Hi mmccarn,
Thank you very much for your comment, I really appreciate it.
Very strange. This morning, I restarted my Virtual Machine and Wordfence uses myswl57.sock.
Wordfence > Tools > Diagnostics > at the bottom of the page, expand Other Tests > "Click to view your system's configuration in a new window" > in the middle of the page, under the title "mysql":
- "mysql.default_host" localhost:/var/lib/mysql/mysql57.sock
- "mysql.default_socket" /var/lib/mysql/mysql57.sock.
I started the previous snapshot of this VM and this one uses "/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock". The only difference is that on the latest VM, I installed a Let's Encrypt certificate.
On both of the VM, I installed the Duplicator extension before installing Wordfence. On both of them, Duplicator > Tools, i see:
- PHP: Version 7.1.22 // MySQL: Version 5.7.16.
I will reinstall Wordfence on one VM that have only WordPress installed and let you know.
Again, thank you very much,
Michel-André
