 * Brand new install on a new server, but after I log into WordPress, it gives the
   error:
 * “An error occurred while loading [http://127.0.0.1/wp-login.php](http://127.0.0.1/wp-login.php):
   
   Connection to host 127.0.0.1 is broken.” (I’m hosting it on my home PC)
 * However, I can access every other page such as moderation.php, themes.php, etc.
   It even shows that I am logged into WP, and I am able to update the blog without
   any issues.
 * Unfortunately, clicking on the Dashboard link or heading to “[http://127.0.0.1/wp-admin/index.php&#8221](http://127.0.0.1/wp-admin/index.php&#8221);
   results in the aforementioned error.
 * Does anyone have any ideas?

 * Fixed it. The memory_limit value in php.ini was set to 8M, so the script would
   crash each time I tried to log in. Changing the value to 64M and a reboot solved
   the problem.
