Topic : Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket

Posted By: Papershosting on November 29, 2021, 6:16 am

Hello, today I visited my virtualizor site and got a lovely message

Code
Error!: SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/usr/local/emps/var/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)

What troubleshooting steps should i take to resolve this issue?

check if mysql is running at all:

Code
systemctl status mysql

if mysql is running, check your my.cnf config file if you have the following line in the [mysqld] section:

socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock

If not, add this line and restart mysql
