Changed DB_HOST to 127.0.0.1 and it worked

George,

Thanks.

mysql> SHOW GRANTS FOR wordpress@localhost -> ;+——————————————————————+| Grants for wordpress@localhost |+——————————————————————+| GRANT USAGE ON *.* TO wordpress@localhost || GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON wordpress.* TO wordpress@localhost |+——————————————————————+2 rows in set (0.00 sec)

This is my wp-config

// ** Database settings – You can get this info from your web host ** //
/** The name of the database for WordPress */
define( ‘DB_NAME’, ‘wordpress’ );

/** Database username */
define( ‘DB_USER’, ‘wordpress’ );

Thanks for your help

bcworkz, Thanks for your help. I am having some trouble with this. Can you explain how you register for receiving an external HTTP POST request and responding to it? I would be glad to pay for the help. Thanks.

OK. I have a long python script that needs to run to service the user. I think I will make the python script listen on a socket and get requests from WP/PHP. I assume that PHP has a sockets interface.

I appreciate the feedback from all the responders.

Looks like to use other threads, that PHP has to be build with ZTS (Thread Safe). I notice that the usual WP installation doesn’t have a PHP with ZTS. So is it a bad idea to write Multi threaded php?

Regarding your statement ” I don’t think WP does anything with process control, but of course PHP has several process control modules. ” This leads me to deduce that PHP when used with WordPress is exactly or very similiar to PHP when executed stand alone (without WordPress). I am new to WP/PHP that is why I want to clarify my assumption.

Thanks

My WP plugin is not for distribution, it is to solve my particular problem in WP. I assume that my WP site is always running on a Linux server, so maybe a PHP process control module that implements pthreads would be good enough. Thanks for the pointer on CRON.

I will be getting a small amount of data with the POST. I will check on admin-post.php. Thank you.

Yes, and re-installed everything from scratch.
