Troubleshooting “No such file or directory” when running `php app/console doctrine:schema:create`

Question

I am new to Symfony2 (beta4) and Doctrine and am having issues when i try to create the DB schema via command line.

Here\'s the error:

$ php app/cons         


        

Answer 1

Had the same issue "SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] No such file or directory" on symfony 3.2.9 on deployment

I fixed it by changing the database_host value from "localhost" to my server IP on my parameters.yml file

but I had this another error message when trying to run commandline by SSH:

[Doctrine\DBAL\Exception\ConnectionException] An exception occured in driver: SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] Connection refused

I finaly fix it by adding these 2 lines on my config.yml file in Doctrine configuration section :

unix_socket: /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
server_version: '5.5'

all my final doctrine configuration is like this:

doctrine:
    dbal:
        driver: pdo_mysql
        host: '%database_host%'
        port: '%database_port%'
        dbname: '%database_name%'
        user: '%database_user%'
        password: '%database_password%'
        unix_socket: /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
        server_version: '5.5'
        charset: UTF8

hopefully this helps
