How can I solve error "SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)"

Posted on November 28, 2014

I have a 512MB Digital Ocean droplet running on CentOS 6.5 and using Zpanel as my control panel. In it i have hosted 2 web apps, 1 Laravel 4 and the other WordPress and they both work fine only that from time to time i get the following errors which resolve temporarily when i reboot my VPS.

Errors:

Zpanel: Critical Error: [0100] - Unable to connect or authenticate to the ZPanel database (zpanel_core). We advice that you contact the server administator to ensure that the database server is online and that the correct connection parameter are being used.

Laravel: SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] Can’t connect to local MySQL server through socket ‘/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock’ (2)

WordPress: Error establishing a database connection

How can i permanently solve this.

Thanks in advance.
