<< Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (111) >> is error message I have got when with my browser I try to access to phpmyadmin to manage my db mysql.
Problem started when, cause error, /var/lib/mysql/mysql folder was deleted.
Without that folder, mysqld works correctly, scripts connect correctly to db, they query it, and so on, but phpmyadmin doesn't work (I cannot browser inside databases).
I tried to copy that folder from another mysql installation (same version), but now mysqld doesn't start anymore and phpmyadmin homepage shows me that error message.
Any idea?
Thanks a lot.
