Database connection "Mysql" is missing while baking with CakePHP

Question

I am baking Models in CakePHP through baking command

 ./cake bake model all

I have configure database.php correctly.

    public $default = array(
    'datasource' => 'Database/Mysql',
    'persistent' => false,
    'host' => 'localhost',
    'login' => 'root',
    'password' => '',
    'database' => 'mydb',
    'prefix' => '',
    //'encoding' => 'utf8',
);

I am getting this error while baking Models

#0 /opt/lampp/htdocs/febrics/lib/Cake/Model/Datasource/DboSource.php(262): Mysql->connect()
#1 /opt/lampp/htdocs/febrics/lib/Cake/Model/ConnectionManager.php(107): DboSource->__construct(Array)

Please let me know where I am wrong.

Answer 1

Change localhost to 127.0.0.1

For some reason when using localhost it doesn't work via the command line while baking.

Answer 2

We normally run into this problem when we are switching the configurations based on the HOST in the database.php file.

Are you trying to switch the database anywhere? Note that $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] is not available from command-line.
