Description
Problem from a PHP application connecting to a local MySQL
server database.
Sample
Error
PHP Warning: mysql_connect(): Can't
connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (11)
Possible
causes
- Your local MySQL database is down or not responding
via its local server socket IP address and port.
- Verify the physical utilization of your physical server hosting MySQL and determine if you are dealing with high CPU and/or other resource utilization.
