4.4.1 image is not connecting to mysql properly

[daddykotex]

I've been struggling to figure out why this is not working. The first compose file is working, but the second is not.
Working:

docker run -d --name=some-mysql -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=root mysql:5.7.10
sleep 10 # just to make sure
docker run -d --name=some-wordpress -p 8082:80 --link some-mysql:mysql wordpress:4.4.0-apache

Not working:

docker run -d --name=some-mysql -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=root mysql:5.7.10
sleep 10 # just to make sure
docker run -d --name=some-wordpress -p 8082:80 --link some-mysql:mysql wordpress:4.4.1-apache

Looking at a bunch of comment on the docker hub repo, I'm not alone! The latest commit only shows version and SHA update.

Some containers will contain these log entries:

Complete! WordPress has been successfully copied to /var/www/html
Warning: mysqli::mysqli(): (HY000/2002): Connection refused in - on line 10
MySQL Connection Error: (2002) Connection refused
Warning: mysqli::mysqli(): (HY000/2002): Connection refused in - on line 10
MySQL Connection Error: (2002) Connection refused

Any idea on what happened?

Can you please check that you are not affected by #116 / #117

Check if your mysql host is set in wp-config.php

Ohh sorry, I looked for open issues.

This is the content of the wp-config in the non-working wordpress container (relevant lines only):

// ** MySQL settings - You can get this info from your web host ** //
/** The name of the database for WordPress */
define('DB_NAME', 'database_name_here');

/** MySQL database username */
define('DB_USER', 'username_here');

/** MySQL database password */
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'password_here');

/** MySQL hostname */
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');

As opposed to the working container:

// ** MySQL settings - You can get this info from your web host ** //
/** The name of the database for WordPress */
define('DB_NAME', 'wordpress');

/** MySQL database username */
define('DB_USER', 'root');

/** MySQL database password */
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'root');

/** MySQL hostname */
define('DB_HOST', 'mysql');

So I think we're on the same problem, right?

Yeah, update to docker hub is still pending :)

Ahh ok, I was about to say that building the latest would work! Ok thank you, I'll close this!
