[Hidden-tech] Drupal question

[Jeff Mard]

From one of my Drupal guys:

I looked it up to check and it can be multiple things but one stood out to me that might solve it from the info he sent.

In settings.php use 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost for the mysql server host.

Or in his case, the drushrc.php file change it there to 127.0.0.1 and see if that helps.
