Description
The documentation says to leave HOST and PORT as empty strings to use the localhost. I did that on Windows 7 64 bit and it couldn't connect when I ran "python manage.py syncdb". When I filled in the values with 127.0.0.1 and 3306, then it was able to run. So a note might be nice for Windows users.

A note in the tutorial would be nice too since that's what I was following: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.4/intro/tutorial01/

I regret adding that note in the database specific docs as I think it's probably best not to duplicate the note we have in settings.

Mostly fine for me. What about linking to the HOST docs from the database docs?

We have recently added such a note in databases docs (249c3d730e632b3c5b8c2bf5e6e871d61df15c6c). I guess we should add a similar note in the settings docs, or even better, add a link to the databases docs.
