PDOException: SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] No such file or directory

Question

I have put PushChatServer dir in htdocs folder and create database puschat try to run @\"http://localhost/PushChatServer/api/test/database.php\"

Then I got following

Answer 1

Quick test (run in shell):

php -r "new PDO('mysql:hostname=localhost;dbname=test', 'username', 'password');"

SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] No such file or directory means php cannot find the mysql.default_socket file. Fix it by modifying php.ini file. On Mac it is mysql.default_socket = /tmp/mysql.sock (See PHP - MySQL connection not working: 2002 No such file or directory)

SQLSTATE[HY000] [1044] Access denied for user 'username'@'localhost' CONGRATULATION! You have the correct mysql.default_socket setting now. Fix your dbname/username/password.
