Command needs a higher bootstrap level to run <p>I looked allover to a resolution to this but i'm just not finding it. I am trying to use drush on my MAMP platform (I have Leopard). Installation seems to have gone well, but i get errors when i try to use it. </p> <p>My default shell is tcsh. I made a file .bash_profile and added the line "export PATH="/Applications/MAMP/Library/bin:/Applications/MAMP/bin/php5.3/bin:$PATH" to it. then I changed to the bash shell and sent command: drush en views_ui. (I get the same error from the tcsh shell)</p> <p>I am at the root of the site. </p> <p>sorry if this is a repeat question. please help...</p> <hr> <pre><code>bash-3.2$ drush en views_ui Command pm-enable needs a higher bootstrap level to run - you will need to invoke drush from a more functional Drupal environment to [error] 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 : 7.0 Site URI : http://default Database driver : mysql Database hostname : localhost Database username : root Database name : d7dev Default theme : garland Administration theme: garland PHP configuration : /private/etc/php.ini Drush version : 5.8 Drush configuration: Drupal root : /Applications/mamp/htdocs/d7dev Site path : sites/default Modules path : sites/all/modules Themes path : sites/all/themes File directory path: sites/default/files %paths : Array </code></pre>
