Question

I have been working on the introduction on the link below and have been able to complete previous steps but when it comes to running the generate.php file I get an error about the dsn. Is there missing steps that was ommited about changing the dsn?

Fatal Error with Doctrine while using generate.php

I saw a similar issue (link above) with the generate.php file here but the solution offered and error are slight different and don’t work in my case. Changing the dsn string to
$conn = Doctrine_Manager::connection(‘mysql://sonint99:C2sHF9Zxq3ULXCTV@127.0.0.1/doctrine’); does not work either. I get this error now.

Answer 1

The Docs are rather strange because they mention PDO for the ::connection() method. This method is not even used in the tutorials on the site 😉

A proper call with the connection could be like

$db['dsn'] = "mysql://user:password@localhost/database"; //use localhost instead of 127.0.0.1
$conn = Doctrine_Manager::connection($db['dsn'], 'con_name');
