Hi everyone,

this is my first issue on drupal, sorry about that. I installed on my Mac OS X Server, drupal 7.20, XAMMP 1.7.3, and drush 5.8 without errors. I downloaded the views_ui module without problem but when I tried to enable it with drush en views_ui command I got the following message :

omega:d7dev admin$ drush en views_ui
Command pm-enable needs a higher bootstrap level to run - you will need to invoke drush from a more functional [error]
Drupal environment to run this command.
The drush command 'en views_ui' could not be executed. [error]
Drush was not able to start (bootstrap) the Drupal database. [error]
Hint: This may occur when Drush is trying to:
* bootstrap a site that has not been installed or does not have a configured database. In this case you can
select another site with a working database setup by specifying the URI to use with the --uri parameter on the
command line. See `drush topic docs-aliases` for details.
* connect the database through a socket. The socket file may be wrong or the php-cli may have no access to it in
a jailed shell. See http://drupal.org/node/1428638 for details.

Drush was attempting to connect to:
Drupal version : 7.20
Site URI : http://default
Database driver : mysql
Database hostname : 127.0.0.1
Database username : root
Database name : d7dev
Default theme : garland
Administration theme: garland
PHP configuration : /private/etc/php.ini /Users/admin/.drush/php.ini /Users/admin/.drush/drush.ini
Drush version : 5.8
Drush configuration:
Drupal root : /Applications/XAMPP/htdocs/d7dev
Site path : sites/default
Modules path : sites/all/modules
Themes path : sites/all/themes
File directory path: sites/default/files
%paths : Array

I removed and re-installed XAMMP and drush !
I browsed this site and internet but I did not find any working suggestion.

There is someone that can help me ?

Thanks in advance

John

Same here. (ubuntu 12.04) Drush seems to work on other commands, but chokes on pm-enable and en. I get the same error. The only difference is that when I do a drush status and drush does not provide the PHP configuration or the Drush configuration. I've cruised all over the internet and forum and find a lot of noise about the problem, but no solutions. Here's my status:

Drupal version : 7.21
Site URI : http://default
Database driver : mysql
Database hostname : localhost
Database username : test_user
Database name : test
Default theme : garland
Administration theme : garland
PHP configuration :
Drush version : 4.5
Drush configuration :
Drush alias files :
Drupal root : /opt/lampp/htdocs/test
Site path : sites/default
File directory path : sites/default/files
