Database connection "Mysql" is missing, or could not be created

I'm developing CakePHP based application, on WAMP.

For some reason I cannot run cake bake anymore.

After I run command:

c:\Program Files\wamp\www\my-application>"c:\Program Files\wamp\www\cakephp-246 0\app\Console\cake.bat" bake

... I'm getting following error:

Welcome to CakePHP v2.4.6 Console
---------------------------------------------------------------
App : my-application
Path: c:\Program Files\wamp\www\my-application\
---------------------------------------------------------------

It worked before. I think that problem started after PHP was upgraded.

I followed lot's of instructions like:

CakePHP Bake Shell Error: Database connection “Mysql” is missing, or could not be created

CakePHP Database connection "Mysql" is missing, or could not be created

CakePHP bake Error: Database connection "Mysql" is missing, or could not be created

... etc, but did not solved my problem.

I have to mention that my CakePHP application WORKS, and that only problem I have is that I cannot run any of cake bake options.

go to c:\Program Files\wamp\www\my-application\app and then run cake bake – Fury
But I do not have app directory... – user198003
ok. where ever you app is located you need to go to path and app directory (../app). and then run cake bake. e.g. app>cake bake – Fury
Run Console/cake -app c:\path\to\your\app\directory bake. – bancer
@bancer still the same :-( – user198003

You probably need to add a path to the mysql socket file

In app/Config/Database.php add the unix_socket parameter

'unix_socket' => '/path/to/sql/socket'

This is something I also experienced on my windows server OS and fixed by a simple step given below.

  1. open active php.ini and enable extension=php_openssl.dll by un-commenting that line.

  2. restart the IIS/ web server

It should work now.

An additional step:

  1. backup the content of the TMP folder and then delete files from within the folders from TMP folder.
