CakePHP Bake Shell Error: Database connection “Mys

Question

I have an issue here with baking.
I've read the previous answers to similar questions, but the solutions seem to not apply here.

I can't bake because the error I receive is: Database connection “Mysql” is missing, or could not be created

If I run which php the PHP it's reading is the correct path within MAMP.

If I check the PDO modules:

php -i | grep "PDO"
PDO
PDO support => enabled
PDO drivers => sqlite, pgsql, mysql
PDO Driver for MySQL => enabled
PDO Driver for PostgreSQL => enabled
PDO Driver for SQLite 3.x => enabled

My application (or what I've completed on it so far) has no trouble connecting to the database.

All answers around the web point to PDO not being enabled, or the incorrect path for PHP, but neither of those apply in my case.

Answer 1

I'm facing the same problem, checked PDO support the same way, same result.

The following script (that I wrote) might help to make sure our settings are ok:

<?php
include("../new-project/app/Config/database.php");
$config= new DATABASE_CONFIG();

$name = 'default';

$settings=$config->{$name};
$dsn = 'mysql:dbname='.$settings['database'].';host='.$settings['host'];
$user = $settings['login'];
$password = $settings['password'];

try {
    $dbh = new PDO($dsn, $user, $password);
    echo "Connection succeeded with dsn: ". $dsn . "\n";
    $sql = 'SELECT id, title FROM posts';
    echo "Here is the contents of the table `posts:";
    foreach ($dbh->query($sql) as $row) {
        print $row['id'] . "\t" . $row['title'] . "\n";
    }
} catch (PDOException $e) {
    echo 'PDO error: ' . $e->getMessage();
}

?>

And it works fine :

mich@dennet:~/www/learn/cakePHP/tools$ php test-pdo.php
Connection succeeded with dsn: mysql:dbname=test;host=localhost
Here is the contents of the table `posts:1  The title
3   Title strikes back
4   Once again is back

FYI, here are version details :

mich@dennet:~/www/learn/cakePHP/tools$ php --version

Would it be a problem with paths ? Here's my bake interaction:

mich@dennet:~/www/learn/cakePHP/new-project$ /usr/local/bin/cake -app  /home/mich/www/learn/cakePHP/new-project/app bake

I also tried :

mich@dennet:/usr/local/share/cakePHP/cakephp$ app/Console/cake bake

with no more success.

Now I suspect the Datasource itself ...
