mysql.sock vanished on my vserver
ManMan reviews
,
the horror story no one wants. My mysql server stopped working. And I got a warning message from my “server watch” service.
First I thought, ok lets see whats up. And browsed to my site. To see:
The mysqli error was: Can’t connect to local MySQL server through socket ‘/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock’ (2).
Man, and then I tried to fix this problem, but something must gone wild. Cant reinstall mysql, no way to purge it. Or remove it.
Every time I tried to reinstall a new problem went up. Nothing worked. The problem stays. Try to link it, recreate it, reinstalled, purged,
copied and so on. No chance…. I have no clue whats wrong. Even the “almighty” google wasnt a help. All solutions doesnt worked. so I have
to reinstall my vserver 
And I still dont know why my mysql.sock vanished. I dont touched the server in the time where it could happened….
