Perch could not connect to the database, local machine

Hi Rachel,

I tried that and it failed. I have the following file structure for local development:

/Users/<username>/Sites/Site1
/Users/<username>/Sites/Site2
/Users/<username>/Sites/Site3

These are connecting to the perch database perfectly however all the links, css, js links aren't working as they're all relative etc. So I created a virtual host for each of the sites:

site1.local
site2.local
site3.local

When I load in browser all the links and references to css, js files work but perch can't connect to the database?

Running the perchtest with url localhost/site1/perchtest does work but running with the same credentials using url site1.local/perchtest doesn't? And the message below is displayed:

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

Same files, same location, same db credentials?

I've got Perch installed but when creating new pages links are pointing to the localhost root directory and not the virtual server. For example:

https://localhost/about.php

instead of

https://site1.local/technical-advice

I'm basically trying to achieve the same setup you use in your demos.
