From what I have read today, localhost is the only one planned to be "on" by
default.
Listening on a TCP/IP socket on localhost will allow JDBC connections to work
out of the box (this exact problem tripped me up, and I'm sure this is the
case for other users).
I suspect other cross-platform APIs (PHP for example) need TCP/IP sockets to
connect too.
