Re: mySQL socket error !

[Meraj Rasool Khattak <mrkkhattak yahoo com>]

Hi,

it also says that can't connect to the localhost,
although localhost is running, i use the command
"ping" to check it, it works. 

i also read the documentation installed with mySQL,
this error was discussed there too, i tried all of the
things as they told in that, but in vain :-(
http://www.mysql.com/documentation/mysql/bychapter/manual_Problems.html#Can_not_connect_to_server

so anybody have any idea or i'll have to reinstall ???
