Unable to use Drush in local XAMPP on Mac OS X environment

Unable to use Drush on localhost site for unknown reasons.

There really is a running site at http://localhost/scf but through the command line it must be seeing something else– it's giving back to me the HTML for a Drupal site offline, database connection error page.

./sites/all/modules/drush/drush.php -r /sites/scf/ -l http://localhost/scf/ pm install taxonomy_enhancer

I don't get clearer than that...

same problem, now fixed.

I had the same problem and found this post. A little more digging revealed that the cli php in the path is the OS X installed one. Not the MAMP/DAMP one.

Then later I found this post that laid it out - http://raincitystudios.com/blogs-and-pods/steve-krueger/how-use-drush-locally-with-mamp

Made a little progress...

I had the same problem, but per Joe's link above, was able to make a little progress.

The trick was to add this line:
PATH=/Applications/xampp/xamppfiles/bin:$PATH
to the file ~/.profile, and then open a new window.

This has Drush using the correct PHP and MySQL connection, BUT, now I get this cryptic error whenever I turn XAMPP PHP and MySQL servers on:

$ drush info
No information available.                                                [error]
An error occurred at function : drush_pm_info                 [error]
$

If anyone else makes progress, I'd love to hear about it. Drush looks cool.

(BTW, the Captcha is messed up. Had to enter about 10 of them so far...)
