Oil r migrate error - mysql.sock
  • Hi guys, Getting the following error while trying to migrate via Oil: Error: mysql_connect(): [2002] No such file or directory (trying to connect via unix:///var/mysql/mysql.sock) in /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/anareva/fuel/core/classes/database/mysql/connection.php on 73 I'm running OSX with XAMPP serving the mysql/apache. Any ideas?
  • I had this problem as well on MAMP, just changed the hostname to 0.0.0.0 (127.0.0.1 should work as well)
  • We didn't write documentation just for fun. Googling that error shows this: http://fuelphp.com/docs/installation/troubleshooting.html
  • Try using 'localhost' as the hostname in your fuel/app/config/db.php.
  • I fixed it! Had to change localhost to 127.0.0.1.
  • On a Mac, you can not use localhost, you have to use 127.0.0.1.

Howdy, Stranger!
