I have installed LAMP on my Ubuntu machine.
Where Apache2 and PHP5 have been installed properly as when I run apache2 -v
and php5 -v
I am getting their installed versions.
But I am not sure how do I check If My-SQL
is properly installed or not.
Because when I run mysql -u root -p
command, I am getting the below error.
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)
Please help!
