Im getting the following problem and it has happened all of a sudden.
I get:
Code: Select all
Tcl error [allianceorder]: Failed to connect to database: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)
I also get:
Code: Select all
Tcl error [allianceorder]: Failed to connect to database: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/usr/local/lib/mysql.sock' (2)
I have run 'locate mysql.sock' in shell and it has come back with the following locations.
Code: Select all
root [~]# locate mysql.sock
/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
/usr/local/lib/mysql.sock
As you can see it doesnt connect through either mysql.sock file. Any ideas?

Use a hostname rather than the unix socket, which may not exist.

make sure you set the user access correctly in mysql. like user@localhost. I've had a couple of problems like that before, I did that and it worked just perfect

maybe the box your trying to connect to has blocked your ip? I dont know, this has happened to me once before.
