Cakephp can not connect to Sqlserver Express 2008 R2 - php

I have this issue:
CakePHP is NOT able to connect to the database.
Database connection "Sqlserver" is missing, or could not be created.
Details of what I've had so far:
public $default = array(
'datasource' => 'Database/Sqlserver',
'persistent' => false,
'host' => 'localhost\SQLEXPRESS',
'login' => 'login',
'password' => 'pass',
'database' => 'prueba',
'prefix' => '',
'encoding' => 'utf8'
);
and in my xampp\php\php.ini I had this:
[PHP_SQLSRV]
extension=php_sqlsrv_55_ts.dll //this file exists in xampp\php\ext
[PHP_PDO_SQLSRV]
extension=php_pdo_sqlsrv_55_ts.dll //this file exists in xampp\php\ext
I am using:
XAMPP 3.2.1
SQL Server 2008 R2
PHP 5.5.19
CakePHP 2.6.3.
This works without the framework, but within the Cakephp framework it does not work. Why?

Have you tried to install Microsoft ODBC Driver for SQL Server ?
In order to get pdo_sqlsrv work you have to install Microsoft ODBC Driver

setup PostgreSQL with Laravel in MAMP

I am using MAMP on my MAC. As it comes with MySQL by default. But now I need to use PostgreSQL in one of my project. How can I setup postgreSQL in MAMP for Laravel project?
Ok if you are set on using postgreSQL over mySQL that comes with MAMP you have to manually install postgreSQL on you location machine the OSX packages can be found here,
If you don't want to do a full install i recommend this Postgres App just download an extract to your applications folder then when you launch it the port number will be displayed in the menu bar like so:
create a database:
go to menu above Click on Open psql
In the command line create you database like so: CREATE DATABASE your_database_name;
should return CREATE DATABASE
Tip to exit postgreSQL CLI use \q then ENTER
You now need to plug these settings into Laravels configuration:
open file: %laravel_directory%/app/config/database.php
in the array replace 'default' => 'mysql', with 'default' => 'pgsql',
now with the information from before edit the 'connections' array like so:
'connections' => array(
'pgsql' => array(
'driver' => 'pgsql',
'host' => 'localhost',
'database' => 'your_database_name',
'username' => '',
'password' => '',
'charset' => 'utf8',
'prefix' => '',
'schema' => 'public',
),
)
save file
You should now have a functioning database that Laravel can talk to.
Note you do not need the username or password in database config if you are using the Postgres App.

PDOException could not find driver on Zend Framework 2 + Doctrine

I'm trying to install Zend Framework 2 + Doctrine from this manual and have some problem with PDO driver. Doctrine is trying to connect to my MySQL server and then trying to create schema:
./vendor/bin/doctrine-module orm:schema-tool:create
I have this error:
[PDOException]
could not find driver
This is my config/autoload/doctrine.local.php:
return array( 'doctrine' => array(
'connection' => array(
'orm_default' => array(
'driverClass' =>'Doctrine\DBAL\Driver\PDOMySql\Driver',
'params' => array(
'driver' => 'pdo_mysql',
'host' => 'localhost',
'port' => '3306',
'user' => 'root',
'password' => 'password',
'dbname' => 'blog',
)))));
I have PHP 5.3.5 and i have uncommented ;extension=php_pdo_mysql.dll in php.ini, also it wasn't commented. But php -m | grep -i pdo gives me:
PDO
only. I'm know that it should be pdo_mysql too, but i'm trying everything and it isn't appear.
Anyway, PDO driver is works well at my another project on this server, where I'm not using Zend and Doctrine.
Ohh yes. I'm just solved a problem. I'm going to this page and thought to find my php.ini files anywhere else perhaps PHP folder - it was one more in "C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\wamp\bin\php\php5.3.5" and there row
;extension=php_pdo_mysql.dll
weren't uncomment. I'm uncommented it and it works!

CakePHP 2.x MSSQL 2008 Connect

I have CakePHP 2.x and PHP 5.4.3 on my Windows machine (Windows 8, using WAMP). I have to connect on other mssql server because I need some data from there. I already tried so many ways to connect but
error message is always the same:
Error: A Database connection using "Sqlserver" was missing or unable to connect.
The database server returned this error: Selected driver is not enabled
Error: Sqlserver driver is NOT enabled
My database.php configuration:
public $urniki = array(
'datasource' => 'Database/Sqlserver',
'persistent' => false,
'host' => 'somehost.com',
'login' => 'user',
'password' => 'pass',
'database' => 'db',
'prefix' => '',
'encoding' => 'utf8',
);
Any idea how to connect this?
Make sure you have the SQLServer driver for PHP installed and this line is in your php.ini
Extension=php_sqlsrv.dll
See this for more details: http://www.iis.net/learn/application-frameworks/install-and-configure-php-on-iis/install-the-sql-server-driver-for-php

How to connect Cakephp 1.3 with MS SQLServer 2008?

