seems that your my.cnf is pointing to a location where mysql.sock does not exitst you can either 1. locate mysql.sock and move it to /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock, be sure to set its ownership and permissions to mysql 2. locate mysql.sock and update your my.cnf with the correct path to mysql.sock Regards On Mon, Nov 9, 2009 at 1:01 PM, Ukang'a Dickson <ukanga@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi,
Are you trying to connect using an IP address or localhost? Try with the IP address if using localhost.
for localhost -> 127.0.0.1 should work
