   Good Day,

   I just have a quick question...how do you know when to use define('DB_HOST', 'localhost'); over using an IP address (outside of when one doesn't work try the other and creating a local install)?

   I've had instances where I had 2 multisites installed on the same server where one needed the DB_HOST set to localhost in order to work and the other was fine with an IP address.

   Thanks in advance!!!

   It;s a hosting issue. It depends entirely where they keep their MySQL server.

   This is general SQL stuff not specific to multisite.
