[SOLVED] Unable to open PDO connection [wrapped: SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] No such file or directory]

I am migrating the existing symfony propel project I am working with from Ubuntu Linux to Mac OSX Lion. I have independent install of mysql. And I couldn’t get past this error.

Unable to open PDO connection [wrapped: SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] No such file or directory]

Following steps solved my problem

On Terminal, execute these commands

1. sudo mkdir /var/mysql/
2. sudo ln -s /private/tmp/mysql.sock /var/mysql/mysql.sock

This should solve that error!. Actually it creates a symbolic link to /private/tmp/mysql.sock on /var/mysql/mysql.sock which the symfony/propel looks for.
