Fatal error: Uncaught exception

[MBarisonek]

When I typed in php shell/imc.php I got this error:

Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'PDOException' with message 'SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] No such file or directory' in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/magento/lib/Zend/Db/Adapter/Pdo/Abstract.php:129

Any ideas on what's going on?

I get the same error. Anyone has idea how to solve? Tks

[amacgregor]

Interesting can you let me know which version of MAMP, PHP are you trying to use ? I will try to replicate on my end

[franciscoprado]

In my case, I use LAMP. I've already tried on Windows, using XAMPP, but the problem is the same.

[amacgregor]

Francisco,

Can you let me know the specific version of php and XAMPP you are using also, imc won't work on windows do to unsupported libraries

[franciscoprado]

PHP Version 5.5.9
XAMPP for Linux 1.8.3-3

The output on my terminal:

francisco@francisco:/opt/lampp/htdocs/magento$ php shell/imc.php
PHP Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Zend_Db_Adapter_Exception' with message 'pdo_mysql extension is not installed' in /opt/lampp/htdocs/magento/lib/Varien/Db/Adapter/Pdo/Mysql.php:309

It says there is no "pdo_mysql" extension installed, but it is installed (at least checking via phpinfo here).

@amacgregor @franciscoprado forgive me if I am wrong, but are you using Vagrant? If so, the PDO Exception is thrown due to a failure to connect to the database. And this makes sense because your database does not live on host, rather, it lives in your VM. If this is the case, try vagrant ssh into your box. Then, cd /vagrant/ and run your php script from wherever it lives in your project root.

@KLVTZ I'm having the same error and i'm not using Vagrant.
@franciscoprado @amacgregor @MBarisonek, Did someone found the solution?

I'm working on the second edition of the book and I'm having the same problem. I'm using AMPPS 3.6 on Windows 10.

I was able to solve this issue by following the advice as described on: http://devdocs.magento.com/guides/v2.0/install-gde/trouble/php/tshoot_phpini.html

This is commonly caused by a different instance of PHP being used by the PHP command line compared to the web server. In particular, mysql.sock might be misconfigured if this is the case.

To determine whether or not you’re using one instance of PHP:

Log in to your Magento server.

Enter the following command:

php -i | grep 'php.ini'

This determines the settings used by the PHP command-line interface (CLI). Note where php.ini is located.
If you haven’t already done so, set up a phpinfo.php on your web server.
Compare the value of Loaded Configuration File from phpinfo.php with the one from php -i.
phpinfo.php shows the php.ini file used by your web server. If it’s different from what’s in PHP’s php.ini, you must make all PHP settings consistent for both the PHP CLI and the web server.
