Graham - Thanks - but still no joy! :-( When I cd to the app directory, do 'cake bake', the do a C for Controller I still get the flood of warnings that start:
"Warning: mysql_connect(): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/mysql/mysql.sock' " My undersandting is that message-stream says cake is using the OS X CLI php There must be yet another burried .ini/cfg file I'm missing. I am using virtual host and the Apache httpd-vhosts.cnf but pretty sure that has no effect on this stuff. php.ini is now set to: ; Default socket name for local MySQL connects. If empty, uses the built-in ; MySQL defaults. mysql.default_socket = /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/var/mysql/ mysql.sock and my.cnf.ini has: # The following options will be passed to all MySQL clients [client] #password = your_password password = xyzzy port = 3306 socket = /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/var/mysql/mysql.sock On May 14, 2:35 am, Graham Weldon <[email protected]> wrote: > Hey, > > What is your php.ini value for "mysql.default_socket" set to? > This will tell PHP where your socket file is for MySQL, and help get you > connected. > > You can check this file location by looking in your MySQL my.cnf file > for the line indicating "socket = " > > For example, a MAMP install has the following socket definition in my.cnf > socket = /Applications/MAMP/tmp/mysql/mysql.sock > > Hope this helps.
