I was messing around and found out that with “Allow local access only” enabled I was able to gain access using socket but not through IP address.

The my.cnf file in 1.8.4 has “bind-address = 127.0.0.1″ in it already but I am still getting the exact same problem. It can be solved when i uncheck “Allow local access only” but I don’t really want to do that.

Any idea what seems to be the proper solution for this?

Nope, no problems at all actually – this is how i do almost all of my local development. Do you have Firebug installed, are you getting any kind of errors? have you tried a straight ‘hello world’ plain javascript file??

Sorry Phil, If this is not relevant to the above post, but wanted to ask, did you have any problems with js files using MAMP? My site runs fine locally but through MAMP the jquery.js files wont work. Is something wrong with the MAMP setup?

Thanks

David’s solution, plus adding the bind-address=127.0.0.1 worked for me. I’m using XAMPP for Mac OS X also. I was experiencing problems using MySQL’s Workbench in conjunction with XAMPP. I kept getting that error even though Workbench still detected that the server was running.

I hadn’t tried that… make sure you are blocking the mysql ports on your firewall – and of course change the default login/pass.

I was experiencing the exact same error with Snow Leopard & MAMP 1.8.4 and disabling ‘Allow local access only’ fixed the issue.
