Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)

Submitted by millertech on Thu, 18/04/2013 - 17:18

I am having trouble with the raspberry pi pre-built image and the new emoncms v5. I was able to flash my SD card with the new build and it was working but now i get this error message when trying to connect to the mysql server with 

mysql -u root -p

ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)

I downloaded the emoncmspiv5avr.img on 4-17-13

I also get to this error message when i visit the webserver.

The only thing I changed was I created a static IP address in the interfaces file. Would this throw off the mysql server?

Thanks,

Found the problem. I was not able to ping localhost on the machine. I traced that to a problem with how I setup the static IP.

All is well.
