Is it running?
I think you didn’t started your database server, start it using
If you are getting a failure message while starting, check the log file (/var/log/syslog), if you found socket connection error message there, then
check for correct socket file location
#find / -type s
, if you found a mysqld.sock file under /var/run/mysqld/ directory, check whether any instances of mysqld running or not#netstat -anpt | grep 3306 or #ps aux | grep mysqld
if you found any running process stop it (#kill -9 pid) and remove the socket file. Then try to restart it and if mysql not creating socket file then try start it likeAlso check your my.cnf file (/etc/mysql/my.cnf) and comment the bind-address field, and if you found any skip-network field comment it.
