cPanel

Hi,

Would anyone know how to fix this error?

Error while connecting to MySQL: Cpanel::DBI::Mysql connect('','root',...) failed: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2) at /usr/local/cpanel/Cpanel/Mysql.pm line 140 Error while connecting to MySQL: Cpanel::DBI::Mysql connect('','root',...) failed: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2) at /usr/local/cpanel/Cpanel/Mysql.pm line 140 ...caught

Looks like it may be related to a recent cPanel update. Check this thread: http://forums.cpanel.net/f42/case-105565-recreate-tmp-mysql-sock-mysql-restart-414571.html#post1673292

I've googled the error line, it looks like a recent error caused by a cPanel update.  Like you've found, it does look like lots of people have been affected.

Have you tried the fix in that thread?

I've no idea where to start to fix this.

It's it's like trying to learn braille for the first time, I don't have much confidence in attempting this fix myself.

If you'd like, I can take a look. I'll need you to PM me your server's root login to check.
