CakePHP 3: Moved datadir/socket for mysql, now getting SQLSTATE error

Question

I recently moved my mysql database onto a larger partition. To do this I updated the my.cnf file and updated the datadir and socket values then added the following.

[client]
socket=/same/as/socket/path

And then restarted the mysql server.

I'm able to access my database manually, and none of my schema nor credentials have changed. I'm using CakePHP 3 and when I attempt to access the main page I get:

Error:SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] No such file or directory

In my config file, I've tried setting quoteIdentifiers => true but it has no impact.

Answer 1

I ended up needing to edit my php.ini with the new location of the mysql socket. I'm using php-fpm, and had to restart that once the php.ini was updated.
