Configuring Drush on OS X Lion and MAMP 2.0

Submitted by benjy on Sunday, March 25, 2012 - 13:09.

Today I finally decided to install Drush on my MacBook Air and everything was going great using pear to install Drush until I ran into the error: No such file or directory (trying to connect via unix:///var/mysql/mysql.sock)    [warning] environment.inc:518

Luckily it's an easy fix. Simply create a symbolic link in /var/mysql to /Applications/MAMP/tmp/mysql/mysql.sock with the following code.

sudo mkdir /var/mysql
sudo ln -s /Applications/MAMP/tmp/mysql/mysql.sock /var/mysql/mysql.sock

And your done.

great! worked for me
thank you

Thanks for the post. This solved the issue where drush wouldn't find my site when I was running 'drush update' 'drush cc'. With 'drush cc' I was only seeing 2 options vs. 8.
