An uncaught Exception was encountered

try

PHP Code:

'hostname' => '/Applications/MAMP/tmp/mysql/mysql.sock', 


That did the trick! I tried something very close to that and it didn't work. I put localhost:/Applications/MAMP/tmp/mysql/mysql.sock in there and no dice. I guess, I can mark this solved now.
I knew it had to be something small like that. That's why I got stuck on it.

Thanks again for the help.
