I received the following error:
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can’t connect to local MySQL server through socket ‘/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock’ (111)
So after restarting the server and trying to figure out what was going on I tried reinstalling mysql with this: apt-get install mysql-server
Then I restarted apache and still keep getting the same error message.
What could be causing this? Can anyone point me in the right direction to trouble shoot this issue?
Thanks!
