I'm fairly new to the world of web development.

I'm working on a page that requires a database and I followed a tutorial on YouTube in reference to MySQL. However, after I followed the information I attempted to login with my password that I had just set and now I'm getting an error message

ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)

How do I get rid of this and access MySQL? Also, I already have PHP (from VS CODE) installed and XAMPP, those are working fine.

-PS I'm using MacOS

  • Check my.ini for allowed connecting channels. uncomment `socket=..` in [mysqld]. – Akina Jul 27 '22 at 05:25
