Can anybody help me with this, all of a sudden I am getting this error

Welcome to phpMyAdmin 2.3.0

Error

MySQL said:

Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)

WTF? I haven't changed any setting or done anything it just stopped working. This is pissing me off I am spending more time trying to get the damn thing running than actually working on the **** I am supposed to.

Are you sure it didn't happen since 10.2.4? That error usually indicates bad permissions so give those a check if you haven't.

make sure the mysql daemon is running.

can you connect throught the mysql client (in the terminal?)

can you connect from a php script?

If you're going to have to be using mysql a lot, and admining your own system, I suggest picking up a book on it. Then when you have problems, you won't have to stress about it, you can just troubleshoot it and fix it.
