If yopu are using xampp rather than mamp (or the Apple webserver), the only required change is

export PATH=/Applications/xampp/xamppfiles/bin:$PATH

If you place that line in your .profile, you will always call php scripts (like cake) using the xampp php installation instead of the Apple one.

Hi all,

the problem is that cake uses php as command interpreter, therefore if you call “php” from the console you will use the default /bin/php
Because I have MAMP, the solution was to set the path to use the php interpreter provided:
you just have to “reverse” the path order:
export PATH=/Applications/MAMP/bin/php5/bin:$PATH

Hi.

Another (better) solution (assuming you are in scripts directory of a Cake):

* for php5
$ ../../../../bin/php5/bin/php bake.php

* for php4
../../../../bin/php4/bin/php bake.php

Works perfectly.

A temporary dirty fix for MAMP and the latest SVN build:

sudo ln -s /Applications/MAMP/tmp/mysql/mysql.sock /var/mysql/mysql.sock

Hi Junior Baker,

Thanks for giving the fix for others that use the MAMP install….
The fix I provided was only for the stand-alone MySQL installations.

Tried that, but it didn’t remove the issue for me
I’m using 1.2.0.5146alpha version with MAMP. CakePHP is able to connect to the database otherwise.

I have edited the /etc/my.cnf file as follows:

[mysqld]
socket=/Applications/MAMP/tmp/mysql/mysql.sock

That solved the baking issues with the stable version of cake. Can’t figure out what the problem is with 1.2. though…
