Re: Cake is NOT able to connect to the database. on FEDORA 16

Also, by any chance maybe you didn't start xamp?

From the command line:

sudo /opt/lampp/lampp start

To stop it:

sudo /opt/lampp/lampp stop

Of course if you installed xamp somewhere else you'll need to navigate to the appropriate location before starting it. Mine is under /opt/lampp

Hi, i'm having lots of problems, i don't know what to do....

This is what i did : 

1.- Installed XAMP 

2.- Made a new database (called cake) with phpMyAdmin.

2.- Downloaded cakePHP 2.0

3.- Bake !

4.- Set permissions to tmp directory 

When I requested "localhost" on chrome everything went ok but "Cake is NOT able to connect to the database."

This is my database.php :

    public $coffeecake = array(
    'datasource' => 'Database/Mysql',
    'persistent' => false,
    'host' => '127.0.0.1',
    'login' => 'root',
    'password' => '',
    'database' => 'cake',
   );

(localhost does not work)

I can successfully access my DB with (shell) :"mysql -h 127.0.0.0.1 -u root" and then " USE cake;"

I also tried to modify "php.ini" to add extension=/path/pdo_mysql.so and it showed this "Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library './usr/lib64/php/modules/pdo_mysql.so' - ./usr/lib64/php/modules/pdo_mysql.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64"

Please I really need help !!!!!!!!
