PDOException SQLSTATE HY000 2002 No such file or directory

Question

I believe that I ve successfully deployed my  very basic  site to fortrabbit  but as soon as I connect to SSH to run some commands  such as php artisan migrate or php artisan db seed  I get an error message    PDOException  SQLSTATE HY000   2002  No such file or directory   At some point the migration must have worked  because my tables are there - but this doesn t explain why it isn t working for me now

When using a VirtualMachine make sure you ssh into that machine and navigate to your App folder and call the php artisan migrate command from there

I had similar problems accessing my Drupal website  I fixed it by opening the command line  and restarting my MySQL server or service   service mysqld restart   This should work  If it doesn t  restart your local webserver   service httpd restart   That should be enough  Hope it works for other environments  too  Note that these commands generally require superuser privileges

I got the same problem and I m running Mac OS X 10 10 Yosemite  I have enabled the Apache Server and PHP that already comes with the OS  Then I just configured the mCrypt library to get started  After that when I was working with models and DB I got the error    PDOException  SQLSTATE HY000   2002  No such file or directory   The reason I found is just because PHP and MySQL can t get connected themselves  To get this problem fixed  I follow the next steps    Open a terminal and connect to the mysql with   mysql -u root -p  It will ask you for the related password  Then once you get the mysql promt type the next command   mysql gt  show variables like   sock    You will get something like this    ----------------------------------------- -----------------    Variable name                             Value              ----------------------------------------- -----------------    performance schema max socket classes     10                  performance schema max socket instances   322                 socket                                     tmp mysql sock    ----------------------------------------- -----------------   Keep the value of the last row    tmp mysql sock  In your laravel project folder  look for the database php file there is where you configure the DB connection parameters  In the mysql section add the next line at the end    unix socket    gt    tmp mysql sock   You must have something like this    mysql    gt  array           driver       gt   mysql            host         gt   localhost            database     gt   SchoolBoard            username     gt   root            password     gt   venturaa            charset      gt   utf8            collation    gt   utf8 unicode ci            prefix       gt               unix socket    gt    tmp mysql sock             Now just save changes  and reload the page and it must work

This is because PDO treats  localhost  host specially      Note  Unix only  When the host name is set to  localhost   then the   connection to the server is made thru a domain socket  If PDO MYSQL is   compiled against libmysqlclient then the location of the socket file   is at libmysqlclient s compiled in location  If PDO MYSQL is compiled   against mysqlnd a default socket can be set thru the   pdo mysql default socket setting     from http   php net manual en ref pdo-mysql connection php   Changing localhost to 127 0 0 1 will  force  the use of TCP   Note  mysqli connect is working fine with localhost

This happened to me because MySQL wasn t running  MySQL was failing to start because I had a missing  usr local etc my cnf d  directory   This was being required by my  usr local etc my cnf config file as a glob include  include  usr local etc my cnf d   cnf    Running mkdir  usr local etc my cnf d  and then starting MySQL  fixed the issue

User · Answer

The error message indicates that a MySQL connection via socket is tried  which is not supported    In the context of Laravel  artisan   you probably want to use a different   the correct environment  Eg  php artisan migrate --env production  or whatever environment   See here

Step 1 Find the path to your unix socket  to do that just run  netstat -ln   grep mysql You should get something like this unix  2        ACC       STREAM     LISTENING     17397     var run mysqld mysqld sock  Step 2 Take that and add it in your unix socket param  mysql    gt  array               driver       gt   mysql                host         gt   67 25 71 187                database     gt   dbname                username     gt   username                password     gt                      charset      gt   utf8                collation    gt   utf8 unicode ci                prefix       gt                   unix socket       gt    var run mysqld mysqld sock   lt -----                            Hope it helps

Laravel 4  Change  quot host quot  in the app config database php file from  quot localhost quot  to  quot 127 0 0 1 quot  Laravel 5   Change  quot DB HOST quot  in the  env file from  quot localhost quot  to  quot 127 0 0 1 quot   I had the exact same problem  None of the above solutions worked for me  I solved the problem by changing the  quot host quot  in the  app config database php file from  quot localhost quot  to  quot 127 0 0 1 quot   Not sure why  quot localhost quot  doesn t work by default but I found this answer in a similar question solved in a symfony2 post  https   stackoverflow com a 9251924 1231563 Update  Some people have asked as to why this fix works so I have done a little bit of research into the topic  It seems as though they use different connection types as explained in this post https   stackoverflow com a 9715164 1231563 The issue that arose here is that  quot localhost quot  uses a UNIX socket and can not find the database in the standard directory  However  quot 127 0 0 1 quot  uses TCP  Transmission Control Protocol   which essentially means it runs through the  quot local internet quot  on your computer being much more reliable than the UNIX socket in this case

My answer is specific to Laravel    I had this message after creating a new connection in the database php configuration file to a local Docker MySQL service and setting it as the default connection  I forgot that I was setting a different connection by overwriting it in the Model   class Model extends  Illuminate Database Eloquent Model       protected  connection       public function   construct array  attributes                     parent    construct  attributes            this- gt connection    some other connection               So even if my default connection in the database php file was pointing to the right credentials  the model was still using the remote database connection configuration which I had removed from the local environment file
