Google AppEngine PHP Failed to connect to MySQL












0














I have a PHP app running on Google Cloud AppEngine.
Somehow the PHP is throwing this error:



"Failed to connect to MySQL: Unable to find the socket transport "unix" - did you forget to enable it when you configured PHP?"



Here is my code:



config.php



<?php
define('DB_USERNAME', 'my_username');
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'my_password');
define('DB_HOST', ':/cloudsql/<my instance name>');
define('DB_NAME', 'my_db_name');
?>


DbConnect.php



<?php
class DbConnect
{
private $conn;
function __construct()
{
}
function connect()
{
require_once 'config.php';
// Connecting to mysql database
$this->conn = new mysqli(null, DB_USERNAME, DB_PASSWORD, DB_NAME, 0, DB_HOST);
// Check for database connection error
if (mysqli_connect_errno()) {
echo "Failed to connect to MySQL: " . mysqli_connect_error();
}
// returing connection resource
return $this->conn;
}
}


When I run my php that uses this connect file, the above error gets thrown.



Does anyone know what might I be doing wrong here?



Thanks
