Environment:
Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard
PHP 5.3
Kohana 3.0.4
When I try to configure and use a connection to a postgresql database on localhost I get the following error:
ErrorException [ Warning ]: mysql_connect(): [2002] No such file or directory (trying to connect via unix:///var/mysql/mysql.sock)
Here is the configuration of the database in /modules/database/config/database.php (note the third instance named 'pgsqltest')
return array
(
'default' => array
(
'type' => 'mysql',
'connection' => array(
/**
* The following options are available for MySQL:
*
* string hostname
* string username
* string password
* boolean persistent
* string database
*
* Ports and sockets may be appended to the hostname.
*/
'hostname' => 'localhost',
'username' => FALSE,
'password' => FALSE,
'persistent' => FALSE,
'database' => 'kohana',
),
'table_prefix' => '',
'charset' => 'utf8',
'caching' => FALSE,
'profiling' => TRUE,
),
'alternate' => array(
'type' => 'pdo',
'connection' => array(
/**
* The following options are available for PDO:
*
* string dsn
* string username
* string password
* boolean persistent
* string identifier
*/
'dsn' => 'mysql:host=localhost;dbname=kohana',
'username' => 'root',
'password' => 'r00tdb',
'persistent' => FALSE,
),
'table_prefix' => '',
'charset' => 'utf8',
'caching' => FALSE,
'profiling' => TRUE,
),
'pgsqltest' => array(
'type' => 'pdo',
'connection' => array(
/**
* The following options are available for PDO:
*
* string dsn
* string username
* string password
* boolean persistent
* string identifier
*/
'dsn' => 'mysql:host=localhost;dbname=pgsqltest',
'username' => 'postgres',
'password' => 'dev1234',
'persistent' => FALSE,
),
'table_prefix' => '',
'charset' => 'utf8',
'caching' => FALSE,
'profiling' => TRUE,
),
);
And here is the code to create the database instance, create a query and execute the query:
$pgsqltest_db = Database::instance('pgsqltest');
$query = DB::query(Database::SELECT, 'SELECT * FROM test')->execute();
I'm continuing to research a solution for this error but thought I'd ask to see if someone else has already found a solution. Any ideas are welcome.
One other note is that I know my build of PHP can access this postgresql db since I'm able to manage the db using phpPgAdmin. But I have yet to determine what phpPgAdmin is doing differently to connect to the db than what Kohana 3 is attempting.
