Asked by davezaghadon
I installed mysql server yesterday on my droplet, it worked properly yesterday but today I tried logging into the mysql $ mysql -u root -p and it throws an error (ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can’t connect to local MySQL server through socket ‘/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock’ (2) ).

thanks.