I can't connect to MSSQL Server. I've been researching for 2 days, yet I can't find any useful resources. This is the error I'm getting:
URL rewriting is not properly configured on your server.
Help me configure my database. I don't / can't use URL rewriting:
Your tmp directory is writable.
The FileEngine is being used for caching. To change the config edit APP/config/core.php
Your database configuration file is present.
Here's my database config file:
class DATABASE_CONFIG {
var $default = array(
'driver' => 'mssql',
'persistent' => false,
'host' => 'Charmae-PC\Charmae',
'login' => 'sa',
'password' => 'pass',
'database' => 'obbm',
'prefix' => '',
'port' => '',
);
}
What should I do?
You need to configure your database with cakephp[windows php driver]. I don't know which version cakephp are you using. But for any version of cakephp and wampserver windows php drivers are different. for more information
Download the sqlsrv driver from here
and then the rest of configuration.
By the way you have to use sqlsrv driver for config/database.php
var $default = array(
'driver' => 'sqlsrv',
...

CakePHP: Can't access MySQL database

I'm new to CakePHP and am just running through the configuration process, but am stumped why Cake can't access my MySQL database. The Cake info page says my tmp directory is writable, the FileEngine is being used for caching (don't know what this means), and my database configuration file is present, but that CakePHP cannot connect to the database.
Here are my setup details:
PHP 5.3 (pre-installed on Snow Leopard)
MySQL 5.1.40 64-bit
CakePHP 1.2.4.8284
Here are the steps I went through:
Created a MySQL schema called cake_blog
Created a MySQL user called cake_blog_user
Granted cake_blog_user the appropriate permissions on cake_blog#localhost and cake_blog#%
Copied the database.php.default file to database.php and edited the database connection details as appropriate
Here is the relevant configuration data from database.php:
var $default = array(
'driver' => 'mysql',
'persistent' => false,
'host' => 'localhost',
'login' => 'cake_blog_user',
'password' => 'cake_blog_password',
'database' => 'cake_blog',
'prefix' => '',
);
Am I missing something here? I should also mention that if I insert an echo mysql_error(); into the /cake/libs/view/pages/home.ctp file right before it tests the database connection, the error displayed is "No such file or directory." I have no idea what file or directory it's talking about.
Thanks!
What usually bites me in it's that MySQL thinks of 'localhost' as 'connect thru the unix socket' and '127.0.0.1' 'connect thru TCP port'. With things like XAMPP (at least on mac) the unix socket file isn't there. Just use 127.0.0.1 instead.
var $default = array(
'driver' => 'mysql',
'persistent' => false,
'host' => '127.0.0.1',
'login' => 'cake_blog_user',
'password' => 'cake_blog_password',
'database' => 'cake_blog',
'prefix' => '',
);
Should work all the time.
If it is the socket, just edit /etc/php.ini to reflect the following
pdo_mysql.default_socket=/tmp/mysql.sock
and
mysql.default_socket = /tmp/mysql.sock
I believe you can also do the following
<?php
public $default = array(
'driver' => 'mysql',
'persistent' => false,
'host' => 'localhost',
'login' => 'cake_blog_user',
'password' => 'cake_blog_password',
'database' => 'cake_blog',
'prefix' => '',
'port' => '/tmp/mysql.sock',
)
?>
doing this might mean you need to edit the database.php file when you go live on the production server.
Thanks everyone for pointing me in the right direction. The mysql.sock file has been moved to /tmp/mysql.sock instead of its default location at /var/mysql/mysql.sock. Editing the php.ini file to reflect this has fixed the problem.
check your phpinfo and use the socket listed. that worked for me.
On Ubuntu, if you installed both 7.0 and 5.6 versions of PHP this wont work.
Youll need to switch if you have both versions:
Look first if is 7.0 version: the command is php -v.
Next do
sudo a2dismod php7.0
sudo a2enmod php5.6
sudo service apache2 restart
