Why do I get error message: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' on shell?
If you get this error message when trying to use mysql command line utility from shell:
"Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' "
It means you need to access the mysql using -h 127.0.0.1 - for example:
mysql -h 127.0.0.1 -u yourdbuser -p yourdatabase
If you get this error message from a web script, please check with support for the status of the mysql server.
