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
