Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Passing HTTP Get parameters….Hi,
Many thanks for your reply. I think the problem was that when i had a slug e.g.
mydomain.org/member/?memberId=1234
I was making URLs like member?foo=bar and it should be member/foo=bar.
Thanks,
Steve.Ah…
yes – checking my PHP application that was working I notice the database connection code uses 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost.
So bohica61 was pretty much right it seems with :
>Apparently there’s a bug in Windows 7 that causes MySQL connection >requests to time out when using “localhost” as a host name. (details >here — also affects Vista.)My fix was to change “localhost” to “127.0.0.1” when asked for the database host in wp-config. What a pain in the ass ! Let me know if this fixed it for you as well.
Hello – i too have been having this very problem. Sadly I do not yet have a fix for it either. It worked fine in XP, just wont work in Windows 7.

Nothing to do with the installation of these three things I suspect the other posters are the same. The WP user is set up and has all privileges – i can’t work this one out either…
