Public bug reported: typing 'mysql -u root -p' in ubutu 11.04 terminal, I end up with the following error ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)
When i read to solve that on the Internet, it informs me to re-install it. Here is what I have done so far. sudo apt-get remove mysql-server libapache2-mod-auth-mysql php5-mysql sudo apt-get autoremove sudo apt-get install mysql-server libapache2-mod-auth-mysql php5-mysql At the end, I get the following error! che2-mod-auth-mysql php5-mysql Reading package lists...
