#19377 closed Cleanup/optimization (fixed)

Editing settings.py host and port on windows

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.

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.

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?
