Question

I just created a new project with CakePHP according to the main page you get after configuring everything i’m all in the green even database connection.

i run this command:

octavius@octavius-VirtualBox:/opt/lampp/htdocs/acltutorial/cake/console$ ./cake bake all

and this happens:

Welcome to CakePHP v1.3.7 Console
---------------------------------------------------------------
App : app
Path: /opt/lampp/htdocs/acltutorial/app
---------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------
Bake All
---------------------------------------------------------------
Use Database Config: (default/test) 
[default] > 
PHP Fatal error:  Call to undefined function mysql_query() in /opt/lampp/htdocs/acltutorial/cake/libs/model/datasources/dbo/dbo_mysql.php on line 600

Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysql_query() in /opt/lampp/htdocs/acltutorial/cake/libs/model/datasources/dbo/dbo_mysql.php on line 600

I went into my php.ini file and added extension = ‘mysql.so’ and it still doesn’t work. Anybody have any ideas?

PS: Doing table by table yields the same error

EDIT: After doing what dogmatic69 suggested i got these warnings:

    Your database does not have any tables.

Still doesn’t work.

Answer 1

This wasn’t a cake error, apparently I had to specify the port in the database.php file like so:

'port' => '/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/var/mysql/mysql.sock'

it couldn’t connect to the database for baking, though it worked for the app itself, this fixed it.
