Answer 1

For Drupal Users -

This happens generally because of max_execution time for communicating server to mysql. Increase max execution time from 60 sec to upper limit you want and try refresh the page again.

It worked for me.

Answer 2

didn't you say your mysql port is 3306:

$db = new PDO("mysql:host=".DBHOST.";port=8889
//------------------------------------------^

this might help:

$db = new PDO("mysql:host=".DBHOST.";port=3306

Sasi, if your running this on a local server it may be your setup for windows the local server need to be configured to send email on.

Here you can find how to configure XAMPP to send mail from localhost.

Sorry that i answer you here, but i don't have enough reputation to make comments :D

Answer 4

$db = new PDO("mysql:host=".DBHOST.";port=3306;dbname=".DBNAME, DBUSER, DBPASS);

you should change the port number to default: 3306! hope this helps

Answer 5

I suffered this error too. I did following things: 1. find out the port number used by mysql. In phpmyadmin, I ran the following sql:

show variables;

it shows a list of variables of mysql. scroll down, you will find port number.

2. I edited the php code like this:

$dsn = 'mysql:host=127.0.0.1;port=3307; dbname=learnphpfast';

it worked like a charm!

Answer 6

This error usually occurs when some other app like skype and IIS are using ports of Apache i.e. 80 and mysql server i.e. 3306

You can eighter uninstall these apps or change port numbers of the localhost to something else and make correct changes in settings.php
