Hello guys, I have recently bought a Linux VPS and I almost got the server going on.

The problem is that this message appears when trying to open the server:

MYSQL ERROR: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) (2002)
Click to expand...

I have already looked everywhere and I couldn't find anything.
I have also installed XAMPP with mysql.

Are there any possible solutions?

If you are using your ip-address as host; your machine is not able to route back to port 3306 (mysql) since the ports are closed and due to myql's settings.
I'd suggest using localhost/127.0.0.1 instead, if what I asked turns out to be true.

Yours :)
