Could not create a mySQL connection

[teamz]

I had this error:

Could not create a mySQL connection, please check the SQL values entered

MySQL error was : Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (111)


I have no issues with other tools...help!

what other "tools"?

sounds like perhaps mysqld is not running or mysql.sock is actually located elsewhere on your system.  could also be a firewall issue.

check MySQL Manual | A.2.3 Can't connect to [local] MySQL server Error for more tips.
