I am currently reading "Beginning CakePHP:From Novice to Professional" by David Golding. At one point I have to use the CLI-command "cake bake", I get the welcome-screen but when I try to bake e.g. a Controller I get the following error messages:
Warning: mysql_connect(): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/mysql/mysql.sock' (2) in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/blog/cake/libs/model/datasources/dbo/dbo_mysql.php on line 117
Warning: mysql_select_db(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/blog/cake/libs/model/datasources/dbo/dbo_mysql.php on line 122
Warning: mysql_get_server_info(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/blog/cake/libs/model/datasources/dbo/dbo_mysql.php on line 130
Warning: mysql_query(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/blog/cake/libs/model/datasources/dbo/dbo_mysql.php on line 154
Error: Your database does not have any tables.
I suspect that the error-messages has to do with php trying to access the wrong mysql-socket, namely the default osx mysql-socket - instead of the one that MAMP uses. Hence I change my database configurations to connect to the UNIX mysql-socket (:/Applications/MAMP/tmp/mysql/mysql.sock):
class DATABASE_CONFIG {
var $default = array(
'driver' => 'mysql',
'connect' => 'mysql_connect',
'persistent' => false,
'host' =>':/Applications/MAMP/tmp/mysql/mysql.sock', // UNIX MySQL-socket
'login' => 'my_user',
'password' => 'my_pass',
'database' => 'blog',
'prefix' => '',
);
}
But I get the same error-messages with the new socket:
Warning: mysql_connect(): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/Applications/MAMP/tmp/mysql/mysql.sock:3306' (2) in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/blog/cake/libs/model/datasources/dbo/dbo_mysql.php on line 117
Warning: mysql_select_db(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/blog/cake/libs/model/datasources/dbo/dbo_mysql.php on line 122
Warning: mysql_get_server_info(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/blog/cake/libs/model/datasources/dbo/dbo_mysql.php on line 130
Warning: mysql_query(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/blog/cake/libs/model/datasources/dbo/dbo_mysql.php on line 154
Error: Your database does not have any tables.
Also, even though I use the UNIX-socket that MAMP show on it's welcome-screen, CakePHP loses the database-connection, when using this socket instead of localhost.
Any ideas on how I can get bake to work?
-- Edit 1 --
Thank you guys for helping me out! :)
I have a problem figuring out where in my.cnf to edit to get MySQL to listen to TCP/IP request. The only paragraph I can find where TCP/IP is mentioned is the following:
# Don't listen on a TCP/IP port at all. This can be a security enhancement,
# if all processes that need to connect to mysqld run on the same host.
# All interaction with mysqld must be made via Unix sockets or named pipes.
# Note that using this option without enabling named pipes on Windows
# (via the "enable-named-pipe" option) will render mysqld useless!
#
#skip-networking
That allows me to turn off TCP/IP completely, which is the opposite of my intention. I don't know how to go about what you suggest, if you could be more elaborate it would be great. I am a total n00b on these matters :S
Reg. connecting to a local socket: I removed the leading colon in the host-parameter, same result.

From the error, it looks like it's trying to connect to an actual IP address and not a UNIX socket, look:
'/Applications/MAMP/tmp/mysql/mysql.sock:3306'
It's appending a port to the socket, which is wrong.
So, I'd first try to configure MySQL to listen to TCP/IP requests (edit the proper section in my.cnf) and try providing 127.0.0.1 instead of the socket.
To fix it at CakePHP level, change host on database.php to 'localhost' and add a port directive with its value set to the socket name '/Applications/MAMP/tmp/mysql/mysql.sock'
