Another solution to this issue is to specify the port explicitly within the cakephp config/database.php file:

class DATABASE_CONFIG {
var $default = array(
‘driver’ => ‘mysql’,
… cut …
‘port’ => ‘/Applications/MAMP/tmp/mysql/mysql.sock’,
};
}

I’m running CakePHP 1.3.3, MAMP 1.9.1, and Snow Leopard 10.6.4, and my CakePHP Console was looking for the MySQL socket in:

/var/mysql/mysql.sock

After I created a symbolic link to my MAMP MySQL socket there, it worked fine.
