Hi,
i tried to finish the "creating your first yii application" from the PDF guide that comes with the installation, but i wanted to use MySQL since i do not have SQLite.
So i added the following to my config file:
'db'=>array(
'class'=>'CDbConnection',
'connectionString'=>'mysql:host=localhost;dbname=yiitest',
'username'=>'****',
'password'=>'****'
),
Then i followed the steps, starting the shell and typed "model User" to create the Model, and the following error appeared and i have no idea how to solve the problem.
Warning: PDO::__construct(): [2002] No such file or directory (trying to connect via unix:///tmp/mysql.sock) in /Users/as/Sites/yii/framework/db/CDbConnection.php on line 290
