mysql Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket ...

[burnhh]

hi,

does anybody know what exact problem mysql has when dieing by "mysql Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock'"

i encountered this problem when working on a huge xml file (~8megs) and it totally stunned my mysql server. myadmin throws the same error message now (#2002 - Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock')

any ideas? maybe it's just an adjustment to the my.ini ...

thx for any answers,

Bjoern

Have you verified that your MySQL server is actually running?

jepp, the server was running but we have meanwhile figured out that it was a directory system error. we ran a check and now it's working fine
