I'm using Kohana 2. I would like to catch a database exception to prevent an error page when no connection to the server can be established.
The error displayed is
system/libraries/drivers/Database/Mysql.php [61]:
mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Lost connection to MySQL server at
'reading initial communication packet', system error: 110
The database server is not reachable at all at this point.
I'm doing this from a model. I tried both
public function __construct()
{
// load database library into $this->db
try
{
parent::__construct();
}
catch (Exception $e)
{
die('Database error occured');
}
}
as well as
try
{
$hoststatus = $this->db->query('SELECT x FROM y WHERE z;');
}
catch (Exception $e)
{
die('Database error occured');
}
...but none of them seemed to work. It seems as if no exception gets passed on from the main model. Is there another way to catch the database error and use my own error handling?
