Cannot connect to "localhost"
MAC High Siera (Sory do not wish to upgrade as will lose bunch of costly Adobes" When trying to reach local host to use PHP and SQL, get cannot connect to the server "localhost". Suggestions please.
you will probably need a port address like 'localhost:3306' depending what your setup is.
If you can use phpmyadmin that will tell you if that did not work.
